The Fortnite 2.16 update patch notes (Fortnite 8.40.1have been detailed by developer Epic Games. This new Fortnite patch specifically targets the “issues that started occurring in patch 8.40.” This is the reason why the new Fortnite update today is being rolled out at an unexpected time. While the 8.40 update introduced many awesome new additions to the game, including the Air Royale limited time mode event and new Epic and Legendary variants of the Infantry Rifle, it has also caused a bit of chaos in terms with connectivity. The 2.16 (8.40.1) update aims to fix these issues across PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Android, and iPhone. Happily, no downtime is required, but players will need to exit the game and download the new patch to be able to continue matchmaking and playing with others.
