Fortnite Update V10.40.1: Server Downtime Date and Time
Epic Games has announced when the next Fortnite update will be, and has indicated server downtime when installing the patch.
We are almost at the end of Season 10 of Fortnite and the Battle Pass countdown timer states that the season will end on Sunday, October 6th. It was previously thought that there would be no new update for Season 10, however Epic just announced on social media that there will be another last patch for this season.
In a tweet posted by the official Fortnite Twitter account, Epic Games announced that the next Fortnite update will be v10.40.1. The update will arrive tomorrow, October 2nd, and there will be server downtime. Fortnite servers will be down at 4am ET (11am ET).
Hi there!
- Fortnite (@FortniteGame) 1th of October 2019
Patch v10.40.1 arrives tomorrow.
Downtime will begin at 4 AM ET (0800 UTC), and the Patch Notes will be available when downtime ends.
Perhaps this update is only meant to fix bugs as well as add encrypted files for the upcoming Fortnite Rocket launch event.
There probably won't be any new files for dataminers to examine since the last change was a major patch update. However, as always, we will keep you updated with the latest news coming from v10. 40
