Downloadable now across all platforms, update version 40.30 for Fortnite is a pretty sizable one. The majority of this patch is dedicated to squashing various bugs that players have been coming across in recent weeks. Other than this, though, Epic has also provided some new quality-of-life improvements to its battle royale, Festival, and OG game modes.

Other than these new additions, Epic has also outlined the errors that are still present in Fortnite that it’s aware of. A timeline for when these known issues might be resolved wasn’t provided by Epic, but it’s assumed that these bugs will be fixed in a future patch that should go live in the coming days or weeks.

Until then, to get a look at everything that has been done in this new Fortnite update today, you can view the full patch notes below.
