The latest Fortnite update brought new collaborations

  • The Fortnite x Fall Guys update has finally arrived
  • Epic Games also added Cybertruck and Adidas collaborations
  • This is the third major update of Chapter 5 Season 3

Today’s update brought a lot of new content for almost every game mode in Fortnite. Epic Games decided to go all in with the update, bringing four new collaborations. This includes Fall Guys, a collab that was leaked a few months ago. Interestingly, this will be another major collab, as all skins will get their Fall Guys styles.

In this article, we will list all the new things that arrived with the latest Fortnite patch. For some reason, Xbox players received a much bigger Fortnite update, with some players reporting they needed to download more than 80 gigabytes of data. However, it’s important to note that the update is the same for everyone, and this was likely just a bug.

What did today’s Fortnite update bring?

The Fortnite update brought several major collaborations today, from Cybertruck to Adidas. These collaborations not only affect the Battle Royale mode but all the others as well. Furthermore, Epic released Fall Guys styles for many Fortnite skins, making the update even more exciting.
