Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 has already been quite exciting for players as since the past month the community has been enjoying the festivities that the Winterfest update brought to the game. A snow-themed biome, Winterfest log cabin, and free rewards to claim, all were highly praised by players as the most-awaited update is almost here.

Right after Epic’s winter break, the second major patch for Chapter 6 Season 1, v33.20 was deployed and it brought tons of new content to the game, including the much-awaited beast Godzilla, in a rumored battle with his nemesis Kong. The update added many other new things, so let’s take a look at the patch notes.
