Fortnite Update 22.10 Release Date

The first update of Fortnite Season 4 could arrive as soon as Tuesday, 4 October. We know that the update is in the works and has been tested, but until it is placed on the staging servers, its release date remains a mystery.

While there is every possibility that this update arrives on the above date, we must also address the fact that first updates within a new season can often take around a month to arrive. This would place 22.10 at around 18-25 October instead.

Will There be Sever Downtime?

As will all major Fortnite Updates, there will be a period of server downtime to allow the update to take place with minimum fuss. The update will take place at 1 am PT / 4 am ET / 9 am BST.

Servers can be down anywhere from one hour all the way up to around four hours, depending on the complexity of the changes, the size of the update and if there are any issues with the patching process.

What Will Change in Update 22.10?

The first update of a Fortnite Season is arguably the hardest one to predict. We wouldn’t expect a ton of changes and it could mostly be reactive bug fixes from the season change.

That being said, there is talk of more map changes still to come as well as the return of planes and helicopters this season. One final rumour is that flying animals are set to show up on the island but this could be for a much later update or even a different season entirely.
