Bug Fixes

  • Removed a change that was inadvertently introduced in v6.01 which caused Bonesy to bark more than was intended.
  • Fixed an issue that caused moving circles to be closer to the previous safezone than intended.
  • Fixed some hitches on Switch caused by blocking loads of UI data.
  • Increased the texture pool size on Xbox One, which should avoid some issues with blurry textures and improve rendering performance.
    • The Outfit still appears properly in-game.
    • This issue will be fixed next patch.Skull Trooper styles have a visual issue when viewing the Outfit from the Locker.

Fortnite is now available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile devices.
