The Fortnite 2.67 update patch notes (12.40) are here for you to read, with the new patch now rolling out across PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android platforms for today, April 15. Unlike the previous update, which was purely a “maintenance patch” and didn’t add much in the way of new content, this new Fortnite update should be different, with the 12.40 numbering usually indicating that this is more than your usual XX.X1 or XX.XX.1 minor fix. There is downtime for the update, with it starting at 2 AM ET (6 AM UTC), which is expected to last for an hour or two.
Fortnite 2.67 Update Patch Notes (12.40)
If you don’t immediately start to see the Fortnite 2.67 update begin to download and install, you can use your system’s “Check for update” function to force the console, phone, or PC to search for any new patches. This should begin the download process and bring you one step closer to checking out the latest changes.

Thankfully, dataminers have been digging into the latest build of the game, which should give us a good idea of what the patch contains before we read the official word from Epic Games. Here’s what has been datamined so far:
