The Fortnite 2.73 update patch notes (13.00) are here, with the new patch now rolling out across PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android platforms today, June 17. As you might expect, the new Fortnite update requires a maintenance period, which is scheduled to start at 2 AM ET (6 AM UTC). This normally lasts around 1-2 hours, so you’ll have a little bit of time to wait until you get back to playing! In the meantime, why not read up on the datamined findings and official patch notes.
