Epic Games has released a new Fortnite 2.98 update which is now live on servers. The latest update is available for all platforms and is significantly smaller as compared to the earlier patch. As part of the new Fortnite update, developers have made several gameplay improvements and optimized the title for gaming consoles.

However, the patch does not introduce any new items or content as it primarily focuses on addressing the bugs and other issues. Epic hasn't released the official patch notes on its website, however, the gaming company has been working on a number of major issues which can be found on its Community issues Trello page.
