Summary
- Fortnite's latest update presents a storage issue for Xbox users, with a massive 68 GB patch causing download problems.
- Epic Games is working to address the large patch size for Xbox players, urging them to start the installation process early.
Fortnite's newest update poses a problem for Xbox players, requiring much more storage space to download than other platforms. The issue comes as Epic Games releases the game's latest V30.30 patch, which comes toward the end of Chapter 5 Season 3: Wrecked, a season that has introduced a variety of new items and gameplay changes to Fortnite.
Fortnite's Chapter 5 Season 3 update shook up the battle royale game in a plethora of ways, with large portions of the map being transformed into harsh wastelands. As a result, vehicles are incredibly important for survival this season. Players can find and collect a variety of vehicle upgrades ranging from machine gun turrets to bullet-proof tires. A ton of new cosmetic items were also added to Fortnite, with the iconic Power Armor from the Fallout series making its way into the game as a playable skin, as well as the legendary X-Men character Magneto. However, Xbox players are encountering issues with Fortnite's latest patch, making it hard to download due to its size.
Fortnite: Where to Find the Mythic Goldfish
The elusive Mythic Goldfish is a highly sought-after prize for a few reasons in Fortnite, and here's exactly what players need for their search.
According to multiple online reports from players, Fortnite' s new V30.30 patch is much larger than expected. Twitter user Noahmattingly1 shared an image of them attempting to download the patch on their Xbox console, revealing the patch comes in at a whopping 68 GB. While Fortnite's seasonal updates can be large in both size and ambition, it's rare for a patch to be as big as this one is. Players will need around 27 GB for the initial installation of Fortnite, though this increases with new updates, cosmetics, and other additions.
New Fortnite Update Causes Problems For Xbox Players
In response to complaints and concerns from Xbox users, Epic Games is addressing the issue head-on. According to the official Fortnite Status Twitter account, Fortnite's latest game patch was not intended to be this large for Xbox users, though players may just have to wait it out or make space on their devices themselves. The team says it understands the patch size is inconvenient and is investigating the issue, encouraging Xbox players to start the installation process ahead of time.
Fortnite's Wrecked season officially ends on August 16, 2024, giving players a few more weeks to wrap up any uncollected rewards and challenges. Players have had quite a time using new items like Magneto Power and the Nitro Fists, though excitement is steadily building for Fortnite's next season. Included in Fortnite's latest update is Elon Musk's infamous Cybertruck, allowing players to traverse the map in one of the world's most unique-looking vehicles. The car is unlocked by completing Fortnite's new Summer Road Trip quest, which is free for all players.
