Epic Games has announced that downtime for the next Fortnite update will begin on April 16 at 4 AM ET, letting players know when they can expect the highly anticipated patch to drop. Fortnite left early access years ago, but since it is a live service game, it still receives updates quite regularly. Chapter 7 Season 2 started on March 19, and since then, it has received one update. Patch v40.10 added the April Fool's Day event to Fortnite, as well as the new OG Pass.
Typically, unless Epic Games employees are on vacation, Fortnite updates tend to come out every two weeks. Epic Games has shared the Fortnite updates roadmap, letting players know exactly when each patch is scheduled to drop — unless there is some sort of unexpected change. Thanks to this information, players knew that after the update on April Fool's Day, they would have to wait until April 16 for the next patch. However, they'd have to wait until a few hours prior to its release to know when downtime would begin.
