FORTNITE UPDATES
Consoles from the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 now perform better. Players that choose the “Low Input Latency Mode” in the settings (Settings > Game > Extra Game Options) will experience less input lag since the game runs at 60 frames per second. By default, Low Input Latency is turned on.
In case you missed it, PlayStation V-Bucks are now part of the shared Fortnite wallet. Now, PlayStation V-Bucks can be used on any platform that accepts the Fortnite Shared Wallet (PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Android, and cloud gaming services).
NEW: CLOUD PROP, RACETRACK GALLERY and MORE!
Prepare to build your ideal racetrack with the v20.40 upgrades’ 11 new galleries, race aficionados! There are nine racetrack galleries with straightaways, twists, and guard rail props included in the galleries.
