Why Does Fortnite Take So Long to Update?

Ever wondered why you’re staring at the update screen of Fortnite for what seems like forever? Let’s dive into why Fortnite updates might be taking a chunk out of your gaming time.

So, why does it feel like you could watch an entire movie before Fortnite finishes updating? We’re here to break it down for you, easy-peasy.

Behind the Long Update Times

First off, Fortnite is a massive game. With millions of players around the world, the creators, Epic Games, always work to make it better. This means adding new stuff like skins, maps, and game modes. But all these cool updates need to go from their brains to your game, which takes time.

Another big reason is your internet connection. A speedy internet means a quicker update. If your internet is more tortoise than hare, you might wait longer. Plus, sometimes the update itself is just big. More stuff means more time to download and install it.
