Fortnite’s regular content drops are continuing, and while it’s only been a few weeks since Chapter 7, Season 2 kicked off, a fresh update is on the horizon.
The Battle Royale behemoth is enduring a bit of a turbulent period following Epic Games‘ mass layoffs, which have led to players raising concerns about the long-term stability of the title, but Fortnite is not slowing down anytime soon.
Fortnite v40.10 is due to arrive this week, and Insider Gaming has all the important details on exactly when it drops and what you can expect to be added.
When is The Next Fortnite Update?

Fortnite’s next update is set to arrive on Wednesday, April 1, when Epic Games deploys v40.10 into the fold.
Epic Games is pretty settled into regular updates, deploying major updates alongside downtime every two weeks. With the launch of the latest season on March 19, it’s now time for a new update and a fresh slew of additional content in the game.
