Time for teamwork.
The nostalgia is in full swing in the world of Fortnite, with the Reload map giving us those 2017 feels for the second time since OG last year.
However, players should expect a bit of downtime today. This is a fairly regular situation, of course, so long-term fans shouldn’t be too shocked by the little break.
Today’s downtime is due to an update to the Reload map, which will introduce a fan-favourite mode to proceedings.
Wondering what’s coming? Let’s take a closer look at what we know about today’s update, and when we can expect the full list of patch notes.
Fortnite update today (27th June): What is changing?
The reason for today’s Fortnite update is that Duos mode is being added to the Reload map.
This was announced on X via the official Fortnite Status account. Check out the post below:
Fortnite will be taking a brief downtime at 4:00 AM ET, with matchmaking disabled shortly beforehand.

Reload Duos arrives tomorrow @ 9:00 AM ET ! https://t.co/AaabscuwCe
Duos, as the name suggests, is a mode in which you pair up with a friend and work together against 20 other duos on the Reload map.
You might be wondering if there are any other changes coming with the update. All should be revealed in the full patch notes, but Epic hasn’t released them yet.
Let’s take a look at when we’ll be able to check them out.

Where are the full patch notes for Fortnite update today?
Duos isn’t actually arriving in the game until 2pm BST in the UK today (Thursday 27th June), according to Epic’s Tweets, so that’s when we expect the full patch notes to be released.
Be sure to keep an eye out on the official X page, or the official Fortnite website. We’ll be sure to update this page as soon as the notes are released.
Until then, we hope you enjoy the changes – and good luck fighting side by side in Reload Duos!
