The 24.01 patch became available to download at 8am GMT today (Monday 20th March).<\/p>\n<p>However, this one is a little different to the regular updates. In fact, it\u2019s got nothing to do with maps, skins, cosmetics or weapons \u2013 and you might find the news a tad underwhelming.<\/p>\n<p>So what\u2019s it all about exactly, and what has actually changed with today\u2019s Fortnite update? Well, keep on reading and we\u2019ll share all the details (or lack thereof) below.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What\u2019s new in the Fortnite update today? Patch notes revealed<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As Epic Games announced through its official Fortnite Status account on Twitter, \u201cWith this update, 120 FPS and Splitscreen on Xbox Series S have been resolved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, if you\u2019d been having problems with frame rates and\/or <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-split-screen-explained\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite split-screen<\/a> (specifically on Xbox Series S), today\u2019s update should have fixed that.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;\" data-dnt=\"&quot;true&quot;\"><p lang=\"&quot;en&quot;\" dir=\"&quot;ltr&quot;\">With this update, 120 FPS and Splitscreen on Xbox Series S have been resolved.<\/p>\u2014 Fortnite Status (@FortniteStatus) <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/twitter.com\/FortniteStatus\/status\/1637786407652532225?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;\">March 20, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async=\"\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;\" charset=\"&quot;utf-8&quot;\"\/>\n<p>Epic Games hasn\u2019t released the official patch notes for today\u2019s update just yet, so that Tweet really is all we have to go on. As soon as anything changes, we\u2019ll update you right here on this page.<\/p> <h2><strong>What else is in this Fortnite update? Latest rumours<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Rumour time! According to a prolific Fortnite \u2018leaker\u2019 on Twitter, the latest update added \u201cno new cosmetics\u201d, and is mainly to do with the upcoming Unreal Editor component of the game, which is apparently called \u2018Unreal Editor for Fortnite\u2019 (UEFN).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;\" data-dnt=\"&quot;true&quot;\"><p lang=\"&quot;en&quot;\" dir=\"&quot;ltr&quot;\">No new cosmetics in this update, it only includes some final touches for UEFN which will be released on Wednesday at 12pm ET.<\/p>\u2014 Shiina (@ShiinaBR) <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShiinaBR\/status\/1637730986547990528?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;\">March 20, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async=\"\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;\" charset=\"&quot;utf-8&quot;\"\/>\n<p>The UEFN new application is, according to an <a href=\"\/\/store.epicgames.com\/en-US\/p\/fortnite--uefn&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">official blog from Epic Games<\/a>, \u201ca new PC application for designing, developing, and publishing games and experiences directly into Fortnite\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>So, although Epic hasn\u2019t explicitly said that today\u2019s update was linked to the Unreal Editor, the existence of this upcoming content has been confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>It will be available for both consoles and PC from Wednesday 22nd March, and looks to be a huge step up from the already existing creator tools in Fortnite.
