A new Fortnite patch is expected to be released on September 24, and despite its smaller size, the update will introduce some unique content for fans to enjoy. Fortnite tends to drop major updates every other Tuesday, with downtime usually starting at 4 AM ET. Matchmaking is disabled 30 minutes before this to avoid players getting kicked out of an ongoing match, and servers only come up an hour or so after the patch is available for download.
