When is Fortnite's next update?

A new chapter of Fortnite is here.

Ahead of Chapter 6 season 4, Battle Pass premiered Fortnite Super on Friday, along with the superhero's themed clothing and new weapons to try out.

The previous season came to a close on June 7 with a spectacular Star Wars live event.

So far this summer, Fortnite has been plodding along nicely, but it's time for it to pick up speed again.

With a month full of content like the Squid Game Reload takeover and Blitz Royale game mode, it's no surprise that players have been satisfied.

But some players have been left wondering when Epic Games will launch its next update.

Here’s everything we know about Fortnite’s next update, including its release date and possible new features.

When is Fortnite’s next update coming out?

The last day of Fortnite Super is August 8, 2025, but no precise timetables have been disclosed as of yet.

The new season could potentially launch following downtime.

Some reports are suggesting that the upcoming Fortnite update, version 36.20, is scheduled to launch on Tuesday, July 15. According to Fortnite leakers, the firm will return on Monday, July 14 from their summer break before releasing a fresh update the next day.

This is the Fortnite Super map in its entirety.

Some Star Wars locations, such as Outpost Enclave, First Order Base, and Resistance Base, are still present, as seen in the image above. Demon's Domain, Utopia City, and Supernova Academy are the new destinations. Sprites have been transformed into mascots, yet they function in the same manner as previously, albeit with new powers like laser vision.

Before the next major update, there’s a few more content players can expect including a new Fortress of Solitude POI to celebrate the arrival of Superman.

As well as the possible release of Krypto's new Companion cosmetic item, the addition of potentially a new Deadmau5 skin, several new cosmetic encryptions, and possibly confirmation of Fortnite Blitz Royale's permanent mode status.

Fortnite’s next update: what to expect

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 has not yet been completely released by Epic Games, but because the current update recently debuted, we will have to wait at least a month for updates.

We know, however, that Superman has made an appearance, bringing with him tasks that will grant you a Superman Skin and associated cosmetics.
