New Fortnite Update And Week 7 Challenges Coming Soon

The next Fortnite patch is coming out soon. Epic Games has announced that v5.30 will be released on Thursday, August 23. Additionally, the next week of challenges, Week 7, will be available starting a day later, on August 24. Unfortunately, Epic did not share any information about what's new in the patch or what the new challenges will consist of.

All should become clear soon, so keep checking back with GameSpot for more. The last big patch, v5.21, was released last week. The headline feature of the new update was the brand-new Soaring 50s mode, while an updated version of Sniper Shootout was also released. Additionally, Epic added a new weapon, the Heavy Sniper.

Patch v5.30 is right around the corner! It will release later in the week on Thursday, August 23.

Week 7 Challenges will become available Friday, August 24.
