Fortnite update: The latest
Fortnite v9.21 update overview
Release date:June 29, 2025.
This Fortnite update is a small one, but it has some cool new features, including a brand new weapon. It’s somewhere between the grenade launcher and the rocket launcher, with the added benefit of exploding when near an enemy, without needing to make direct contact.
A new game mode is also present in this update, and it appears to be similar to the original Fortnite game mode: Save the World. In it, you team up with up to three other players to fight against the fiends from a many patches ago. Defeat the boss fiend at the end and vie for the high score!

Fortnite update history
Fortnite v9.20 update overview
Release date:August 10, 2025.
The big news with Fortnite update v9.20 is the addition of the Storm Flip, which lets you temporarily turn on or off the Storm in a small area. This could force enemies to abandon their previously safe positions, or allow you to save a downed teammate just outside the safe zone.
This update also contains a number of smaller changes, including the vaulting of all variants of the Hunting Rifle. Mobile players can rejoice, as healing is now much easier with the addition of Quick Heal. Check out the patch notes below for more info!

This Fortnite update also brings back the Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle, which should add more variety to mid/long-range weapon choices. Take full advantage of the unvaulted weapon in the limited time mode Sniper Shootout Duos, or play will all vaulted weapons in Unvaulted Squads.
