Fortnite v12.61 update, the last addition for Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 2 is now live. The downtime is expected to last 2 to 3 hours and the update sits at around 3.88 GB for Xbox, 1.8 GB for PS4, and 1.75 GB on Windows.
With four days to go for the Doomsday event, the Fortnite update introduces a horde of new elements into the game, which are important for the in-game storyline.
The Fortnite update prior to v12.61 primarily introduced new cosmetic items in the game, with very minimal additions to the storyline. However, since v12.60, there have been significant changes to the Doomsday device in Midas' room along with an active clock which is visible on the Fortnite lobby screen and atop "The Agency".
Fortnite v12.61 update will be the last before we move into Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 3 which will allegedly feature an 'Underwater' theme.
