So far, Epic hasn’t released the official patch notes for today’s update. However, we’ve included the known issues the dev team are looking into (via Twitter and the official Fortnite Trello board).

We are aware that some players are not being granted "Stage 1 – Earn XP in Creator Made Experiences" in Spooky Show Off Fortnitemares Quests.

We are investigating the issue and will provide an update when we have one.
