Original Story:

Epic Games has released Fortnite update 2.45, and it’s live now! Called the Fortnite v11.11 patch by Epic, it will show up as Fortnite update 2.45 on consoles. Clocking in at 1.3GB on PS4, we’ve listed down some of the changes we know that are in Fortnite update 2.45, given Epic Games has refrained from posting patch notes, and even the official Fortnite Trello board has not been updated.

Fortnite update 2.45 adds new content to Save the World mode, and address “some known issues in all game modes” according to Epic. In addition to that, there’s reportedly no new skins (per dataminers), though there’s now a search menu for skins!

Again, based on datamined info, the ET emote is getting a music pack, there’s one new loading screen, and the center island is back to normal.

Sadly, that’s all we have so far, but once we get more news about this patch, we’ll update the post. If you know of any changes not mentioned here, send us an email and we’ll add it in (crediting you, of course).
