Fortnite New Update 4.85 Adds Daft Punk and More via v37.31
Fortnite update 4.85 is now live on all platforms, and this is for what Epic Games calls the v37.31 patch. Given the minor patch number jump, don’t expect much from this in terms of new content.
This does add new content in the form of Daft Punk, but outside of that, there’s no new weapons, glider or something — at least what we can see immediately.
Read on for what’s new in our outlined notes below.

Another X/Twitter user called Loolo posted the following:
Festival Party Royale – ‘Welcome to the party! Play games, dance, jam, or simply chat and chill with friends. With surprises and special events to come, the party never ends!’ – ‘Play fast, chaotic games of Tag Dance, jam, and chat with friends Check out special events’

Epic describes it as, “With the Beta release of General Physics coming in v37.40, you’ll be able to publish your physics-enabled islands. Physics provides mechanics for your players to push, topple, hit, and move objects, unlocking emergent physics-driven gameplay. Create experiences that feel more realistic, engaging, and predictably unpredictable. Don’t wait! Get your island physics-ready!”
If we see any official patch notes from Epic Games, we’ll update this post as soon as possible.
