Fortnite Update for Sept. 24 Brings Version 4.38
Heads up! Epic Games has released a new Fortnite update this September 24, and console gamers will see this as update 4.38 on last-gen, with current-gen seeing this as version 1.000.149. Given the big v31.20 patch was just released last week, don’t expect any content from this outside of fixes.
