PS5 Fortnite Update Not Working
The latest Fortnite update, version 26.20, is causing problems for PlayStation 5 (PS5) users. While players on other platforms like PS4, Xbox, PC, Android, and Nintendo Switch can access the update, PS5 users are having trouble downloading it. Epic Games, the developer of Fortnite, is currently looking into this issue.
In a tweet, Epic Games acknowledged the problem: "We're aware that players on PS5 were experiencing issues with downloading the v26.20 update." They mentioned that you can now download the update on PS5, which should also fix matchmaking issues. However, they later posted a follow-up message saying that the problem hadn't been completely resolved yet and that they were still investigating.
This means that some PS5 players may not be able to download the update, and as a result, they won't be able to log in and play Fortnite. Epic Games is also working on a new Transformers bundle, which includes items like new Battlebus, Bumblebee, and Megatron skins, and it should be available in the item shop soon.
