Matchmaking is disabled 30 minutes before this to avoid players getting kicked out of an ongoing match, and servers only come up an hour or so after the patch is available for download.
The lastFortniteupdate was released on September 17. Patch v31.20 was a major update, adding theI Am Iron Man Quests, Tony Stark weapons, and the Day of Doom LTM.

Epic Games has confirmed that starting September 24, fans will finally be able toplayFortniteReloadin Ranked mode. On top of this, leaker ShiinaBR claims that a content update will drop tomorrow, including the files for Ranked Reload, the Rubius Icon Series cosmetics, and a free Ranked skin. This will likely be a small content patch that will require a quick update to the game rather than a larger patch with several hours of downtime. Regardless, Ranked Reload should release at the same time that Daily Quests refresh inFortnite, so gamers can expect it to become available at 9 AM ET.
Expected Fortnite Update Release Time (June 20, 2025)
The free Ranked skin had already been leaked and should work like previous free skins included in the popular title, such as the Desdemona skin. In this case, players couldunlock Desdemon for free inFortniteif they gained 50 account levels before the offer expired.
It’s unlikely that the in-game shop will change once the update drops, meaning that Rubius will likely be made available during anItem Shop refreshsometime during the upcoming week. Leakers have already revealed that the Rubius skin will be obtainable for 1,500 V-Bucks and the Flamitas de Kevin will be sold for 500 V-Bucks. Additionally, the ASMR Keys emote will set players back 300 V-Bucks, while the Wilson back bling and pickaxe bundle will be 1,000 V-Bucks. Alternatively, fans can purchase the entire Rubius bundle for 2,400 V-Bucks. Many fans have been waiting to learn more about the Wilson back bling, with players eager to carry the orange cat on their back as they traverse the game world. For many, it has been disheartening to learn that the cosmetic won’t be sold separately.
