Fortnite patch notes provide you with an insight into what Epic Games has addressed in the latest update. The problem is, Epic stopped releasing official patch notes when the black hole sucked away the original Fortnite map, way back at the start of chapter two.
For those who are unaware, patch notes detail the latest fixes, changes, and additions for each update. At the start of a new season or chapter, these notes are full of new additions as well as some subtractions. During the season, you may find these notes focus on bug fixes and other minor improvements.

Fortnite patch notes for Update v24.01
Wargames week 8: Meltdown
Wargames’ Week 8 begins Thursday, March 15, 2023, at 8 PM ET. Your Storm Shield has gone critical and is emitting a growing radiation field. This radiation causes visibility issues and deals damage to players while in direct contact.
Wargames week 9: Double Trouble
Week 9 of Wargames begins Thursday, March 22, 2023, at 8 PM ET. There are two indestructible Golden Smashers with cycling modifiers loose in your fort. If that doesn’t sound terrifying enough, their ill temperament switches between attacking Heroes and the fort.
Homebase naming update
In the v24.00 update, we’ve removed Homebase names. We’re now consistently using your Epic display name across the game instead.
Battle Pass XP update
In the v24.00 update we’ll be updating Battle Pass XP to the following:
- Quest XP has been reduced slightly.
- Mission XP (and the daily cap) have been increased.
- Combined the XP rate will be similar.
- XP for Wargames Dailies was changed so that only the first daily quest you do rewards XP.
