It’s now down to a polite 27GB

If you’ve yet to download said update,Epic Games have given a little warningthat it’s a bit larger than usual. While the patch is around 27GB to download, it ultimately means future updates will be a bit smaller, and loading times should be better as well. And, of course, the big news here - the game’s overall install size is now only around 27GB itself.
Now, freeing up hard drive space is always welcome news, but Halloween updates are arguably just as exciting, so check out what Fortnite has in store for spook month below.

Fortnitemares kicked off today, bringing map changes, challenges and spooky cosmetics to unlock between now and November 3rd.
That gold spy boss man from the beginning of Chapter 2, Midas, has made a comeback. He’s called Shadow Midas now, because of course he is. He’s in charge of a new game mode, Shadow Royale, where if you die you get turned into one of his Shadows, and you have to go after all the other survivors with creepy ghost abilities.
Sounds suspiciously likeApex Legends' Halloween event. But eh, all battle royales are derivative and all that.
Once you’ve messed around in that game mode and earned (or bought) your new costumes, there’s a Halloween party taking place. On October 31st, the game is hosting another ofthose live concerts, this time featuring a person called J Balvin.
I didn’t know who he was, but he’s done music withDua Lipaand also a song from the, uh,Spongebob Squarepants film. So, look forward to that, I suppose.
