Fortnite 24.30 patch notes, downtime, Anakin Skywalker Star Wars skin

Fortnite fans are counting down to the release of update 24.30 on PS4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC, Android and Nintendo Switch. The Star Wars-themed Fortnite update has a May 2 release date on consoles and PC. As a major update, version 24.30 will launch alongside an extended period of server downtime, beginning at 8am BST for fans living in the UK. Matchmaking will be disabled at 7.30am BST, while downtime is expected to end at around 10am. 

The news was announced by Epic Games on Twitter, alongside a teaser about what to expect once the update goes live.

“Find the Force in v24.30!” reads an Epic Games tweet. “Downtime begins at 3AM ET and matchmaking will be disabled shortly before.”

As you can see from the tweet above, update 24.30 will feature brand new Star Wars content, including the previously announced Anakin Skywalker skin.

Launching in time for Star Wars Day on May 4th, the Anakin skin will be joined by another costume from the popular movie series.

That’s on top of new Force Mythics, the return of Lightsabers, blasters, challenges and lots more.

Epic Games will also use the update to fix numerous bugs and gameplay glitches, which you can see in the patch notes below.
