Fortnite will undergo maintenance today ahead of the 24.30 update - which will bring a new batch of Star Wars content ahead of meme day 'May the 4th'.

Following a week-long delay from the expected launch date, the update is set to go live later today (Tuesday), marking the third major update of Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2.

Epic Games has confirmed on Twitter that the update will go live today at 8am. Matchmaking typically goes down 30 minutes prior to an update, so you'll need to finish up any games before then.

Thanks to some reliable leakers we know that this years version of the annual Fortnite x Star Wars crossover will be bringing back Lightsabers and Blasters, as well as introducing Force powers for this year's event.
