[2021] v17.20: Release Timing

r/FortNiteBR!

In our next game update, set out to become a Champion. 🏆 The Bugha’s Late Game Arena mode arrives soon after the update.

Fortnite v17.20 is slotted for release on July 20. In preparation, services will be disabled starting at approx. 02:30 AM ET (06:30 UTC). Please note this is an earlier time than usual.

Some other things to note:

• This is the update that introduces the previously-announced Preferred Item Slots setting.
• Arena playlists will be disabled starting July 19 at 10:00 PM ET (July 20 at 02:00 UTC). We plan to have them available again after downtime has ended, but there may be a delay.
• Career statistics may stop updating shortly before downtime begins, but they should be accurate once downtime ends.
• We've heard reports from players that the "Deploy Alien Nanites anywhere other than Holly Hatchery" Quest is not tracking progress properly. We plan to auto-complete this Quest with the release of v17.20.

Thank you!
