[2021] v17.20 Release Timing

Hey there /r/FortNiteMobile -

Set out to become a Champion with the upcoming Bugha’s Late Game mode! 🏆

Fortnite v17.20 is slotted for release on July 20. In preparation for the update, services will be disabled starting at approximately 02:30 AM ET (06:30 UTC).

Note this is an earlier start time than usual. 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. Also, Career statistics may stop updating shortly before downtime begins, but they should be accurate once downtime ends.

This is the update that introduces our previously-announced Preferred Item Slots setting, which will be togged ON by default.

We've seen 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.
