Ahead of this Saturday’s Spotlight live concert featuring Anderson Paak, we’ve put together some tips for our content creators to ensure the best possible experience while sharing the event with your communities.
Get ready to see Fortnite in a new light. Beginning today, PC players using supported NVIDIA GPU cards and DirectX12 can enable ray tracing and NVIDIA DLSS!
The advanced rendering capability of ray tracing allows new visual and lighting effects previously not possible in Fortnite. With our latest update, we’re delivering improved ambient occlusion, shadows, reflections, and real-time global illumination.
How’s it look? The side-by-side screenshots below show how supporting PCs can create lifelike reflections and shadows when ray tracing is enabled. Nvidia has also pulled together a ray-traced map in Creative to show off the new tech. Use this Island code to check it out: 9189-0518-5408.

Apple is preventing Epic from signing games and patches for distribution on Mac, which ends our ability to develop and offer Fortnite: Save the World for the platform. Specifically, our upcoming v14.20 release will cause bugs for players on v13.40, resulting in a very poor experience. Since we are no longer able to sign updates and release fixes for these issues, beginning September 23, 2020, Fortnite: Save the World will no longer be playable on macOS.
We are issuing a refund for all players who purchased any Save the World Founder’s or Starter Packs (including Upgrades) and played Save the World on macOS between September 17, 2019 and September 17, 2020. Additionally, any purchased V-Bucks spent on Llamas on macOS in this period will also be refunded. As of today, September 17, 2020, Save the World Starter Packs will no longer be available for purchase on macOS.

Starting today, we're testing a new look for the Item Shop. During this test, some players may see a new design for the Item Shop. The items and prices of the Item Shop are exactly the same for everyone no matter which design you see — it’s only the display that is different!
Currently, the test is only running on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. The test may expand to other platforms in the future.
While we run this test, the options to go directly to the Item Shop or Locker from the end of a match will be disabled for all players temporarily.
