If you've been annoyed by the huge Fortnite install size on PC, there's good news coming up today. Epic Games announced that the new update, version 14.40, is rather large coming in at 27GB; however, this is all for the greater good as the Fortnite install size will now occupy a mere 31.5GB space on your hard drive instead of the usual 99GB. According to Epic, this should also improve loading performance.
This Fortnite install size reduction patch also introduced the Halloween event to the game, called 'Fortnitemares' and featuring the comeback of Midas.
After being eliminated in Solo, Duos, or Squads, return to battle as a Shadow for your shot at a Nitemare Royale. Join fellow Shadows to defeat survivors by using your otherworldly abilities, like possessing the body of vehicles…
The first island will be available later today, October 21. Return to Fortnite Creative each day through October 24 to check out a new featured island and find the new digits. After you find all the digits, enter the completed code at fortnite.com/redeem to add the Wrath's Wrath Wrap to your Locker! (The redemption code will expire on October 27 at 10 AM ET.)
