Epic Games has released another update for its popular battle royale shooter, Fortnite. The 10.31 patch is now live on all platforms, although it's a fairly minor one in terms of content; no new items have been added to the title this week, but players on mobile can now take advantage of the new Party Hub feature. Read on for the patch notes.

　　As Epic describes on its website, Party Hub is a "new feature that provides a space to link up with your friends as you prepare to drop into Fortnite." The feature allows you to see which of your friends are online, form a party with them, and voice chat. You can learn more in Epic's Party Hub FAQ.

　　Now Playing: Fortnite Adds Party Hub & Fixes The Storm Circle - GS News Update

　　Beyond that, update 10.31 mostly resolves a handful of issues with the game. The Star Wand and AC/DC Pickaxes now deal the intended amount of damage, and ziplines have been re-enabled after Epic fixed a bug that "could give players an unintended effect." The developer has also tweaked the Storm Circle so that it no longer ends at the following areas:
