Is Fortnite down? Server downtime schedule and early update 36.20 patch notes
The latest Fortnite update is poised to arrive following a new round of downtime, with high expectations for a wealth of unannounced content.
Fortnite has been basking in a surge of fresh content recently, arriving at such a pace that it would be easy to assume frequent updates were being rolled out. However, this hasn't been the case.
Epic Games' summer break has been ongoing since June, allowing the diligent developers behind Fortnite some well-deserved rest, and the average player was likely none the wiser. The introduction of Blitz Royale mode and Squid Grounds Reload takeover more than satisfied fans, but now, there's plenty more on the horizon.
The forthcoming Fortnite update promises to bring new content to the game, along with a host of much-needed bug fixes to keep the game running smoothly. So when exactly does the downtime commence? Here's what you need to know about the impending Fortnite downtime.

Is Fortnite down?
Fortnite downtime is slated to start on Tuesday, July 15 at 1am PDT / 4am EDT / 9am BST. This timing has been confirmed in a recent tweet from @FortniteStatus, aligning with the downtimes of updates 36.10 and update 35.10.
Updates have typically lasted between two and three hours recently, so we can anticipate that the upcoming downtime will conclude by 4am PDT / 7am EDT / 12pm BST at the latest.
Fortnite early patch notes
If you're keen to discover what's in store for the next Fortnite update, your best bet is to visit the Fortnite community Trello board. This is where the developers keep players in the loop about upcoming bug fixes.
Here's everything tagged as 'Fixed in Next Game Update' on the Trello board, spanning various modes:
General issues
Nanite Buzzsaw may appear incorrectly to others – When a player equips the Nanite Buzzsaw Pickaxe for the first time in a match, it may briefly appear distorted or misplaced to other players.
Lego Fortnite
Save the World
Chests and other containers may appear already opened or empty in Hit the Road – Searchable containers (chests, toolboxes or storage boxes) may appear already opened and/or contain no loot. Interacting with these containers will still award Cassette Tapes.
Considering the amount of time many developers have had away from the game, it's a relatively brief list. However, we anticipate the forthcoming update will bring a host of additional fixes as the Epic Games team gets back on track.
Regardless, we'll gladly welcome any fixes over none at all.

Fortnite streamer forced to BAN 15-year-old fan from his Twitch chat over shock behavior
As technology and social media become increasingly embedded in our lives, people become more fearful as to how it may affect people - specifically younger generations. And as a popular Twitch streamer learned, children who are given unlimited access online tend to make some questionable decisions. Cody Conrod, or 'Clix,' is a popular pro Fortnite streamer with more than eight million followers. This means that he plays the online game on a live stream, all while interacting with subscribers and fans. These fans have the ability to donate real money to streamers, usually as an indication that they enjoy their content. While this is typically something a streamer would be happy about, Clix found himself in a situation where he was contemplating sending the money back to a viewer. Reddit users reposted a clip from Clix's stream, along with the title 'Fortnite Streamer Clix bans a 14-year-old in his Twitch chat for donating over $36,000 to him in a month.' After listening to the clip, it's revealed that the fan, Lucas, is 15 years old and donated $35,000 to streamers. Clix tries to make sense of the situation. 'You [made] $18K profit this year, you spent $35K on streamers, and now you want to quit the one thing that's making you revenue after you just spent all your money?' Clix asked the boy, incredulous. From the conversation, one can surmise that this 15-year-old boy is also a streamer who makes a good amount of profit - but also uses double that on other streamers. The boy confirms this information and says, 'Yeah, 'cause I don't enjoy it.' 'Dude, I don't want to promote refunds... but like, bro. Why the f**k did you spend $35,000?' Clix continued. Clix then tells Lucas that he makes 'millions and millions' of dollars but still wouldn't donate 'more than $2,000' to streamers a month. Lucas goes on to explain that he gets a 'dopamine rush' anytime a streamer says his name - 'it's addicting,' he said. In response, Clix first asks Lucas if his parents are 'financially stable' and then 'financially well,' and Lucas responds 'Yeah' to both.' When asked why he finally stopped, Lucas admits that his father found out and was 'annoyed.' From the clip, it's hard to tell what Clix ended up doing in the situation since he said goodbye to Lucas and the young fan said he was going to bed, but based on the title of the Reddit thread, it's assumed that he eventually banned the streamer for the irresponsible behavior. And Reddit users agreed with action while in disbelief that a teenager would have access to that much money - and then spend it so frivolously. 'This is my question. Where's this money coming from? Because if it's his parents' money, how have they not noticed?!' one Reddit user said. 'Kid donated my yearly salary to a streamer over the course of a month... Jesus Christ,' another added. 'Kids are f**king stupid and have access to mom and dads credit card. What do you expect?' one user said, summarizing the situation. 'Plus, this type of media glorifies it because you can be seen in front of thousands of others, generating a false sense of popularity.'

Who will win Radio 1's Giant Face Off? - A Friday finale awaits Greg James and Jamie Laing
Update: Date: 17:43 BST Title: We're wrapping up coverage for the day Content: See you tomorrow at 7am for the big finale. Here's a round up of today's action The day started with a 'flag in a haystack' game on Tom the Young Farmer's farm. Dean McCullough (Team Greg) managed to win a flag for his side. "This victory feels sweet, with a hint of manure," he said. Here's Dean holding the tiny flag in triumph Listener Lily then secured another flag for Team Greg via a Cornish bakery. Everything was looking rosy for our Breakfast Show host. But the scores were narrowed again via Katie, who made her way to Happy Bottom Nature Reserve after clues were spotted via BBC Bristol Our DJs Charlie Hedges and Lauren Layfield were summoned to play a daft game involving eggs. They had to create contraptions that would protect an egg being thrown from the top of HMS Warrior. No idea why, but Lauren won the game with a very nice feat of engineering. Another win for Team Jamie. And after more shenanigans and flag-finding in the Shetland Islands, a showdown awaited our DJs in North Wales. First one down a 100mph zip wire would secure a flag - Team Greg knew they needed just one more flag to win the whole game. But it was the awesome Ore who won the North Wales race, zooming via zip wire to pick up a crucial flag for Team Jamie. This means the game will reach its summit tomorrow morning (Fri 25 July) in Newcastle. Update: Date: 17:36 BST Title: Greg and Jamie have been summoned to the North East Content: A new message from the mysterious studio phone You're at a 9-9 split. There's a big gap in the North East. The weather in Newcastle is looking pretty good tomorrow. Maybe check it out. Also, why don't you bring one of your teammates for you? Lots of love, phone. Update: Date: 17:29 BST Title: Get Involved Content: Can't believe it. Ore's already at the top?! Rachel in Birmingham I'm team Greg! I thought we had it in the bag! Jade in Hastings I think we all need to take a collective breath Sam MacGregor, Team Jamie For those wondering, Alyx still got to go on the zip wire Update: Date: 17:23 BST Title: "One of the best experiences of my life" Content: Our victor of the latest flag, Ore Olukoga, is buzzing to have won a crucial flag for Team Jamie. We don't have confirmation of this yet, but we think this means the game continues until Friday! Ore wins it for Team Jamie Update: Date: 17:19 BST Title: New flag for Team Jamie! Content: Via a 100mph zip wire Alyx (Team Greg) knew that if she got to the zip wire first, she would get the 10th - and final - flag for her side. The game would be over. But by the time she arrived on site, she spotted her rival Ore (Team Jamie) already by the flags. He'd already completed the zip wire! Much to Alyx's dismay. "I can't swear because I'm live on Radio 1, but..." It's 9-9. So this game is going right to the (zip) wire. Update: Date: 16:51 BST Title: Alyx Holcombe is speeding to the zip line Content: Can she bag the final flag team Greg needs? Our latest clue points to the zip wire in Penrhyn Quarry and we heard from Ore Olukoga who is running to get that flag for team Jamie, but Sam and Danni were struggling to get through to Alyx Holcombe who is repping team Greg. Luckily for Greg, we've just heard from Alyx who was struggling with patchy phone signal. She said she's just 20 minutes away from the zip wire but will she get there in time to bag the win for Greg? The whole game hinges on who gets this flag as Greg just needs one more to win the entire game. Danni pointed this out to Alyx for a bit of motivation, to which she replied: "It's quite a lot of pressure though isn't it Danni!" Update: Date: 16:33 BST Title: Ore's been briefed to get the next flag via a zip wire Content: Meanwhile, nobody can get hold of Alyx Holcombe on Team Greg Ore OlukogaTeam Jamie "Ok, I've never done a zip wire in my life. Oh my word." "I'm here to win. I can worry about my fear of heights a bit later." Update: Date: 16:20 BST Title: A new clue! Content: A new clue's popped up on Netflix's socials, tagging Greg and Jamie, external. It features a clip from comedy show I Think You Should Leave - a funny sketch in which Tim Robinson's character is in a Love Island-style villa, but only wants to use a zipwire. Netflix's caption reads: "are you only here for the zipline?" And subtitles on the clip are in Welsh. So we think this means our Wales-based presenters, Alyx and Ore, need to head to zip world in Penrhyn Quarry. A new clue posted by Netflix UK Update: Date: 16:15 BST Title: We have entered 5-a-side territory with the latest score Content: Next goal wins? Update: Date: 16:13 BST Title: New flag won for Team Greg! Content: One flag away from glory Listener Chloe moved quickly - she's at the Sumburgh Head Lighthouse in Shetland. Chloe was in the middle of baking a cake when she heard about Shetland's involvement in the Giant Face Off. She had two flags to choose from, as per. And she went for Team Greg! "I hope your cake is absolutely disgusting," joked Team Jamie rep Sam MacGregor. 9-8 to Greg Update: Date: 16:04 BST Title: To the lighthouse! Content: Shannon from Shetland (who has a Shetland pony called Aoife) is 15 minutes' drive from the lighthouse. She just picked her daughter up from childcare - she says she's going to head over and find out what all the fuss is about. Go on Shannon! Update: Date: 15:52 BST Title: It would take Sam MacGregor 22 hours to drive to the Shetland Islands Content: So he needs your help - text/WhatsApp 03700 100 100 Sam MacGregorRadio 1 DJ (Team Jamie) "If you live there, good for you, it looks beautiful. But do us a job please. We need you to find the flag on the lighthouse!" Update: Date: 15:41 BST Title: Here's what's at stake Content: Giant Face Off forfeits Greg JamesBBC Radio 1 Breakfast host If I win, I also get to become godfather of Jamie Laing's child. If he wins, I go back and do the Going Home show, like it's 2015. And Jamie has also promised to stop all the avenues of joy in my life. I'm quite worried about that, actually. Update: Date: 15:30 BST Title: It's 8-8 - all square Content: Matt EdmondsonRadio 1 presenter (Team Jamie) Two flags to win it, first to 10. It was looking bad for Jamie earlier, but it's looking up now. Is it going to get done today? It very well might do. Update: Date: 15:09 BST Title: Any listeners in Shetland? Content: We're 99% sure our latest clue is directing Teams Greg and Jamie to the Sumburgh Head Lighthouse. Text/WhatsApp 03700 100 100 to get in touch (full contact details here). Update: Date: 15:00 BST Title: We've passed the 3pm deadline for flags being 'stolen' by another team Content: So that's it, Greg has 8 flags, Jamie has 8. Any more flags won need to be new and previously undiscovered - no funny business. One is in North Wales, and now one appears to be on a lighthouse in the Shetland Islands. That's where those new cryptic coordinates are pointing to. We're hoping to hear from Ore Olukoga and Alyx Holcombe (pictured below next to team colours) soon to find out how their Wales ventures are going. Update: Date: 14:57 BST Title: A new clue: Where do these coordinates point to? Content: Radio 1's in-house studio phone just rang, and it's given us another clue. The latest message says: It's me, your best friend, the phone. We've only got 3 more flags to find. How about you try looking here.. 59.8543N 1.2746W Update: Date: 14:47 BST Title: We finally have visuals on the egg contraptions Content: The moment you've been waiting for We've been sent some pics of Charlie and Lauren's #egggate inventions. It very much looks like a low-budget episode of Taskmaster, and we're here for it. Lauren's was the winner. An engineering triumph. We hope she's kept hold of it. Update: Date: 14:24 BST Title: It's a flag win for Team Jamie! Content: The scores are level again This wasn't an easy flag to win. Our Portsmouth-based presenters were tasked with making egg vessels out of recyclable goods. The eggs, in their parcels, were to be be dropped on the floor from the top of the HMS Warrior, and the presenter with the most eggs still in fact wins a flag. Lauren (Team Jamie) attempted something daring, an engineering feat - a yoghurt pot attached to a plastic bag, with blown up rubber gloves underneath the pot. Charlie (Team Greg) went with coffee cup with lots of bubble wrap inside, resembling a handbag in design. But who won the game? Both receptacles landed relatively comfortably. An independent adjudicator declared this a win for Team Jamie. "As predicted, a hot air balloon would perform better than a handbag." Update: Date: 14:10 BST Title: What exactly is Radio 1's Giant Face Off? Content: We are three days in to a very chaotic, daft game on Radio 1. If you're new to the Giant Face Off, allow Greg James to explain... This video can not be played Greg James explains the rules for Radio 1's silly game of the summer.

Resident Evil and Silent Hill inspired indie horror launches at the end of July
Heartworm is a 90s-inspired survival horror game from solo developer Vincent Adinolfi and you can try the demo on Steam now before it launches at the end of the month. Heartworm, a bite-sized survival horror game from solo developer Vincent Adinolfi, is offering a sneak peek with a demo on Steam before its official launch at the end of the month. Heartworm is a 'lo-fi horror' set to release in late July, in a nostalgic nod to the 90s and draws inspiration from cult classics like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Project Zero. It promises all the beloved elements of these games, including door loading screens, a spooky mansion, plenty of puzzles, and a heroine dressed in the quintessential 90s outfit of a t-shirt, cargo shorts, and combat boots. Players will step into the shoes of Sam, a young woman grappling with her grandfather's death and seeking closure online – a decision that leads her to a mysterious mansion in the mountains rumoured to be home to something supernatural. Despite the glaring warning signs, Sam ventures forth armed only with a camera to fend off the eerie, static-like enemies. Don't anticipate AAA visuals with this one. This is a genuine throwback, though you can adjust the settings for a more contemporary feel; specifically a "modern control scheme with 3rd person over-the-shoulder aiming and optional classic tank controls." You can also choose "pixelation and retro effects" if you're keen to fully embrace that classic 90s horror atmosphere. What's more, multiple endings are on offer, so despite the relatively short four-to-six hour gameplay duration, there's plenty of replay value for completionists or those simply curious to explore every avenue of Sam's journey. But when precisely does Heartworm launch for your nostalgic trip? Here's everything you need to know.
