When is the next Fortnite update? Release date for update 37.10 and what to expect
Fortnite is gearing up for the first update of its new season, promising significant bug fixes (not the type you're imagining), and a handful of fresh quests to keep players engaged.
We're currently in the midst of the bug takeover in Fortnite, and things are shaping up nicely. It's often challenging to predict how successful a season will be from its initial weeks, but with the previous season offering the Super Battle Pass and the Blitz Royale mode, it certainly has high standards to meet.
So far, we've been fortunate – the Shock 'N Awesome Battle Pass is brimming with cosmetics that players are eager to get their hands on, and the official debut of the Mighty Morpin' Power Rangers has resulted in a massive island takeover, with Tokusatsu heroes battling each other in unplanned moments of outfit coordination. It's been enjoyable so far, and although the Bug Queen may not be remembered as one of the game's better bosses, we're still having a blast.
However, change is already looming, with a new Fortnite update rapidly approaching to ensure the game is equipped with the necessary files to continue progressing. So, when is the next Fortnite update? Here's what you need to know.
When is the next Fortnite update?
The forthcoming Fortnite update is scheduled for Tuesday, 26 August at 1am PDT / 4am EDT / 9am BST. This date has been confirmed by a tweet from leaker @Hypex, and the time is an estimation based on the start times of previous server shutdowns, like for update 36.30 and the 36.20 downtime.
We can expect more downtime to accommodate this update into the game, anticipated to last between two and three hours. This will take the launch up update 37.10 to around 4am PDT / 7am EDT / 12pm BST.
What's new in the next Fortnite update?
At present, not much is known about the first update of Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4, especially as the update that came before it delivered so much new content in one fell swoop – but there are a few snippets we can glean thanks to a few leakers in the Fortnite community. Here's what we know about Fortnite update 37.10:

There's not a lot that we know about the incoming gameplay changes to the update, but this certainly indicates that Fortnite is going to become a little easier to use with a new demo and thin client to get stuck into. If you're holding out for the new Kai Cenat Icon skin, you're going to have to wait until 37.20, but maybe it'll be worth the wait if rumours of the new 'companion' cosmetic item arriving at the same time are to be believed.

Call of Duty Black Ops 7 trailer sneak peek but fans 'will be cancelling pre-order'
Call of Duty Black Ops 7 has been given a release date but the gameplay has left fans divided Call of Duty fans have been given a sneak peek of the Black Ops 7 gameplay - but some gaming enthusiasts have been left disappointed by the drop, with some even vowing to "cancel" their pre-orders. The Black Ops 7 trailer dropped during the Gamescom's Opening Night Live event on Tuesday, August 19, and revealed that the game is set in various locations, including Nicaragua, Los Angeles, and Angola. Back here in the UK, the much-anticipated game is slated for release on November 14, 2025, on PlayStation, Xbox and PC. Excitingly, though, fans can get an early taste by participating in the open beta this October. Activision has announced that the Call of Duty Black Ops 7 open beta will commence from 6pm BST UK time on Sunday, October 5, and conclude at the same time on Wednesday, October 8. Those who pre-order the game can access the beta earlier. The Black Ops 7 early access beta begins at 6pm BST UK time on Thursday, October 2. This gives pre-order customers a full 72-hours of practice before the open beta starts. Pre-order customers will also be treated to a range of bonus items for use in Black Ops and Call of Duty Warzone. However, not everyone is delighted with what they have seen so far. While the official Call of Duty X account urged tech heads to "embrace the madness" as "this is a whole new kind of mind game," not everyone was on board. One gamer brazenly replied: "I speak for ALL people that pre-ordered black ops 7 that after watching this trailer we will be cancelling the pre-order." Another user agreed, writing: "Anyone who is dumb enough to pre-order any COD game made in the last 6 years gets the garbage game they wanted". A third said: "From the last 9 COD games that have been released, why would you even preorder this c***? Black Ops 6 was free on gamepass and I wanted a refund for wasting my time on it. Surprised my PC didn't catch something from that trash a** game." But some others were quick to jump to the game's defence. Replying to the original disgruntled fan, someone said: "I speak for all people when I say don't listen to this guy. COD is back". A second challenged: "Who's we?" while a third asserted: "See you when the game comes out". Regarding the actual game, Black Ops 7 appears set to offer something rather unique compared to earlier entries. The cooperative campaign includes endgame material that allows players to join forces against "overwhelming odds". "As you push deeper into the story, you'll master new abilities to deploy in the Campaign's epic Endgame, where you'll reach new levels of power to survive overwhelming odds in a brand-new PvE experience," reads the official description. "This is the culmination of the Co-Op Campaign, where each Endgame run is a new step in the power journey as your squad is forced to adapt under pressure throughout all of Avalon." Character development from the campaign carries over to Warzone and multiplayer modes (and the reverse applies), allowing players to enhance weapons and fulfil player objectives within the story portion. For multiplayer action, Black Ops 7 debuts with 16 classic 6v6 battlegrounds available from launch. Three battlegrounds make their return from Black Ops 2, whilst the remaining 13 represent completely fresh additions to the franchise. The title also arrives with two entirely new large-scale arenas, futuristic arsenal and much more.

Xbox cloud gaming could get 'more affordable, more accessible' options, claims Microsoft rep
Xbox is looking to make its cloud gaming service more accessible to players, with a new, more affordable way to access the feature potentially on the way Xbox seems to be setting its sights on gamers who favour cloud-based play, as a spokesperson hints at a more affordable way to engage with the online game streaming system. Microsoft appears eager to transform everything into an Xbox, but they've overlooked the fact that when everything is an Xbox, nothing is. The firm's enthusiasm to offer all gamers the opportunity to play its games, regardless of their hardware, is audacious. However, speculation is rife that this could lead them to exit the hardware market entirely, even with the impending launch of the ROG Xbox Ally, as unveiled during this year's summer showcase season. It's a challenging path to tread, but credit where it's due, the company has made significant strides in accessibility. Perhaps its most underappreciated feature is its cloud gaming system. This provides Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers access to a plethora of games playable on mobiles, smart TVs and PCs via the internet, without any hardware restrictions. This even extends to recent AAA games, which are available without needing a console. It's an incredibly enticing proposition, and while it may not be the most seamless way to play, it opens up a new world for many gamers who otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity to experience many new titles. But it appears Microsoft is poised to roll out a fresh initiative to bring the feature to more gamers, as it prepares for a simpler, more user-friendly way of accessing the newest titles.

Cloud comes at a price During a recent podcast appearance, an Xbox representative has hinted that the firm might be moving towards a new service offering players cloud gaming at a more budget-friendly cost. Speaking on the official Xbox podcast, Microsoft's Next Generation VP Jason Ronald has revealed that numerous Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers utilise the service's cloud functionality, and suggested there could soon be an alternative way for gamers to access it beyond the rather pricey subscription. 'One of the things we see is there's a lot of players who use Game Pass Ultimate to access the cloud, whether that's the primary way they play, or an additional way to play on the go,' he says. 'I think for us, it really opens up the opportunity to make it much more affordable, and make it more accessible to players. Whether that's going into new regions, or new ways to actually access the cloud.' It's a fascinating proposal, particularly as Microsoft pushes to transform 'everything' into an Xbox, with cloud gaming becoming a massive component of their business approach. A more budget-friendly, easily-accessible subscription to Xbox Game Pass' cloud titles, or even a straightforward way of accessing purchased games through the online platform, would be warmly welcomed in homes that don't actually possess an Xbox console, yet remain eager to dive into the latest generation of gaming. We'll need to wait and discover what this "much more affordable" method of playing via the cloud actually entails, but whatever form it takes, it has the potential to give Xbox an even greater advantage over its cloud gaming rivals. If you're passionate about video games but don't actually own a console, it appears Microsoft could soon make your life considerably simpler.
