Now that’s a beach body.
Fortnite is trimming the fat this week with a patch that aims at cutting the game’s install size considerably. The PC version is receiving a much needed optimization update that will see the game reduced to a manageable 31 gigabytes in size.
This is from the roughly 90 gigabytes the game currently exceeds. Fortnite has slowly ballooned in size over the past couple of years but today’s update should reduce load times and improve performance.
Please note the patch size will be larger than normal on PC (approx. 27 GB). This is to make optimizations on PC resulting in a massively reduced Fortnite file size (over 60 GB smaller), smaller downloads for future patches, and improved loading performance.
