Hey there /r/FortNiteBR,

The Nexus War continues!

The v14.60 update arrives November 18. Downtime will start at approx. 4 AM ET (09:00 UTC).

With v14.60, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 players will be able to compete in tournaments.


EDIT 12:00 AM ET: We have started deploying servers that should allow Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S players to connect to matches again. Cross platform partying will still be unavailable until 4am ET.

EDIT 9:15 PM ET: The 14.60 Xbox update (Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S) has unexpectedly deployed early. We are investigating implications and will provide updates as soon as we can.

My question is how on Earth did it happen? No offence u/gstaffEpic about it, I just genuinely want to know.

The team will do an internal post mortem to understand it. Hope to learn something for next time.
