Downloaded Fortnite yesterday, 23 gb. Today I woke up, tried to open it, and its "updating" with a 23 gb update and Fortnite isnt even in my apps. It still took up the original disk space, and tried to "update" it with 23 gb I should add. I may be crazy but I dont think Fortnite takes up 46 gb.

Hey /u/SnooSquirrels6693 , what platform are you on?

There was a large PC update today with the 15.10 game update that may be accounting for that download size.

PC, I didnt hear anything of this update, is it really that large? It was downloading as slow as it took to download the game originally, (Both times I was downloading at 15 mb/s)

We generally announce new updates the evening before they go out here on Reddit and on our @FortniteStatus twitter, where you can see general issues we're aware of about the game and our progress towards fixing them.

This update was larger than usual on PC for existing installs due to the newly added Performance Mode.
