    Why did Fortnite updates start being 40 GB?

    Hello and welcome to our community!

    We’re excited to have you here and have great conversations! I'd be happy to be of assistance.

    I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. Based on what I know, the size of a game update usually depends on how much content is being added or changed. If it's a major update with new features, assets, or improvements, it can result in a significantly larger file size.

    The best way to get specific information about why the recent update is so large would be to reach out directly to the game developer which is Epic Games for more details about the update.

    Hoep this information helps.

    I am having trouble with Set-up Udate

    -Update- (It worked)

    I noticed in the set-up update stage it started to quicken up at around 40-50% then i felt it was going to work and it did! woohoo :D

    Which to buy, the 500gb or 1TB?

    Yes, you can add an external. Some of the games being released are upwards of 40-50 GB in size, so that 500 GB HDD can fill up pretty darn fast.

    Why are my updates on my Xbox one so much bigger than on my series x

    Ok that makes sense but I've done multiple updates already to Fortnite on the Xbox one since using it again and they have all been relatively small never more than I think 5 GB maybe a little more for the new season update but now I've got this big 33GB update so why is it only coming now
