What's Coming in Fortnite v31.30
The new update is not the highly anticipated Fortnitemares patch. Still, it brings several long-awaited cosmetics and likely more details from dataminers about what to expect for the annual Halloween celebration. Confirmed cosmetics for the update include:
- New ICON Skin
- Sleep Mode
- Bird Call Emote
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in Fortnite Creative
- More info on Saw collab
Sleep mode has largely flown under the radar, but is a nice little quality of life update for the game. When someone is inactive for 15 minutes, the game will enter Sleep Mode, disabling voice chat and canceling any matchmaking queues. Players can adjust the timer for sleep mode by doing the following:
- Go to settings
- Select "Game"
- Select "Sleep Mode & Energy Saving"
- Adjust the timer to the desired amount
