Update 18.30 for Fortnite arrives as the third update in as many weeks.

A brief update landed last week to initiate the 'Wrath of the Cube Queen', which is the main attraction for the Fortnitemares 2021 event. This include wild new NPCs, monsters, skins, quests, rewards and even returning weapons.

So what does this new update do and what can we expect? Here are the patch notes for update 18.30.

Patch 18.21 is going to release on the 26th October 2021.

The update should arrive at its usual 4AM ET/9AM BST.

• PS5 - 3GB
• Xbox One - 3.03GB
• Xbox Series X/S - 3.2GB
• PC - 2GB

As it's a more significant update, we can expect the sizes to be slightly bigger. Usually, an update like this can range anywhere between 1-5GB (depending on your platform).
