How big is the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 update?

The Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 update is bigger than usual because Epic Games will be adding many assets to the game, including several map changes and new skins and characters. Most of these assets will go live over the course of the season, while some will be saved for future seasons under this chapter.

Players should note that the update size will differ across platforms and systems, depending upon the additional files that may need to be downloaded. That said, the difference in download size shouldn't be too much.

Here is the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 update size across all platforms:

• PS4 - 16.08 GB
• PS5 - 22.30 GB
• XBOX SERIES - 24.75 GB
• XBOX ONE - 18.63 GB
• PC - 25.90 GB

The servers are down for now because maintenance is still underway. However, the patches are live across all platforms and can be downloaded.

Once the maintenance is complete and Epic Games brings the servers back online, players will be able to log in and experience everything new that Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 has in store for them.

Overall, this season looks to be interesting, with a lot of new things in store for everyone, such as some popular characters making an appearance. What's more interesting is that the Peter Griffin skin has finally become a reality. It was spotted in the game files around three years ago when everyone dismissed it as a rumor.

However, with the new Chapter 5 Season 1 update today, that rumor will finally be turning into reality.
