Fortnite update 17.20 kept the community on tenterhooks but finally arrived today after some downtime that felt longer than usual. As expected, the new update has introduced a bunch of new items, including changes in the map, new weapons, and skins.
Interestingly, one of the most intriguing elements of the update is the Rainbow Royale, which will celebrate the Fortnite LGBTQIA+ community.
