Here’s when the next Fortnite patch is dropping

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 has kicked off with a bug-themed twist, introducing players to a chaotic, insect-infested island filled with new enemies, weapons, locations, and bosses. Following the action-packed end to the Superhero-themed season, this latest chapter brings a fresh start—and there’s plenty more on the way.

As always, Epic Games is expected to roll out regular updates throughout the season, adding fresh content and keeping gameplay dynamic. If you're wondering when the next update is dropping, here’s what we know.

The next Fortnite update, version v37.10, is scheduled to arrive on August 26, 2025.

One of the major highlights of this update will be the launch of a new Festival season. While Epic hasn’t officially confirmed the headlining artist, dataminers suggest that the virtual British band Gorillaz will take center stage. Players can expect new jam tracks, a themed Festival Pass, and character skins inspired by the band’s iconic members.

Additionally, the update is likely to reveal more about the Kai Cenat Icon Series skin, which was teased during a massive reveal on the Las Vegas Sphere. More details are expected to follow shortly after the update goes live.

Another exciting feature potentially arriving in v37.10 is the long-rumored Companions system. First uncovered by leakers in a previous chapter, these pet-like sidekicks are said to follow players around the map and interact in various ways—such as being fed, petted, or even used in minigames.

While nothing is confirmed until the patch officially drops, it’s clear that Fortnite fans have a lot to look forward to in the upcoming update.
