The compression to Fortnite’s file size on PC will leave no more than a third of its prior size. This will make the update seem abnormally large, but the result will shrink the file size of the game far more. Fortnite is also available for free on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Android right now.Īs the update note from Epic Games emphasized, PC Fortnite gamers will have to download a larger-than-normal patch before the overall file size reduction takes effect. This frees up plenty of space for other games on the Epic Games Store, especially the freebies that continue to pour out. Fortnite was upwards of 100GB before a recent update that shrank the battle royale game to a measly 27GB.
Fans of Epic Games’ free-to-play battle royale Fortnite on PC will be delighted to know that the game has been compressed to a far more minuscule size than it was previously.
