Despite being unexpectedly delayed, players continued to eagerly wait for the release of Fortnite patch v37.20. Even though the last Fortnite update was a mere two weeks ago, it did not add much content to the Battle Royale game modes. Fortnite Festival and Ballistic were the main focus of v37.10, so players, especially those who don't play these modes, kept waiting for the next scheduled update.

Players interested in getting a first look at Kai Cenat before the skin hits the Item Shop on September 12 should keep an eye on cosmetic leaks during downtime.
