Highlights
Fortnite is expected to undergo a significant UI change in an upcoming game update, with leaked images suggesting a cleaner and more streamlined lobby design.
The upcoming update may feature smaller icons, a relocated Discovery menu, and a quick access functionality for Survivor Medals. While some fans express dissatisfaction with the possible new design, stating that it bears resemblance to a mobile game UI, others eagerly anticipate witnessing the update in action on either September 26 or October 10.
Dataminers have revealed that Fortnite might receive an unexpected UI change in an upcoming game update. Despite being out of early access for some time now, Fortnite continues to evolve with regular updates and patches every two weeks. The developers closely monitor the game to quickly address any errors or implement balance changes, especially during live tournaments with cash prizes.
Fortnite's Battle Royale mode, known for its immense popularity, recently celebrated its sixth anniversary on September 26, 2023, with a dedicated Birthday Event. However, the festivities will come to an end with the v26.20, the next major game update. Anticipation was already high for this patch during Chapter 4 Season 4, but it appears that its significance might surpass expectations.
Multiple credible leakers, including iFireMonkey, Shiina, and HYPEX, have suggested that Fortnite may be introducing a completely redesigned lobby UI and significant changes to the Discovery menu. While the background image of the Fortnite lobby is often updated during new events or seasons, this time it appears that a complete overhaul is on the horizon. According to HYPEX, players can anticipate these changes either with the release of v26.20 on September 26 or v26.30 on October 10.
Leaked UI images indicate that the new lobby will have a more streamlined appearance. The icons are noticeably smaller, the page selection bar has been relocated to the top left corner of the screen, the Discover menu has been shifted to the left, and players will have a convenient way to access their current Survivor Medal status in Fortnite. However, some fans have expressed dissatisfaction with the new design, as it bears a strong resemblance to a mobile game UI, despite being less cluttered.
The change might be released on October 10, and by September 26, the v26.20 update will introduce Ahsoka and her quests to Fortnite. This update will keep fans occupied, leaving less time for them to thoroughly explore and examine the UI. Fortnite is accessible on various platforms, including Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
