This is not as big as the last one, and it is mostly an improvement of what they missed with 12.50. The 12.50 update revolutionized a lot of things.

This update will check in on the SBMM issue as well as give an updated playlist for squads. Other than that, it’s pretty minor.

He is quite dependable when it comes to providing proper information. We also learned that the devs have fixed most of the Party ROyale bugs. However, the promise of bigger changes is not far away. Fortnite will feature @DillonFrancis, @deadmau5, and @SteveAoki. Party Royale premiere party will be on Friday, May 8 at 9 PM ET.
