- Fortnite's August 26 update is the first major update for the ongoing Chapter 6 Season 4.
- The update v37.10 brings Festival Season 10 headlines by Gorillaz.
- New gameplay items and skin collabs are added to the files.
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 transformed the island into a bug-infested warzone as players were forced into a war against swarms of insects, with new POIs and weapons at their disposal. The season’s Power Rangers collab and Halo-themed Battle Pass skins were quite exciting add-ons; however, some have expressed their frustrations with the lack of scoped weapons.
In the past week, Epic made some major changes to the loot pool, eventually vaulting Queen Bug Medallions and several items like the Shockwave Launcher to keep gameplay balanced. Now, the v37.10 update, the season’s first major patch, improves the experience even further. Want to know what’s in store? Read on the full patch notes to see what’s arrived.

Fortnite Update Today Full Patch Notes
One Punch Man Collab Arrives
The widely anticipated Fortnite x One Punch Man collab will launch on August 27, bringing renowned anime characters to the Battle Royale. Saitama, Genos, and Tatsumaki are the confirmed skins, each with their own cosmetics.
Saitama has two styles, a back bling, a pickaxe, two emotes, a glider, a wrap, and drumsticks. Genos has a glow version, back bling, pickaxe, and a built-in emote. Tatsumaki comes with a skin, back bling, pickaxe, emote, and microphone item. Skins are likely to cost 1,500 V-Bucks per, with a discount for bundles. This collab will release with a shop update at 8 PM EDT.
Furthermore, a new Saitama Medallion has been added to the game, which players can get by claiming a Capture Point on the island. Once you have the medallion, you can eliminate enemies with your pickaxe in a single shot. So much for One Shot, or rather One Punch. Right?
Gorillaz Headline Fortnite Festival Season 10
Fortnite Festival Season 10 launches today, featuring an electric Gorillaz collab, with playable skins of the virtual band’s prominent members — Noodle, 2D, Russel Hobbs, and Murdoc Niccals.
Russel and Murdoc are unlocked through the Music Pass (1,400 V-Bucks), with Russel available immediately and Murdoc as the final reward. The Item Shop brings Noodle and 2D skins, as well as themed cosmetics like the DARE emote and Clint Eastwood Jam Track. The season features a Gorillaz-themed Main Stage, new Jam Tracks like “On Melancholy Hill,” and gameplay enhancements.
Squid Game’s Frontman Makes An Entrance
The Fortnite x Squid Game collab, unveiled at Gamescom 2025, introduces the highly anticipated Front Man skin, which depicts the evil overlord of the Netflix series. This skin, which features the Front Man’s distinctive black mask and coat, includes a Dagger pickaxe, Loot Piggy back bling, and the Mingle Game Dance emote.
It will be available in the Fortnite Item Shop beginning tonight at 8 PM EDT, for around 1,500 V-Bucks individually or 2,000 V-Bucks in a bundle. Players may buy it directly with V-Bucks, joining other Squid Game cosmetics in this crossover event.
New Gameplay Items
Fortnite update 37.10 brings new gameplay items. First up is the Roly Poly, a bug-inspired mount that enables players to roll and bounce throughout the map while also providing a charging speed burst for dynamic movement.
Next up is the Hammerhead Choppa, a novel vehicle that can hover in mid-air, and players can switch seats to control a powerful cannon. Finally, the Exotic Shockwave Launcher launches grenades that slow enemies and allies mid-air and comes as a replacement for the vaulted Shockwave Launcher. Two more exotics have been added to the loot pool.
Furthermore, players can also get the Precision Airstrike from the loot pool, which will allow them to target an area and call a series of bomb strikes to completely demolish buildings or structures.
Blitz Update, Battle Pass Super Styles and Future Leaks
The new patch also brings new content across multiple modes and adds several upcoming content to the game files. The Blitz Royale mode gets an “Asteria Awakened” update, which improves the fast-paced 32-player Battle Royale with new gameplay twists, unique weaponry, and power-ups in a tight map ideal for rapid matches.
Next up, Battle Pass Super Styles are now unlocked, and players can finally see the skins they can unlock once they pass level 100 in their Shock ‘N Awesome pass.
In Fortnite OG, a strange red cube, unlike the iconic “Kevin,” has appeared near Paradise Palms, setting the atmosphere for an epic finale inbound next month. Players can shoot the cube to rift themselves in the air or to another location.
Leaks have also revealed a Jason Voorhees Medallion, confirming the iconic villain will make its way to Fortnitemares 2025.
Beavis and Butt Head Collab and New Skins
One of the major collabs leaked with this update is Beavis and Butt Head who will soon make their way to the Fortnite Item Shop. Leaked cosmetics include skins for both characters, back blings, pickaxes, emotes, and a wrap that players will be able to get in a bundle.
Furthermore, a new cosmetic item, which is a TV that plays a Metallica concert, will also be added when the collab goes live.
The update also brings multiple skin leaks which will be released in the Item Shop in coming weeks, plus a free skin that mobile players will be able to claim this week onwards.
New Ballistic Update
Alongside core BR mode and Festival, Ballistic also gets a long-awaited update as Epic has finally added the complete Hammer Fall map and new weapons to the mix. Players will also be able to refund their weapons and auto-surrender in case of any issues during the match.
