Fortnite Update 37.20 Delayed, Fans Left Waiting for New Content

Fortnite’s highly anticipated update 37.20, originally set for release on Tuesday, September 9, has been delayed, disrupting the game’s regular content cycle and leaving players uncertain about when the patch will actually arrive. Epic Games typically schedules updates for the early morning hours, with downtime beginning around 4 AM Eastern Time in past cycles, but this week the expected maintenance window passed without any notice of deployment. The lack of communication has fueled speculation across the community and among data miners, many of whom had predicted the update would be available by 1 AM PDT / 4 AM EDT / 9 AM BST.

The patch was expected to introduce a series of new additions, including the rumored Dino Megazord Secret Skin, the Porsche 918 Spyder, collaborations tied to Beavis and Butt-Head, teasers for a potential Daft Punk crossover, more Marvel-themed content, and even a possible bundle centered on the popular character Evie. With these anticipated features now postponed, excitement has turned to frustration as players wait for clarity on when they will actually be able to access the new content.

Some reports suggest the update could be pushed back just one day to September 10, though Epic has yet to confirm a revised schedule. The delay comes at a crucial point in Chapter 6 Season 4, which has so far followed the familiar rhythm of biweekly patches. Extending the gap between updates risks disrupting the pace of seasonal progression and leaves fans without the fresh challenges and cosmetics they have come to expect.

For now, the Fortnite community remains in limbo, eagerly watching for official word on when version 37.20 will finally go live and bring with it the next wave of skins, vehicles, and collaborations.
