iOS (Legacy Players):
•Cloud Streaming: Since direct updates for Fortnite on iOS devices aren't available due to Epic's removal from the App Store, iOS players can use cloud gaming services where Fortnite is available to play updated versions.
Additional Notes
•Auto-Update: Many platforms have an auto-update feature for games. Ensure this is enabled for Fortnite to avoid manual checks every time.
•Server Downtime: Epic Games often schedules maintenance that requires all players to update to the latest version before servers come back online. Keep an eye on Fortnite's official communications for scheduled downtimes.
•Connectivity Issues: If you're having trouble updating, try restarting your device, checking your network settings, or using a wired connection for PC updates if possible.
•Cross-Platform Updates: Remember, cross-progression works across platforms, so even if you update on one device, your progress will be saved when you log in on another after it's updated.
