Fortnite 11.31 Patch Notes – Detailed Unofficial Update Information


These are the unofficial Fortnite 11.31 Patch Notes! Epic has been less consistent about posting update info, so we've been compiling everything we know about the patches. We have some bug fix information, and will be posting whatever else has been added to the game. We will replace these with the official patch notes if they are posted.

Patch Release Date & Time

The Fortnite 11.31 Patch was released on December 18th, 2019. There will be downtime at 4 AM ET (0900 UTC) that usually goes on for an hour or two.

Official Patch Notes

v11.31 is live for Battle Royale and includes the following changes:
  • Introducing Battle Lab:
    • Jump into your own Battle Royale island and set the rules! Select from favorite LTM loot pools, set up combat scenarios with the new Bot Grenades, and create your own mode by setting options like gravity and fall damage.
    • Fill your game with up to 15 friends on your own island, or matchmake with default options in a public Battle Lab.
  • New home for Playground:
    • Looking for Playground? We’ve incorporated Playground under Creative. Play Creative maps with others by queuing for Creative and choosing “Play” instead of “Create.”
We have temporarily disabled the DirectX 12 beta. Thank you for participating — we've gained valuable information. We're going to make some improvements and re-open the doors in early 2020.
