Fortnite News

The same Battle Royale news tiles as the in-game lobby, plus a short FortniteTools note that points at the map, shop, weapons, or countdown — not a copy of Epic's patch blog.

FAQ

Where does this Fortnite news come from?

The tiles are the same Battle Royale (and Save the World) messages Epic puts in the lobby. We load them from Fortnite-API’s public news endpoint and add notes that point at our map, shop, weapons, and countdown tools — not a rewrite of Epic’s patch notes.

How often does the Fortnite news tab update?

Whenever Epic swaps lobby MOTDs — often around a content drop, collab, or season countdown. This page revalidates about every 10 minutes. The date under the heading is Epic’s last news payload, not our last site deploy.

Is lobby news the same as a patch blog?

No. MOTDs are short in-game ads for modes, cosmetics, and seasonal hooks. Full balance changes still live on Epic’s blog and in our weapon-change tracker when we have numbers.
