How to download the Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 update

Since this is a major update, it'll automatically be applied to your copy of the game once it's rolled out by the developers. However, if you've turned auto updates off, you will have to download the update manually.

To do so, head over to the Epic Games Store on PC, (or your respective store page on console) and select Fortnite. The game should be greyed out if you don't have the recent update yet. Click on the title to get a notification about downloading and installing the new update.

There is no other way of downloading the update, nor are the files available on torrents or any external third-party sites. If you come across a link that prompts you to download the update through a third-party website, there's a high chance it is malicious.
