A brand new update for Fortnite will be deployed on August 16, bringing the game to v21.40 across all supported platforms.

Today's update comes after a month of no major content updates, due to the developers taking some much-needed time off for the summer. But, Epic Games are back with a bang as the August 16 Fortnite update is set to include the highly anticipated Dragon Ball collaboration. Epic's recent tease for the crossover has become their most liked tweet in history, showing just how excited fans are to get their hands on some Dragon Ball skins and cosmetics.

According to ShiinaBR, the Fortnite x Dragon Ball collaboration won't just be new skins and cosmetics, there will also be seven weeks of exclusive challenges. These limited-time quests will likely give players the opportunity to get their hands on some brand new cosmetic items and rewards themed around the popular anime series, Dragon Ball.

AVAST AT LAST: LAUNCH YOURSELF AT LAZY LAGOON

The Reality Tree has transformed The Daily Bugle into Lazy Lagoon! Show off your sea legs in this remix of a classic POI.

Lazy Lagoon’s return also means the return of Pirate Cannons, so gather a crew of two or heave ho solo. If you have all hands on deck (you and a teammate), one player can steer this swashbuckling vehicle while the other player braces in the barrel. The player in the barrel can control the barrel’s direction then launch themselves at any time. Aim where you see a faraway coffer or safety from a pillage.

What if you’re buccaneering by yourself? If you’re steering the Pirate Cannon, you can launch an endless amount of cannonballs (with a cooldown between each shot). Alternatively, you can enter the barrel and launch yourself farrr (sorry).

90 FPS ON COMPATIBLE ANDROID DEVICES

Some Android devices now have access to running Fortnite at 90 FPS. If your device is compatible, you will find this option available in the settings within the Video tab (the default tab when opening the settings). If your device does not have this option available, this means it does not meet the technical requirements.

Please note that toggling this option on may drain the power of your device and/or increase the heat output. When this happens, the FPS will be reduced.

Players whose device previously had 90 FPS available will find the option has been re-enabled on their device.
