If you've been looking forward to checking out the latest update for Fortnite on Xbox, you may be disappointed to hear that it clocks in at a whopping 80GB - which Epic Games has now acknowledged as an Xbox-specific issue.
In a message on social media earlier today, the team recommended that "players begin the installation process ahead of play time" while they try and figure out what went wrong here. Here's a look at the Twitter (or "X") post:
We've seen this sort of thing before - on rare occasions, games such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Watch Dogs: Legion have suffered with significantly larger update sizes on Xbox than PlayStation. For whatever reason, the same situation has happened in this case - Fortnite's latest update is only around 8GB on PS4 and PS5.
Fingers crossed Epic Games will be able to rectify this issue relatively quickly, but if you're desperate to start playing as quickly as possible, it might be worth starting that download right away - it's larger than many AAA games!
