The crossover mayhem of Fortnite continues in Chapter 5 Season 3 with Fallout and Mad Max making their way into the brightly colored battle royale world. Epic Games has already warned players that this will be a bigger update to download than usual. So how big? I went ahead and checked all the download sizes for your convenience.
How big is the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 update?
- PlayStation 5: 45 GB
- Computer: 47 GB
- Xbox: 40 GB
The numbers above come courtesy of yours truly, and some leakers on X (formerly known as Twitter) who were able to check the file sizes on various platforms. For reference, this is almost twice as much as previous Fortnite updates, such as Chapter 5 Season 1 and Chapter 5 Season 2
Increased file size suggests more changes coming to the game than usual. Given that we already know about the crossover, I’d predict that we’ll see a desert-like or post-apocalyptic biome on the map, some monster trucks and other cool vehicles as previously hinted at, and some new weapons to match the crossovers.
We’ll also undoubtedly see a bunch of new cosmetics to fill out the Battle Pass, but also celebrate Fallout and Mad Max entering the Fortnite world. The Fallout Power Armor has already been confirmed as part of the Battle Pass and is not exclusive to the Item Shop.
Fortnite leakers also revealed that the new season will also apparently have a “swinging” mechanic and “GYMs”. Are we talking Pokemon style gyms here? Will there be certain bosses in each gym that will reward you with a mythical item, similar to Hades and Zeus from Chapter 5 Season 2? We will soon find out.
Be sure to keep checking back with Pro Game Guides as we cover the entirety of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 all over today.
