Another week has passed and now we're heading into week 8 of Fortnite's Season 5.
Chapter 2 Season 5 has experienced one of the best season releases in quite some time, but the lack of content since release has steered fans away in some regards.
Now, we had just experienced a brand new patch last week in V15.20; and players are patiently awaiting the release of the next patch.
Before we get to V15.30, there appears to be a mini-patch on the way; with some minor fixes.
Here's everything you need to know!

General Top Issues
- When playing Fortnite, players cannot create system-level parties that include players on both PS5 and PS4.
- The Jumpshot Outfit is missing its facial hair.
