The experience has been ‘hand-tuned for each console to provide an extra-smooth gaming experience while maintaining visual fidelity.” On top of that, the Hand Canon will now be available in both Save the World and Battle Royale. This should make things very interesting. Oh, and let’s not forget the hoverboard that has been added to Saving the World.

Of course, the Season 3 update for Fortnite also includes a ton of different fixes and improvements. One of the more elaborate ones is a whole new orchestral score for Save the World mode, and remixed music for Battle Royale Login, Launch, and Lobby sections.
