The new Fortnite v.13.40 update, or the ‘Joy Ride’ update, was met with fans’ open arms. It brought the promised cars to the map, which happened after quite a few delays and accusations. However, once the update was here, the Fortnite map was immediately filled with growling car engines as players went around trying them out.
As it appears, cars are everywhere on the map, and are easy to refuel and drive. They have added a much-needed new element to the game after months of criticism and frustration.
Notable content creators had accused Epic Games of releasing ‘clickbait’ updates, while certain other issues were also discussed. Regardless, Fortnite’s developers will hope that the cars update will make it easier for players to forget about those issues.
