With one week left to go, the Fortnite 17.10 update is not too far away. According to the leakers, the new patch is already on the staging servers and Epic Games is testing it to ensure it works without a glitch.

By the looks of it, the developers will be going for a bi-monthly update in Fortnite Season 7. This shouldn't come as a surprise given how for the entirety of last season, major updates occurred every two weeks.

Xbox issues

Apparently, several Xbox users are facing a weird bug that has not been listed alongside others in the Fortnite 17.10 update. According to numerous Tweets, Xbox users are being kicked out of the party after leaving the game, which is not normal.

Does anyone else have the issue where after backing out of a match after winning, dying, lagging out, etc. It kicks you from whoever’s party you where in. This happens to me nearly every time. It would be nice to know if it’s happening to others too.
