The start date of the highly anticipated High Stakes event has been moved to Thursday Sep. 6.
Fortnite: Battle Royale developer Epic Games announced on Twitter earlier today that a problem was detected prior to the release of the v5.40 update. The developer found a “critical controller issue,” causing a roll back of the High Stakes event for two more days.
