The update will arrive at the usual time of 1 am PST / 4 am EST / 9 am BST and will be the summer update for Fortnite which will set it up for Epic Games’ break as reported by Fortnite insider ShiinaBR.

This company-wide summer break over a two-week period that starts on Monday, 25th July 2022 and ends on Monday, 8th August 2022 with no major updates expected during that time.

This means that the 21.30 update will likely be the last update until after this break is finished, likely close to the reported Fortnite and Dragon Ball crossover is expected to take place.
