Fortnite Launches v39.20 With South Park 'Born in Chaos' and Five-Player Squads

The limited-time update brings storm-control and auto-respawn items, a Cartmanland map location, and a free 13-item pass running through February 5.

Overview

  • Epic began scheduled maintenance for v39.20 at 4 a.m. ET with matchmaking disabled 30 minutes earlier, targeting roughly two hours of downtime, and the patch appears as 1.000.028 on consoles.
  • South Park: Born in Chaos introduces the one-use Stick of Truth to reposition the storm, Cheesy Poofs for fast healing or throwable support, and Kenny’s Respawn Token for automatic revival.
  • Cartmanland is now a point of interest on the island, featuring rideable attractions themed to Cartman’s personal theme park.
  • A free Born in Chaos pass offers 13 unlockable cosmetics via South Park quests, while character outfits for Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, and Butters arrive in the Item Shop.
  • The new Quints playlist enables five-player squads during the event window from January 9 to February 5, as community datamines circulate unconfirmed extras and pricing details.
