And with the Fortnite update 7.30 comes a host of yet to be revealed Fortnite skins. While Epic Games is yet to divulge all Fortnite skins found in the 7.30 that hasn't stopped dataminers from discovering what you can expect from the battle royale game in the weeks to come aside from 60Hz on select Android models, controller support for both Android and iOS, and a slew of Nintendo Switch fixes that should lead to a less crash-prone game.
