Fortnite is gearing up for some sort of new Avengers collaboration. The two sides are working together to promote Avengers: Endgame, which hits theaters this Friday. Not much is known currently, though the image above does show Captain America’s shield.

Fortnite did celebrate Avengers: Infinity War with an event last year. When it was active, players were able to find the Infinity Gauntlet, and when equipped, allowed them to become Thanos.

Whatever Fortnite has planned, the new Avengers event will kick off on April 25.

Fortnite updated to version 8.10 today. Buried in the patch notes is an interesting tidbit about a change to matchmatching.

According to Epic, Switch and mobile pools have been combined. This is much different compared to how the game handled things previously in which Switch players were combined with Xbox One and PS4 cross-play parties. Epic says it expects “an on-average better per-game experience” for Switch as well as mobile users.

Fortnite is able to run at 60 frames per second on a few platforms, but Switch limits things to 30 FPS. Unfortunately, that’s how things will remain going forward. Speaking in a Reddit AMA, a developer at Epic Games said the following when asked about 60 FPS support on Switch: “I’m afraid that is not in the cards.”

Fortnite did support video capture on Switch for quite some time, but Epic eventually disabled the feature to improve performance. The studio doubled down on this by saying that there aren’t any plans to re-implement the functionality. On the bright side, Epic is working on server-side replays for the future.
