Players have had several occasions in the five years since Fortnite Battle Royale’s release where they believed it was going to end. A single update completely altered the game. The game would never have gone off the rails the way it did without this update.
In a recent video, well-known YouTuber SypherPK reviewed all of the most significant updates to the Battle Royale game that have ever been made. Winterfest 2019, Thanos LTM, the Marvel Avengers crossover, and vending machines were among the items on the list. There was one update among all these significant ones that completely altered the game.
SypherPK thinks that update v1.6.3 prevented the early demise of Epic Games’ Battle Royale. Everything a newly released game required to gain popularity was in the update and thinks the game was actually “playable” after the crucial update.
Epic Games recently commemorated the five-year anniversary of the release of its Battle Royale game. Update v21.30 was made available by Epic Games before their employees took a break. While some of these updates were merely bug fixes and graphical improvements, others fundamentally altered how the game was played.
Fortnite’s update v1.6.3 is largely responsible for its success. This update was absolutely necessary for the game to outperform its rivals for a number of reasons. Prior to this, the majority of players were addicted to games like PUBG and H1Z1. Clearly, there was fierce competition for Epic Games’ brand-new title.
The game cost $25, which discouraged many players from participating. Players had to buy both Save The World and the Battle Royale mode when they were released. Along with the difficulty of the game’s aiming and shooting compared to others like PUBG and H1Z1, many well-known streamers and professional players avoided it.
Fortunately, Epic Games quickly rolled out changes to improve its recently released game after realizing its flaws. Update v1.6.3 improved the accuracy of the weapons and removed bloom while firing.
In comparison to floor loot, higher-tier weapons would be more accurate. Additionally, the update made Fortnite accessible to all players and many streamers worldwide. Some of the significant changes included in patch 1.6.3 are mentioned by SypherPK.
Popular Twitch icon Ninja claimed that the game was all bloom and needed an accuracy buff before she moved on to Epic Games’ Battle Royale. Therefore, all the big names were interested in playing the game when update v1.6.3 improved shooting accuracy with ADS, recoil control, and crouching.
Evidently, SypherPK is aware of the precise factors that caused Fortnite to take off and how to update v1.6.3 contributed to this development. Millions of players would undoubtedly be captivated by a free Battle Royale game with appealing visuals, an engaging plot, and fluid gameplay.
