Rap artists have emerged all over the action-packed island, and it’s time for the final star to make his debut. Downtime is about to launch for V32.11 in Battle Royale, so equip your favorite skin and get ready to tear up the dance floor because the Juice WRLD concert is coming to the Fortnite stage.

Thanks to a recent announcement from @FortniteStatus X account, players are now aware that the downtime will begin at 4:00 a.m. Eastern Time and likely continue for a few hours. There’s no way to tell exactly when the servers will go live on Thursday, but it will likely be between 10:00am-12:00pm Eastern Time.

Epic Games has also taken to X to inform players that matchmaking will cease 30 minutes before the V32.11 downtime starts, so be sure to play before then if you want to get your fill of Fortnite. Here is a list of each time zone and when the downtime begins for each region.

The V32.11 update is set to bring a ton of fun content to Fortnite. A few weapons may be unarchived, but the true addition is the celebrity POI, packed upcoming concert, and the new cosmetics being added to the V-Buck Store.

New Icon emotes are released, possibly for more rap artists. As confirmed by leaks from @HYPEX on X, more Juice WRLD outfits will be introduced to the third-person shooter in the coming days, including a free and paid version. The legendary Snoop Dogg, famous Eminem and the recently popular Ice Spice are already in Fortnite, so fans have only one iconic celebrity left to look forward to during the mini-chapter.

Not only will Juice WRLD have more cosmetic themes surrounding it, but there will also likely be a new musical location on the Remix map, with a mythic item to boot. If you were looking for a fun way to spend the next few days, then this Juice WRLD theme update will be right up your alley. It’s possible we’ll also see the introduction or return of other dazzling celebrity costumes and cosmetics in the Item Shop.

Aside from Juice WRLD, Kicks will soon be made portable, and the new item type is scheduled to be available when the update officially goes live, according to a post by Epic games. The virtual grenade throwing and boat blasting won’t stop any time soon. However, Remix will end in December to make way for the long-awaited Chapter 6 and the permanent return of Chapter 1 as a Fortnite OG game mode.

Fans on X are already beaming with joy over the upcoming release of the V32.11 update. Many players who @DavidTheRuneare excited as V32.11 is the final update in Fortnite Remix, signaling that Chapter 6 is on its way in just a few short weeks.
