Epic Games\u2019 Fortnite battle royale became the most popular game around thanks to the devs\u2019 constant updates, which helped make the game feel fresh every few weeks. In recent seasons, those updates have become few and far between. The devs have still been rolling them out, but the short seasons of Fortnite Chapter 1 have been replaced by longer dry spells in Fortnite Chapter 2.
