close background apps

When you run an update, Fortnite unzips your files while continuing to download. So, to speed up this process, you need to make sure that your processor is not overloaded with tasks.

To do this, go to the task manager and close all apps that are running in the background and that are not useful to you while downloading the update.
Free up space on your SSD/HDD

Running out of space on the component that stores Fortnite can cause additional delays in download speed.

So make sure you free up space on your storage type by deleting games or files that often have nothing left.

PS4/5

1. Pause and resume download: It may seem strange, but sometimes it speeds up downloads.
2. Changing your DNS settings: Changing your DNS settings to Google's public DNS would have helped many gamers speed up their downloads. Go to network settings, “Configure Internet connection”. Manually choose your DNS and enter the following parameters: Primary DNS 8.8.8.8, Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4
3. Sleep Mode: This is a trick that seems to work for many, you just need to put your console in sleep mode. To do this, go to the power management settings and set the features available in sleep mode, then enable automatic downloads on the system. Now activate sleep mode and come back later, hoping the download is complete.

Xbox One / Series

1. Close all open games and applications: To increase your download speed, you must close all open applications and games.
2. Avoid downloading the update as soon as it's released: You just need to avoid downloading your update at the same time as everyone else once it's released, the more people downloading the update at the same time, the more time it will take.
3. Change DNS Settings: As in PlayStation, changing DNS settings may increase download speed. Go to network settings, Network tab -> Network Settings -> Advanced Settings -> DNS Settings -> Manual, then like PS4, Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8, Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4
