The countdown continues its relentless "ticking", just days before the event entitled The Device — celebrating the end of the current season in Fortnite. Delayed by a full week, this in-game rendezvous attracts a lot of attention, especially since past events have been real successes.
Yanteh has very recently drawn the community's attention to the patch size for the upcoming event this Saturday. The Device will weigh in at about about 200 MB, while the Travis Scott concert was around150 MB.
Bringing together more than 27 million unique spectators in the game, Travis Scott's concert was hailed by players and outside observers as one of the most innovative video gaming events in the world. This weekend's event will be even more spectacular and richer on paper. There's no guarantee that The Device will be artistically a success, but the numbers make it clear: it will be huge!
Some leakers and gaming experts are even exhibiting their wildest dreams that the upcoming event will take place under Unreal Engine 5, the graphics engine developed by Epic Games, originally planned for the 9th generation of consoles. A highly unprobable thesis, even if Epic Games are regulars of the most surprising moves.
The publisher has recently gone upscale on the cinematic and live events side. Close the hatches, and get ready for Saturday!

Spoiler alert: the Agency may well be partially destroyed during the in-game event entitled The Device. Dataminers have got their hands on files pointing in that direction.
