Content Downloads Pre-Matchmaking

Before matchmaking starts, all players in the lobby will download the content needed to play an Unreal Editor for Fortnite experience. Previously, this download would happen once the player connected to the server — but now it happens before matchmaking. This will help players load into the island faster for those with slower internet connections or for players on mobile devices.

Matchmaking will not start until all party members have downloaded the required content to play. This improves the experience for large islands because players won't be joining as late, and players won't be left in the lobby while their party members travel to the game.
