A Countdown Timer Appears in Fortnite’s Nintendo Switch Edition
A countdown timer has suddenly appeared on televisions within Fortnite’s Nintendo Switch edition. This surprising addition seems to be ticking down to zero, with the countdown set to end on June 19. Interestingly, the timer is not present in the game’s other versions, including PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and mobile.
Players have taken notice of this timer, which made its debut in-game today. However, there is no indication as to what it might be teasing or revealing.
It’s peculiar that this countdown timer is exclusively featured in the Switch version. There are no signs of a timer in the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, or mobile editions of Fortnite. While it would be intriguing if the timer held the promise of resolving the PlayStation 4 account issue, it is highly unlikely.
Additionally, the lair is showcasing a hologram that appears to tease an upcoming rocket launch.

Based on the loading screen shown after completing all seven blockbuster challenges, it is reasonable to assume that this countdown timer is related to a rocket launch. It is possible that the Switch version received an update earlier than the other platforms, or it could be counting down to exclusive Switch content.
What do these new additions in the Switch version mean? As more details emerge about this phenomena, we will keep you informed.
