Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 was released today, and the new season title is Vibin’. The latest update is just plain and simple- a giant big party. The update brought notable changes to the island, including new locations like an amusement park, The new POI, and the Reality Tree, which feels like a colorful party center. One of the most fun vehicles, Ballers have made a comeback in the game. Players can now ride wild animals and find magical saplings they can grow for better loot.
