Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 launch: our coverage of the new season's release day as it happened

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 is out now. The game is back online, as downtime came to an end early. The last season just concluded with an epic Star Wars live event, which then showed Superman as the theme for the new season.

Epic Games has been busy teasing the next season of Fortnite over the last week or so, and now we've finally got the full details on Fortnite Super. There;s a whole host of Hero Items to try out, as well as new locations to visit on the map.

Personally, I really enjoyed Fortnite Galactic Battle, with the blaster-only weapon pool being a refreshing change from the norm.Things have changed significantly with the new update, as regular guns and ammo are back in the loot pool. In my opinion, the recent changes have absolutely been good enough to keep Fortnite in TechRadar's best free games list.

Here's TechRadar's coverage of the launch of Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, including info on Fortnite Super. Now that it's live, you can check out how we reacted to the update as it happened.
