## What’s New: Physics-Based Donuts

The headline feature in v38.10 is the addition of interactive **Donuts** to the Springfield map. These physics-based objects can be pushed, causing them to roll across terrain and into opponents, dealing impact damage on collision.

This mechanic adds strategic depth, especially in **Zero Build mode** where players can’t construct defensive barriers. Expect chaotic gameplay as giant pink-frosted donuts become the island’s most unexpected weapon.

## The Simpsons Takeover Continues

This update builds on the massive [Simpsons collaboration](https://www.fortnite.com/news/the-simpsons-x-fortnite) that launched November 1, 2025. The month-long event has already delivered:

- **Springfield Island**: An 80-player cel-shaded map featuring Moe’s Tavern, Kwik-E-Mart, and the Nuclear Power Plant
- **Battle Pass Skins**: Homer, Marge (with Witch Marge variant), and Ned Flanders (featuring “Stupid Sexy Flanders”)
- **Exclusive Weapons**: Mr. Blasty revolver with balloon attachments
- **Disney+ Animated Shorts**: Four weekly episodes revealing story progression (“Armageddon D’oh,” “Sugar High,” “Multiplidiocy,” “The Incredible Bulk”)

The collaboration represents one of Fortnite’s biggest crossovers in 2025, bringing new and returning players back to the game in record numbers.

## How to Prepare for the Update

While servers are offline, you can’t play, but here’s what to do:

1. **Pre-download the update** if your platform supports it (consoles usually auto-update)
2. **Check your storage space** – major content updates typically require 5-10GB
3. **Review the Battle Pass** to plan which rewards to unlock this week
4. **Watch the animated shorts** on [Disney+](https://www.disneyplus.com/explore/articles/fortnite-the-simpsons-collaboration) to catch story hints

## FAQs

### **Q: Will my progress save during the downtime?**

Yes! All your Battle Pass progress, V-Bucks, skins, and stats are saved server-side. Downtime only affects your ability to play temporarily—nothing gets reset or lost during maintenance windows.

### **Q: Can I still complete daily quests during downtime?**

No, daily and weekly quests require active server connection. However, any quests you completed before downtime started are automatically saved. Epic often extends quest deadlines slightly to compensate for extended maintenance periods.
