New Car Wheels
One of the new features that we will get with Fortnite update v16.20 is new wheels for vehicles. It was leaked some time ago that Epic is working on modifications for cars. On the Fortnite status account, it says "Trick out your ride with new wheels". These wheels will probably let you make better progress off the roads in Fortnite and on different surfaces.
Special Bow Duo Cup
A special duos cup was also announced. "Sharpen those bow skills and focus up for a special Duos Cup" the tweet reads.
50-player matchmaking in creative mode
Creative players will be happy to know that 50-player matchmaking will be available in Fortnite's Creative Mode with today's patch. Other than that, it looks like that's all we'll be getting in the v16.20 update.
