What's new this season
Bring Your Squad Back From the Brink
All hope is not lost when a teammate goes down! When they fall, they leave behind a Reboot Card. Pick it up, take it to a Reboot Van, and bring them back into the fight for a better shot at victory.
Rarer Color, Better Weapons!
Weapons come in five rarities: Gray (Common), Green (Uncommon), Blue (Rare), Purple (Epic), and Orange (Legendary). Higher rarity means better stats, so open Chests and swap out weapons when finding something better!

Fortnite season questions
When does the current Fortnite season end?
The end date shown above comes from Epic's own live content service, so it moves when Epic moves it. Epic has delayed a season end more than once — usually to extend an event — so treat the date as the current plan rather than a promise, and check back near the end of the season.
How long is a Fortnite season?
Most recent seasons have run roughly two to three months. Epic doesn't commit to a fixed length, and chapter-ending seasons in particular have been stretched to line up with a live event, so the only reliable number for the current season is the end date Epic is publishing right now.
What happens when a Fortnite season ends?
The Battle Pass closes and its remaining rewards stop being claimable, ranked resets, and the map and loot pool usually change with the new season. Cosmetics you already unlocked stay in your locker permanently — ending a season never removes items from an account.
Do I lose my Battle Pass rewards when the season ends?
You keep everything you actually unlocked. What you lose is the chance to unlock the rest: once the season closes, the tiers you didn't reach are gone, and Epic has never returned an exclusive Battle Pass item to the item shop afterwards.
When does the next Fortnite season start?
In practice the next season begins when the current one ends, usually after a short downtime for the update — often a few hours, occasionally longer when a chapter changes. We don't publish a start time for the next season until Epic's own service exposes one.
What chapter and season is Fortnite in right now?
The chapter and season shown at the top of this page are read directly from Epic's live service on every rebuild, so they change as soon as Epic flips them rather than when someone updates a page by hand.
