There’s nothing more exciting than a new Fortnite season, which always brings huge updates and major changes to the game. If you want to know when the next one will start, we have the release date for Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 4.
Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 3 has been controversial, to say the least, and I personally believe that the vehicles included in Season 3: Wrecked have made it the least fun Fortnite season ever. The Mad Max-esque theme has seen players spend all their time in cars running players over, which is not enjoyable.
That’s why I’m already counting down the days to Season 4, and I just can’t wait for it to launch. Here’s what we know about its release date.
When does Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 3 end?
Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 3 officially ends on Friday, August 16, 2024. We know this thanks to the in-game Battle Pass, which has a countdown timer to tell players how long they have left to level up and unlock all the cosmetic items.
Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 4 release date
With that in mind, we know that Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 4 will start also start on Friday, August 16, 2024.
The game will go into downtime at around 4 am ET / 1 am PT / 9am BST, which will last a couple of hours. During this time, Epic will be working on adding the new features to the game while players download the update. The servers will then come back online, and players can jump into matches.
Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 4 release time and countdown
While we don’t always get an exact release time from Epic, new patches almost always go live at 9am ET / 6am PT / 2pm BST. If you want to know how long you have to wait, we’ve created the countdown below.
Are there any Fortnite Season 4 leaks?
At the moment, there aren’t any Fortnite Season 4 leaks, but we’ll be sure to update this article as they become available.
Can you buy levels to catch up on the battle pass?
If you haven’t played much, or feel like you won’t have time in Chapter 5, Season 3, you can buy your way out if you’re desperate and want to get this season’s rewards. It may be costly, however. Each level costs 150 V Bucks. In my opinion, it’s not worth it, but if you’re really close to getting the character you want, it’s certainly an option. Nevertheless, Fortnite‘s one of the best live-service games out there right now.
