If there is anything else that you would like to add, let us know in the comments section below!


When does Fortnite Season 5 start?
Fortnite Season 5 will launch at 8am on July 12th. This isn't a rumour, this confirmed by Epic Games community coordinator Sean Hamilton on Reddit. He also revealed that there will be +100% match XP weekend happening from today. Here's what he said:

Season 4 is coming to an end! We want to give you a heads up on the exact ending time. You may have seen the timer update in-game, which means we are giving you two more days to complete Season 4! Season 5 will begin on July 12th at 4 AM EDT (08:00 GMT).

Want even more help earning those last few Battle Pass rewards? We'll be running a +100% match XP weekend starting June 29th at 4AM EDT (08:00 GMT) and ending on July 2nd at 3AM EDT (07:00 GMT). Hop in, catch up on challenges, and earn those Season 4 rewards while you can!

How much does the Fortnite Season 5 Battle Pass cost?
Fortnite Battle Passes have stuck to the 950 V-Bucks price point, so expect something similar unless Epic Games is planning to change how they work and what they offer in Fortnite Season 5. 950 V-Bucks roughly translates to $9.50, but because the smallest V-Bucks bundle is $10, you'll need to drop an extra 50 cents unless you saved up during Season 4.

What will happen to the map in Fortnite Season 5?
There appears to be a countdown timer in the supervillain base, along with various rumours that a huge missile is going to launch as well.

It all started with reports that a countdown timer in the Nintendo Switch version of Fortnite was being broadcast across TV screens. Now that's appeared in the PC and PS4 versions of the game, with the timer suggesting that something calamitous is about to happen soon.

If Season 4 kicked off with a massive meteor strike, then we wouldn't be surprised if Season 5 opened with a big missile strike that altered some other locations around the map which aren't quite as popular as the rest.

How long will Fortnite Season 5 last?
Season's usually last a total of 10 weeks, so it's likely that Season 5 will come to an end sometime in mid September.
