Fortnite Winterfest 2025: Start date speculation and Harry Potter rumours explained
‘Tis the season, which means that in short order, we’ll be dashing through the snow in Fortnite Winterfest 2025, and we’ve got all the start date speculation you can shake a wand at, as well as the Harry Potter rumours explained! What’s more, there are video clips that point to there being more snow on the map! Unimaginable, really… But speaking of snow, one winter-themed Hatsune Miku could also be making an appearance if leaks are anything to go by. What we do know for certain is that Winterfest 2025 will be part of Chapter 7 Season 1, which features many famous faces from Hollywood, and even a Kill Bill chapter of all things. But if we harp on and on, we might end up on Santa’s naughty list, so let’s get straight to it! Read on for some Fortnite Winterfest 2025 release date speculation! When is Fortnite Winterfest 2025? Start date speculation Fortnite Winter Fest 2025 will likely start between 14th and 20th December. Every Fortnite Winterfest to date has launched during this window, and nothing points to it being any different this year. Known Fortnite leaker Blortzen took to X (formerly Twitter) in November to say that Fortnite Winterfest will “drop on Chapter 7 Season 1, some days after December 11th”. View oEmbed on the source website Epic Games is yet to make any official announcement though, and whilst uncommon, something happening internally could see some sort of delay, but Epic Games will probably only announce a date when it feels confident that Fortnite Winterfest 2025 will be ready. When we hear something more official, we will let you know as soon as possible! What to expect from Fortnite Winterfest 2025 According to Fortnite leaker HYPEX (who is rarely wrong), there will be a Harry Potter collaboration in Fortnite, which will include skins and a Broom Mythic at least. View oEmbed on the source website A broom would let players fly around the map, and we wouldn’t be surprised if there was a Golden Snitch to catch during rounds, either. We already had the Witch’s Broom way back in Chapter 2, so we’ve already got an idea of how a Nimbus 2000 might function in Fortnite. View Green Video on the source website The aforementioned Blortzen also points to a Winterfest Hatsune Miku, based on Snow Miku, going by a leaked Fortnite LEGO hairpiece model that closely resembles Snow Miku’s hair. And HYPEX also shared news that, judging from footage from the Naruto collaboration trailer, more of the map will be covered in snow, based on analysis from SpushFNBR, who spotted the change in the video, and KPMisParrot, who geolocated where in the map it was. So all in all, we’ve got Harry Potter, Snow Miku and snow. What a time to be alive.

When is the next Fortnite season? Chapter 7 Season 1 release date
With The Simpsons mini-season drawing to a close, the next Fortnite season – Chapter 7 Season 1 – is about to start. If you've still not finished all your Story Quests for this season, there's still time to finish them off, whether that's killing Homer Clones, running with Tomatoes or taking parts to Hope. Before the new season kicks off, we do have a massive live event to look forward to as well, and it's one you don't want to miss. But if you're only concerned with when Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 starts, here's what you need to know about the start date for the next season of Fortnite. When does the next Fortnite season start? Chapter 7 Season 1 release date Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 is currently scheduled to begin on Saturday 29th November 2025. This coincides with the end of the ongoing Simpsons mini-season, which is set to conclude at 2pm GMT on the same date with a brand-new live event, which will likely last between 15 and 30 minutes. As for the specific time that Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 will release, we think that, assuming we get 2-3 hours of downtime following the conclusion of the live event, we predict that Chapter 7 Season 1 will begin at 10pm GMT, give or take 30 minutes or so. Here's what that looks like in your time zone: US West Coast (PST) – 2pm US Mountain (MST) – 3pm US Central (CST) – 4pm US East Coast (EST) – 5pm Central Europe (CET) – 11pm Singapore (SGT) – 6am, 30th November Tokyo (JST) – 7am, 30th November Australia East Coast (AEDT) – 9am, 30th November New Zealand (NZDT) – 11am, 30th November It's important to note that, at the time of writing, these timings are speculation – given this is the start of an entirely new Chapter, we wouldn't be surprised to see the downtime between seasons take longer than usual, so bear that in mind! What to expect from Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 We don't know anything for sure about Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 so far, but thanks to leaks, we do have a rough idea of some of the things that may be featured, with the whole season reportedly set to have a Hollywood theme. A leaked Battle Pass appears to include both The Bride from the Quentin Tarantino film Kill Bill, as well as Marty McFly, the protagonist of the Back to the Future series. The map will reportedly be a desert setting based on Nevada with buildings and POIs styled on Nevada, Los Angeles and Hollywood, with the Hollywood Sign and Area 51 both featuring.

When is the next Fortnite live event? Zero Hour date and UK start time confirmed
As this season draws to a close, when's our next live event coming up?
We've only got a few days to go until the start of the next Fortnite season, but before we get that far, we've got the next Live Event – Fortnite Zero Hour – to look forward to. The Simpsons mini-season has been one of the best crossovers Fortnite has ever seen, and the end of Chapter 6 will see some of the other big crossovers making a comeback, like Superman, TMNT and more! You really don't want to miss out on this live event, so here's the confirmed date and time when Zero Hour starts in Fortnite. When is the next Fortnite live event? Date and UK start time The next Fortnite Live Event will take place on 29th November 2025. Here in the UK, it will start at 7pm GMT, which corresponds to the following times in various times zones: If you're in another time zone, here's what time the event will begin for you: US West Coast (PST) – 11am US Mountain (MST) – 12pm US Central (CST) – 1pm US East Coast (EST) – 2pm Central Europe (CET) – 8pm Singapore (SGT) – 3am, 30th November Tokyo (JST) – 4am, 30th November Australia East Coast (AEDT) – 6am, 30th November New Zealand (NZDT) – 8am, 30th November View Green Video on the source website The upcoming Zero Hour live event will continue on from the events of Welcome, Our Alien Overlords, and will feature a huge ensemble cast of returning characters from the rest of Chapter 6 – the most of any event thus far. Beyond Fortnite's own original characters like Hope and Jones, characters confirmed to be making a return are Godzilla and Kong, Superman, the Dino Megazord, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, KPop Demon Hunters, and Scooby-Doo and Shaggy Rogers. We'll also reportedly see a couple of new characters, such as The Bride from Kill Bill and Marty McFly from Back to the Future. When was the last Fortnite live event? The most recent Fortnite live event took place on 1st November 2025 to mark the end of Chapter 6 Season 4. Dubbed 'Welcome, Our Alien Overlords', the event introduced The Simpsons mini-season, centred around Bart's Treehouse and an attempt to contain the Dark Presence. It saw Homer get his hands on the Zero Point Shard, which he has since used to cause all kinds of mayhem from Donut Storms to creating Homer Clones. How to join a Fortnite live event To experience the next Fortnite live event, it's best to join a game of Battle Royale before the event is due to begin to experience it in its entirety. In preparation for events, Epic often takes down Fortnite experiences (like creator mode) until the event's conclusion as it begins to work on implementing the update. We suspect it will play out much the same way for the next live event, though we'd recommend logging on at least a couple of hours early if you are serious about attending it. As the most popular game in the world, Fortnite commonly receives huge queues as players attempt to sign on to Epic's servers, so whatever you do, always sign on early to not miss out. Fortnite is available via the Epic Games Store across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

How to take parts to Hope in Fortnite explained
There are only a few quests left to finish up The Simpsons mini-season, and you might be wondering how to take parts to Hope in Fortnite. With the next Fortnite live event around the corner, heralding the start of Fortnite Chapter 7, you'll want to get all the XP from this quest to finish up your Battle Pass. So, if you're struggling with taking the parts to Hope in this Story Quest, here's what you need to know. How to take parts to Hope in Fortnite Once you've collected the Zero Point Shard in Fortnite, you'll be tasked with bringing parts to Hope. You can find Hope waiting for you at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant in the northeast of the map – simply track the quest and you'll get a marker showing exactly where to go. Once you arrive at the location, talk to Hope and select the option to give her the parts, completing the quest – it's that simple, or rather, it should be… Take parts to Hope bug explained For many players, the quest requiring you to take parts to hope is currently bugged and cannot be completed. This means that when you go and meet Hope to give her the parts, you will not have any option to do so, meaning you'll be unable to complete the quest. At the time of writing, there does not seem to be any solution to this in-game, and players will simply have to wait for Epic Games to deliver a patch that fixes this. Until that point, you can try restarting your game, or even your PC or console, but if that doesn't work, there's not a lot else you can do, unfortunately!

Fortnite Playboi Carti skin: Release date speculation and what to expect
Fortnite has never been a stranger to musical collaborations, and Playboi Carti looks set to be the next artist in that long line. Between the upcoming live event and the start of the next Fortnite season, it's a big time to be a Fortnite fan! So, if you're excited to get your hands on the new Playboi Carti skin when it joins the game, here's what you need to know about when it might come out and how to unlock it. When does the Playboi Carti Fortnite skin release? Our prediction At the time of writing, there is no confirmed release date for the Playboi Carti Fortnite skin, but we do have a rough idea of when it might arrive. First things first, we do know it exists – that much has been confirmed by the man himself via Instagram. Beyond that, all we know is that, according to dataminers, the skin is "coming soon". Initially, the most obvious release date would be 29th November, to coincide with the start of the next Fortnite season, but we already know that a BLACKPINK Lisa skin is being added to the game on the same day as part of Fortnite Festival. As such, we think that it's more likely that the Playboi Carti skin will release in early December instead, so as not to clash with Lisa's introduction. What to expect from the Playboi Carti Fortnite skin All we know about the collaboration thus far is that, according to leaks, there will be a Playboi Carti Outfit added to the game as well as an EVIL J0RDAN Jam Track. The Outfit will cost 1,500 V-Bucks on its own, or 2,500 V-Bucks as part of a Bundle, while the Jam Track will cost 500 V-Bucks. The other contents of the Bundle have not been confirmed yet, but based on previous Fortnite Icon collaborations, there will be an Icon Emote, Back Bling and/or Pickaxe, and potentially some cosmetics like Wraps.

How to find and eliminate Homer Clones in Fortnite explained
Fortnite's Homer Clones are plaguing the island, and if you want to get your story quests complete, you're going to need to eliminate 15 of them. But if you can't seem to find any Homer Clones in your matches, you may be making slow progress when it comes to this particular quest. That's why we've put together a quick little explainer telling you how to find Homer Clones in Fortnite and how to eliminate them! Where are the Homer Clones in Fortnite? How to find Homer Clones explained You can find Homer Clones wandering across the map, but if you want to find a big group of them, then you'll need to keep an eye out for the floating doughnuts that periodically spawn around the map. A few seconds after the first Storm Circle appears, a floating doughnut will appear on the map – this will be marked with an icon of Homer's head next to a pink doughnut. Head to this location on your map, and you'll find a huge crowd of Homer Clones all gathered around, waiting to be killed. If you run out of Homer Clones before you've completed the quest, you can shoot the floating doughnut to destroy it, which will in turn spawn more Homer Clones. Bear in mind, however, that once you start attacking the floating doughnut, any nearby Homer Clones will become aggressive and start attacking you, so be sure to kill them all first. How to eliminate Homer Clones in Fortnite explained Once you've located a Homer Clone, all you need to do is kill them as you would any other target NPC. Whip a gun out and start blasting, but be aware that the Homer Clones can get startled and run away, so it's best to try to get them all killed as quickly as possible. The quest requires you to eliminate 15 Homer Clones, so this may take a couple of tries if you don't manage to get it all done in one go, or if other players are killing Homer Clones while you're there.

How to travel distance under the effects of Tomatoes in Fortnite explained
One of the latest quests added to Fortnite requires players to travel distance under the effects of tomatoes. This has been added as part of the ongoing Simpsons season (alongside eliminating Homer Clones), seemingly in reference to Homer's iconic tomacco. If you're wondering where to find Tomatoes in Fortnite to complete this quest, here's everything you need to know. How to travel distance under the effects of Tomatoes in Fortnite: Where to find Tomatoes All you need to do to complete the quest and travel 500 metres under the effect of Tomatoes is use a Tomato(???) and just run that distance – to specify, a Tomato(???) is a large, purple tomato, and is different from the regular Tomatoes. To do that, of course, you will have to actually find a Tomato(???) first, but luckily there is one location on the map where you'll find them in abundance. Head to the very northwest of the map to Cletus' Corn Hole. Here, you'll find rows and rows of tomato plants, ripe for the picking. If you hit the plants themselves with your pickaxe, you will just destroy the plants. Instead, you need to find one of the buckets dotted around the fields. Interact with one of these buckets and you'll earn yourself a Tomato(???). Unlike the regular Tomatoes you'll find in-game which can be consumed to heal you for 10hp, the special, purple Tomatoes that are available as part of this event will grant you a Low Gravity effect, letting you float off for your 500-metre sojourn. Once you've got a Tomato(???), throw it at your feet like you would with a Chug Splash and run that 500 metres to complete the quest!

How to claim Fortnite Crew with Xbox Game Pass explained
As part of the recent shake-up of Xbox Game Pass, Fortnite Crew is now available through the service. Fortnite's own monthly subscription that provides access to the Battle Pass, a monthly V-Bucks stipend and more, it's one of the big new features that Xbox has brought to Game Pass this month. So if you're a Game Pass subscriber looking to get your Fortnite fix, how do you claim Fortnite Crew? Here's what you need to know. When does Fortnite Crew come to Xbox Game Pass From 18th November 2025, Fortnite Crew is available to claim with all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions only. That means if you're subscribed to the Essential, Premium or PC Game Pass tiers, you will not be able to claim Fortnite Crew as part of your subscription. How to claim Fortnite Crew with Xbox Game Pass As detailed above, you must be subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to claim Fortnite Crew – if you are, then the process to claim it is simple. You first need to make sure that your Xbox and Epic Games accounts are linked. Head to the Epic Games website and log into your account. Click the profile icon in the top-right corner, and select the 'Account' option. Once the Account settings menu is open, click the 'Linked accounts' tab, and click the link button beneath 'Xbox network'. Follow the steps, logging into your Xbox account and confirming that you want to link the two accounts. Once you've got your Epic Games and Xbox accounts linked, Fortnite Crew should be redeemed automatically, and be available the next time you launch the game on an Xbox console or PC. That being said, it may take a bit of time to confirm that the accounts are linked, so if you launch Fortnite and Fortnite Crew hasn't been added to your account, close the game down and wait 30 minutes or so for the account linking to go through.

The cosmetic bundle will include a collection of cosmetics including Outfits, Gliders and Pickaxes, all of which will feature the branding of the 10 Formula 1 teams. As well as those themed cosmetics, players will get the Formula 1 Back Bling and a Formula 1 Emote. How to get Lewis Hamilton Fortnite skin While the latest collab brings some new F1 skins to Fortnite, it's not the first time we've seen a crossover between the two, as a Lewis Hamilton skin was previously added to the game. The Lewis Hamilton Bundle includes a Lewis Hamilton Outfit with a few variants, the Rocket-Ready Roscoe and Pole Positioner Back Blings and the Pole Positioner Pickaxe. At the time of writing, the only way to get the Lewis Hamilton Fortnite skin is to buy it from the Item Shop for 1,500 V-Bucks or as part of the above Bundle for 2,400 V-Bucks, and it was last available on 13th July 2025. That being said, with the new F1 collaboration coming to Fortnite later this week, we could see the Lewis Hamilton skin return to the Item Shop, so keep your eyes peeled!

Fortnite Stranger Things collab: Release date and what to expect
As the Stranger Things finale draws ever closer, you'll be able to celebrate (or mourn) the series coming to an end in Fortnite with an upcoming collaboration. Epic Games will be turning the game Upside Down, bringing Hawkins and a ton of cosmetics along for the ride. We've already had a few Stranger Things skins added before, including Eleven and the Demogorgon, so what else could be left? Here's what you need to know about the Fortnite Stranger Things collab. When does the Fortnite Stranger Things collab release? The Fortnite Stranger Things event will begin on 24th November 2025. This date coincides with the start of Stranger Things season 5, which is set to release later that week. What to expect from the Fortnite Stranger Things collab The biggest addition from the Fortnite Stranger Things update is that the game will receive a brand-new Blitz Royale map inspired by the Upside Down. The map will feature an alternate version of the town of Hawkins, with an enormous Mind Flayer floating ominously over the map. As well as that, it has been confirmed that the game will be receiving "new outfits and accessories," although it hasn't been confirmed what any of these will be. We've already seen Eleven, the Demogorgon, Chief Hopper and a bunch of other cosmetics added to the game back in 2019, so other potential skins include Eddie Munson, Vecna, Steve Harrington and more. The most likely skin, in our opinion, is a unique Peely skin. Peely appeared at the premiere for Stranger Things season 5 wearing a Hellfire Club jacket, suggesting that he could receive a similar skin in-game once the update is released.

The Simpsons Fortnite Battle Pass: How to get all skins explained
The Simpsons have landed in Fortnite, and with the new Battle Pass, you can now unlock a whole host of Simpsons skins too. But like many Fortnite crossovers, the skins that are available are spread somewhat across various parts of the game, so you can't necessarily earn them all in one place. That's why we've put together a handy guide to tell you about all The Simpsons skins in Fortnite and how to get them. The Simpsons Fortnite Battle Pass: How to get all skins explained In total, there are eight skins that have been added to Fortnite in The Simpsons crossover, most of which are available via the Battle Pass. Here is a list of all of The Simpsons skins in Fortnite and how to unlock them: Marge Simpsons Outfit – Reach Battle Pass Level 7 Witch Marge Outfit – Reach Battle Pass Level 14 Blinky Fishstick Outfit – Reach Battle Pass Level 21 Hazardous Blinky Fishstick Outfit – Reach Battle Pass Level 28 Ned Flanders Outfit – Reach Battle Pass Level 35 Stupid Sexy Flanders Outfit – Reach Battle Pass Level 42 Homer Simpson Outfit – Reach Battle Pass Level 50 Evil Homer Outfit – Complete full Battle Pass and earn the sixth bonus reward Springfielder Peely Outfit – Unlocks 11th November We want to make clear that all of these rewards require you to purchase the Battle Pass in order to earn any of these skins, which will set you back 1,000 V-Bucks – not too much, in the grand scheme of things.

The Simpsons in Fortnite: Release date, UK launch time and what to expect
Say some gangsta is dissin' your Back Bling. You just give 'em one of these.
It's time to start playing that iconic theme tune in your head, because The Simpsons are coming to Fortnite very soon indeed! Name another game that can have K-Pop Demon Hunters and Huggy Wuggy in it one day, and Homer Simpson the next. I'll wait. In a rare move for the giant developer, Epic Games has announced this collab ahead of time, with a fun little video starring Kang and Kodos (the two dastardly aliens from The Simpsons). In the video, we see Fortnite players with Simpsons-style yellow skin, and we see the Fortnite original character Fishstick reduced to, well, fish sticks, by the extra-terrestrial baddies. The Simpsons event in Fortnite looks to be a mini season with a live event attached, so you'll want to get involved before it disappears and the next full season arrives to take its place. So, when does The Simpsons x Fortnite event release and what can you expect from it? Keep on reading and we'll run through everything you need to know. The Simpsons in Fortnite release date and UK launch time The Simpsons collaboration releases in Fortnite on Saturday 1st November 2025. As for a precise time, we know that the Fortnite Simpsons event will be starting at 3pm GMT. Both the date and the time were confirmed via a YouTube Short posted to the official Fortnite account. If you're in another time zone, here's what time the event will begin for you: US West Coast (PT) – 8am US Mountain (MT) – 9am US Central (CT) – 10am US East Coast (ET) – 11am Central Europe (CET) – 4pm Singapore (SGT) – 11pm Tokyo (JST) – 12am, 2nd November Australia East Coast (AEDT) – 2am New Zealand (NZDT) – 4am What to expect from The Simpsons in Fortnite For once, we actually know quite a lot about this Fortnite event before it has kicked off. It does happen from time to time! Unlike many collabs that just add a few cosmetics or an in-game boss to the game, The Simpsons event is reportedly going to be a full-on mini season, similar to the likes of the yearly Star Wars season. According to noted Fortnite leaker NotPalo, the map will be transformed into Springfield, separated into various iconic locations from the show such as the Springfield Nuclear Plant. View oEmbed on the source website Interestingly, the whole map will also reportedly be cel shaded in order to fit The Simpsons' art style. This visual twist would certainly chime with the official artwork for the event, which seems to show Fortnite skins with a Simpsons-like yellow colour palette. Naturally, there will also be some Simpsons skins added to the game, each of which will include their own LEGO variants. Although none of the skins have been confirmed as of yet, it feels safe to assume that Homer and Marge skins will both be available. Bart and Lisa would initially seem too short to get their own in-game skins, though one leaked Bart skin has appeared online showing him operating a mechanical suit, effectively making him the same height as everyone else. Naturally, with so many legendary side characters to choose from, we wouldn't be surprised to see some other skins made available such as Moe Szyslak, Principal Skinner, Ned Flanders, Krusty the Clown and many more.

Roblox and Fortnite down as huge web outage hits major platforms
A huge number of websites and games are experiencing outages today (Monday 20th October), including platforms such as Roblox and Fortnite. The source of the issues appears to stem from Amazon’s cloud computing platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS), which hosts many of the world's platforms, including banking services. As such, when AWS suffers a fault, much of the internet goes with it, including games that require online connectivity. Currently, players are struggling to log in to Fortnite, Roblox, Clash Royale, Palworld and many more. View oEmbed on the source website Mercifully, the outage hasn’t hit Roblox when Taco Tuesday was running in Steal a Brainrot. That would have been a dark day indeed… Fortunately, AWS appears to have identified a potential root cause and is working to fix it, as noted in an operational update on the AWS Health Status website. “Oct 20 2:01 AM PDT We have identified a potential root cause for error rates for the DynamoDB APIs in the US-EAST-1 Region," it reads. "Based on our investigation, the issue appears to be related to DNS resolution of the DynamoDB API endpoint in US-EAST-1. "We are working on multiple parallel paths to accelerate recovery. This issue also affects other AWS Services in the US-EAST-1 Region.” This was swiftly followed by another update saying that AWS is “seeing significant signs of recovery”, so hopefully you should see services return to normal shortly.

Fortnite update today (10th September): What changes in the patch notes?
Though the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers came to Fortnite to do battle with a whole host of bugs, Epic Games has been dealing with its own set of bugs, and as such, we’ll be taking a look at the new Fortnite update from today to see what changes are in the patch notes. We’ve still got a while yet until Chapter 6 Season 5, so it’s interesting to see just what Epic is adding to Fortnite in the meantime. The last patch introduced the Gorillaz to the game. Sadly, no such big names are gracing Fortnite this week. Still, there is plenty to look forward to for the remainder of the season, with the Dino Megazord outfit coming out soon, which will hopefully coincide with an event akin to the Godzilla one. But, without further ado, let’s get to them Fortnite patch notes! Fortnite update today (7th August): What changes in the patch notes? Fortnite’s v37.20 update brings plenty of new content and improvements for players. The highlight is the Roly Poly Spawner, adding a bouncing bug companion to merrily bounce along with. There is also the Hive Stash Chest and fresh O.X.R. Base and Hive-themed prefabs for creative maps if you like to make custom content. Proximity Chat has been upgraded with faster player name updates and more responsive voice indicators, making finding who is cussing you out and saying all sorts of things about your mum a little easier. On top of that, Epic has introduced smoother movement, better physics and a range of bug fixes to make matches feel nicer to play, and give you less excuses for your woeful performance... That’s just a quick rundown, but if you’re after the full patch notes, have at them: 37.20 Fortnite Ecosystem Updates and Release Notes Fortnite v37.20 introduces the Roly Poly Spawner device, the Hive Stash Chest, and new prefabs and galleries from the O.X.R. Base and The Hive. This update also adds three new Debug Command menu options, new tutorials, and the ability to subscribe to input action events and mapping contexts directly through Verse. New Experimental Character Inputs! You can now subscribe to input action events and mapping contexts directly through Verse. The following character input actions are supported: Jump Crouch Shoot (Weapon Primary) Target (Weapon Secondary) Sprint The inputs are currently Experimental, but over time, more functionality will be added to this list of input actions. We want to provide a clean and clear way to use the various controls available in UEFN. My First Island Feature Example! Get started in My First Island with this new feature example! See how the carnival shooting gallery was set up, including the custom Verse device code to earn points for shooting the good targets, and detracting points for shooting the bad targets — –who wants to hit a cute bear? This template showcases the full gameplay example set up in the Build Your First Island documentation tutorial series, and even adds a little more, using a HUD Message device to show the player score.

While the names for these keybinds referenced associated Fortnite actions (like Shoot or Aim), they were referencing the default keybinds for those actions. So if a player changed their "fire" keybind to something that wasn't the default, the Creative keybind would not change, which was by design. This has created problems for developers because they don't have a way to "guarantee" an action is lined up to the expectation. This has also created a problem for players, as a creator might say "use your shoot button to do x" but because the player changed their shoot keybind, and the creator is using creative input 1 (shoot), the player is expecting their new shoot keybind, and will be confused about why it doesn't work. Going forward, we are removing the Creative Custom inputs from the Settings menu, but not from the Input Trigger device. For creators, there should functionally be no difference. For players, there could potentially be a difference if they had rebound any of the Creative Custom Input keybinds.

We are looking into a solution for this to give the device more options. Skydive Volume: Push Forces above 0 will not push the player to the top of the volume.

Is Kai Cenat getting a Fortnite skin? Rumours explained
After years of tirelessly streaming Fortnite, one has to wonder: Is Kai Cenat getting a Fortnite Skin? We have the question on all Fortnite fans’ lips answered, with rumours explained and details on a Kei Cenat skin release date and what could be included in the bundle. Epic Games includes a lot of crossovers with big brands and IPs in Fortnite, but from time to time, homage is paid to big streamers who have helped propel the game to heady heights. The latest such crossover is the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, who arrived on the scene with Chapter 6 Season 4, alongside some troublesome bugs. Fortunately, of the alien invasion kind, rather than the sort that would be fixed in a Fortnite update. But without further ado, let’s see if Kai Cenat is coming to Fortnite! Is Kai Cenat getting a Fortnite skin? Yes, Kai Cenat is getting a Fortnite skin as part of the Fortnite Icon Series. After being teased for some time, Epic Games spilt the beans by way of the Las Vegas Sphere during a two-minute live stream, which can be seen in the X (formerly Twitter) post below. View oEmbed on the source website No doubt the reveal cost a pretty penny, but for such a popular Streamer, Epic Games clearly felt that no expense should be spared for such an occasion. Kai Cenat holds the current record for the most Twitch subscribers of all time, with the count reaching a peak of 728,535 subscribers according to Stream Charts. When is Kai Cenat coming to Fortnite? The Kai Cenat skin is coming to Fortnite on 12th September 2025. The announcement came with the reveal at the Las Vegas Sphere, but no mention was made of the price. Typically, Fortnite bundles cost anywhere between 1,500 – 2,200 V-Bucks. View Green Video on the source website Once we have an official confirmation of the price when it shows up in the Item Shop, we will update you in due course! What's included in the Fortnite Kai Cenat bundle? While we don’t know the exact names of the items included, we do know the Kai Cenat skin bundle includes the skin, Back Bling, Pickaxe, Emote, Companion Pet and a Car Body decal. You can see glimpses of the items in the announcement video, but Fortnite Leaks has provided some handy screencaps on an X post. View oEmbed on the source website No doubt soon, we’re going to see dozens of Kai Cenats getting up to all sorts in Fortnite. Once we get more details from the Item Shop, we will update this page!

Fortnite Power Rangers skins: Release date and how to get
Citizens of Super Earth in Helldivers 2 have been taking the fight to bugs for some time now, but it seems that some inter-game-dimension split has taken place, as bugs are now invading Fortnite, and it's up to the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers to save the day, and we've got the scoop on the Mighty Morphin bundle Power Rangers skin release date and how to get them! Most recently, we had the Fantastic Four gracing the island with their superhero selves, but the crossovers just keep on coming, and they don't stop coming, as they say, but the Power Rangers appear to be one of the more hyped up additions to the game in a while. Certainly, Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4: Shock 'N Awesome looks to be a real corker, with skins from other IPs such as Halo, even. But we're here for the Rangers, so let's get to it! Fortnite Power Rangers skins release date The Chapter 6 Season 4: Shock ‘N Awesome Battle Pass itself launched Thursday 7th August 2025, and includes the Green Power Ranger, which also has an alternative White Ranger style. The Mighty Morphin Bundle will come to the Fortnite Shop Friday 8th August 2025 and include Red Ranger, Black Ranger, Pink Ranger, Yellow Ranger and Blue Ranger Outfits, as well as goodies such as the Go Go Power Rangers Redux Jam Track for Fortnite Festival. Heading into autumn, those with a Battle Pass will be able to unlock the Dino Megazord Outfit from 16th September by completing Quests, presumably around the time that Megazord will be introduced into the game. The announcement came alongside the incredible Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 Shock 'N Awesome trailer featuring live-action renditions of iconic Fortnite characters, the Power Rangers themselves, and the appropriately named Bad Bugs. View oEmbed on the source website Whether or not the bugs are indeed bad, or are just big bugs doing big bug stuff, is unknown, but we’ll ask the questions after we are done stomping them with the Megazord, which seems to be an event akin to the Godzilla one earlier this year, as the YouTube video description tells us to: "Prepare to Power Up as Megazord for a splashy midseason takeover!" How to get the Fortnite Power Ranger skins <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2025/08/Radio-Times-Fortnite-Chapter-6-Season-4-shock-n-awesome-power-rangers-mighty-morphin-bundle-87b72a8.jpg" width="1600" height="1066" alt="Promotional art depicting the Blue, Pink. Red, Yellow and Black Power Rangers in Fortnite" title="Radio Times Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 shock n' awesome power rangers mighty morphin bundle" /> To get the Fortnite Mighty Morphin Bundle, you need to purchase it from the Fortnite Item Shop for 3,600 V-Bucks. You can unlock the Green Power Ranger and unlock its White Ranger style by purchasing the Shock 'N Awesome Battle Pass. If you don't want to purchase the whole bundle, you can buy each skin and item usually for the following prices: Skin – 1,200 V-Bucks Pickaxes – 500 V-Bucks Back Bling – 300 V-Bucks Emotes – 300-400 V-Bucks These prices are not official, however, as the bundle is yet to be added to the Item Shop as of writing. Fortnite usually receives updates around 2PM BST, so it may crop up around then. If you want a sneak peek at what's to come, the bundle has already been decrypted by clever Fortnite boffins such as Refortniter, who uploaded a YouTube video detailing the bundle.

Fortnite update today (7th August): What changes in the patch notes?
The day has finally arrived! Today's big Fortnite update brings with it the start of Chapter 6 Season 4, and it's shaping up to be a big one. But what's actually included in this huge new update? That's the question on everybody's minds. So, we're going to take you through the patch notes for today's Fortnite update to let you know all about the most important changes as we kick off Season 4. Fortnite update today (7th August): What changes in the patch notes? Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 is bug-themed, whatever that means. Here's what the official Fortnite websites has to say about it: "At attention, soldier. The orders are in, so charge headfirst into the hive! The bugs out there? Vicious, relentless, swarming. The vermin are dug in deep, and drawing out the queen won't be easy. "Neutralise the infestation with the latest and greatest high-tech tools in Fortnite BR Chapter 6 Season 4: Shock 'N Aweseome!" Paul Verhoeven, eat your heart out. New POIs The map is getting a big overhaul this season, with a whole host of new POIs to explore: The Hive – Recon shows high insect activity at The Hive. Running into the swarm here is an absolute certainty, and entry is not advised without a proper stock of ammunition. OXR HQ – Troops are stationed in the barracks at OXR HQ. Here you'll find the OXR commanders at the battle ops hub in the main building and an OXR Armory, where you can buy weapons and other items with Bars. Ranger's Ruin – Ranger's Ruin is a cautionary tale. Formerly a bustling weapons lab for OXR, the base was lost to the infestation. Needless to say, it's rife with quality loot if you're willing to get your hands dirty! New enemies At these new POIs, you may run into a collection of new insectoid enemies: Swarmer – The most common is the bottom-feeder, the Swarmer. (These are gross little buggers.) They'll bog you down if you don't take them out quickly. Bomber – Near the nests, you'll find hefty Bomber bugs on guard. These chonkers like to burrow and pop up behind you before letting loose a goop lob from afar that you really don't want to catch a whiff of. Queen – Then we have the alphas: the Queens. Usually burrowed deep, Queens are massive slugs, taller than most buildings. They'll surface after you've rid their nest of bugs, then they'll summon their grimy kin and try to body slam you something fierce. You might be reminded of that breakdance move… "the worm". It's an embarrassing way to go, but most don't stay uneliminated to talk about it anyway. Unique OXR buffs Like the Super Rank last season, this season introduces an OXR Rank, which is levelled up by killing players and bugs, and looting chests. Every time you rank up, an OXR Drop Pod full of loot will be dropped on your location. Hit rank S+ and you'll get a Drop Pod containing a guaranteed Mythic. Furthermore, once you hit rank A, you'll gain access to OXR Bunkers which are chock full of Exotic weapons. New weapons There are a few unique new weapons joining the game on launch, and a few others that will be added to the game over the course of the season. Here they all are: Bug Blaster – Let loose explosive plasma projectiles or charge it up to really pack a wallop! Roly Poly – Roll and bounce around the map, or charge it up and let it rip for a big burst of speed! Military-Grade Flyswatters – If you're serious about stomping roachies, then you'll want to pick up OXR issue equipment Leadspitter 3000 minigun Sweeper Shotgun OXR Rifle Wrecker Revolver Swarmstrike rocket launcher Blade Blaster – This sleek, sci-fi energy pistol is a lightweight hip cannon that allows for quick-tap firing or powerful, charged-up bursts New Boons Looting OXR Chests and Hive Sacs can reward you with some unique and powerful Boons: Agile Aiming Boon – While aiming down sights, your recoil and spread will be reduced and you'll maintain more of your movement speed. Extended Magazine Boon – Increases clip size for all your weapons. Storm Forecast Boon – The next Storm circle is always revealed to you Super Soldier Ranked Boons (B-S+) Rank B – Reduces Energy consumption when sprinting. Rank A – Rank B ability + increases reload speed. Rank S – Rank B and A abilities and reduces weapon recoil and spread. Rank S+ – Rank B, A, and S abilities and increases sprint speed and gives you unlimited energy. View Green Video on the source website New Medallions Clearing the swarm at one of three POIs will trigger a boss fight with a Queen bug, defeating which grants you one of these Medallions: Surge Medallion (The Hive) – Increases movement speed and gives a burst of speed when sliding. Springleg Medallion (Demon's Domain) – Gives you the ability to double jump, with fall damage immunity. Carapace Medallion (Ranger's Ruin) – Gives 50 Health when you eliminate an opponent, and passively gives 3 Shield per second up to 50 Shield. Battle Pass and crossovers The new Battle Pass includes a few big crossovers with the likes of Halo's UNSC Spartans and Power Rangers, alongside a host of Epic Games original skins. Later this season, a set of quests will give players the chance to unlock a Dino Megazord Outfit, starting on 16th September. Before then, however, you can grab the Mighty Morphin Bundle from the Item Shop to get all of the Power Ranger skins right now.

The end of Chapter 6 Season 3 is almost upon us, which means it's time to say goodbye to Superman, and hello to the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 release date.

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 release date Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 is currently scheduled to release on 7th August 2025. This date hasn't officially been confirmed, but this is when Season 3 is scheduled to end, meaning Season 4 will almost certainly release the same day, following a period of downtime. That being said, there have been hiccups in the past, and there's every possibility that Season 4 could be delayed to a later date for whatever reason. What to expect in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4, dubbed 'Shock 'N Awesome', will be centred around a bug invasion. This has been confirmed by Fortnite, as well as a crossover with Halo, bringing some UNSC Spartan soldiers into the game via the Battle Pass, linking up with Master Chief, who was added to the game in 2020. According to leaks, the new season will reportedly also feature crossovers with both Transformers and Power Rangers, although at the time of writing, neither of these collaborations has been confirmed.

Fortnite update today (29th July): What changes in the patch notes
It's just over a week until Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 begins, meaning we've got the last couple of updates this season to go. And with the upcoming live event to look forward to, patch v36.30 today is unsurprisingly not a huge one, but there's still some cool new stuff to look forward to. So, if you're curious what's new in today's Fortnite patch, here's what you need to know! Fortnite update today (29th July): What changes in the patch notes With Epic Games hard at work on the new season, today's update will likely largely focus around new skins and cosmetics. Luckily, thanks to prominent leaker ShiinaBR, we have a good idea of some of the new skins coming to the game. View oEmbed on the source website Saitama from One Punch Man is reportedly getting his own skin, after being rumoured to receive one for years. Another collaboration set for today is a crossover with iconic looter shooter Borderlands, with a Moxxi skin reportedly set to be made available in the Item Shop, along with what appear to be a couple of Emotes to go with it. While there are a few unique Epic skins joining the game, a couple of skins are set to receive new variants. The first of these is a new variant for Ninja's skin, with an all-black robe, black mask and yellow hair. The second is for Mask Maker Diago, with a variant of the skin without a mask on seemingly set to be released. Lastly, it has been reported by leakers that a Deadmau5 skin is encrypted in the game's files. Whether or not this skin is releasing as part of today's update is unknown, but it at least means a Deadmau5 skin is likely on the way soon. Beyond the skins, the biggest gameplay changes will be to Blitz Royale, with a couple of crossovers now coming to the game mode. Dragon Ball Z and Ninja will reportedly be the focus of the next Blitz Royale event, meaning the Kamehameha will likely be available once again. Lastly, a few old collabs are reportedly making their way back to the store, including the likes of Major Lazer.
