Fortnite Season 5 Start Time And +100% XP Dates Revealed
By Ford James ·
The end of Fortnite Season 4 is just two weeks away, and Epic have announced the exact time and date Season 5 will get underway, along with a double XP weekend.
Fortnite Season 4 is coming to a close, as flora grows in Dusty Divot and the craters are filled in, players are left to wonder and speculate about what’s coming next. We still don’t know what’s going to happen or how the rocket ties into everything, but we do know when it’s going to go down.
Epic have given a two-day extension to Season 4, meaning it will end on July 12 at 1am PST/4am EDT/9am BST. An update will occur, there will likely be some short downtime, then Season 5 will get underway and we’ll all know the theme for next season and what’s going on with the rocket, The Visitor, Carbide, Omega, and everything in-between.
On top of all that, starting this weekend on July 29 at 1am PST/4am EDT/9am BST is a +100% XP weekend. It’s the perfect time to grind out some victory royales if you haven’t hit tier 100 and level 80 yet to unlock all of the Omega armor pieces. It lasts until July 2nd at 12am PST/3am EDT/8am BST, so take advantage of the long weekend and get stuck in. As a tip, save three daily challenges for this period so you’ll get double XP off those too!
