Fortnite Season Eight: What You Need to Know
The highly anticipated eighth season of Fortnite: Battle Royale is set to begin shortly. Players can expect to access the new content on February 28th, immediately after the conclusion of season seven.
Epic Games, the developer behind Fortnite, has not yet announced the end date for season eight. However, a PlayStation 4 image for the upcoming season indicates that it will come to a close on May 8th at 7pm CT. This information is available on Fortnite’s event page, which can be accessed and verified by all PS4 users.
Based on these dates, season eight will last for a span of 70 days, equivalent to 10 full weeks of Battle Pass challenges. This duration aligns with the standard length of a Fortnite season. Notably, it is shorter than season seven, which was extended to 12 weeks due to the holiday period.
For Fortnite players, this means they can look forward to a season following the usual schedule. It is likely that updates will occur on Tuesdays, while new Battle Pass challenges will be introduced every Thursday.
Knowing the end date of season eight could be crucial for players who want to plan their gaming schedule in advance. This information will be particularly valuable for those aiming to reach the highly coveted tier 100 Battle Pass skin before the season concludes.
We will provide an update on the official end date of season eight as soon as Epic Games reveals it.
