Epic Games usually updates Fortnite with new seasons early in the morning in the US. Expect Chapter 5 Season 2 to drop around 4 AM ET, though times can vary a bit!
I've been playing Fortnite for years, and the new seasons generally go live around 4 AM ET. Gets a bit intense if you’re not a morning person, though!
Who knows? Launch times aren’t always perfect. Keep an eye on Epic’s official announcements and social media for the exact time.
