The Exact Time ‘Fortnite’ Chapter 6, Season 4 Starts And Season 3 Ends

GLOBAL (FORTNITE GAME SERVERS), AUG 7 – Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 offers the UNSC Spartan skin free with 100 level-ups and includes new weapons, bugs as enemies, and a Power Rangers crossover, Epic Games said.

  • Epic Games launched the fourth season of Fortnite's sixth chapter, titled Shock and Awesome, on August 7, 2025, with servers temporarily taken offline earlier that day for scheduled maintenance.
  • The downtime occurred because the previous battle pass expired, requiring scheduled maintenance from 6am to around 11am UTC to deploy the new season.
  • Season 4 introduces a bug-themed map overhaul featuring infestations, new weapons, an OXR Rank system, and crossovers with Halo and Power Rangers.
  • A dataminer revealed Epic plans to add Proximity Chat in this season, which players have requested for nearly a decade, though it will be optional and possibly disabled after a week.
  • The update likely lasting 2-6 hours returned Fortnite and companion modes by 9am BST, offering new content and quests like unlocking a Dino Megazord Outfit starting September 16.
