Heya folks,
Season 5 is finally here! Drop in now and experience Fortnite like you’ve never seen before.
WORLDS COLLIDE!
Drop into Season 5, where we’re introducing all kinds of changes to the map! A viking ship, desert outpost, and ancient statues have appeared on the island, changing the world of Fortnite as we know it. On top of that, Fortnite’s first four person vehicle has arrived! Hop in a zippy ATK (All Terrain Kart) with your squad and uncover all new mysteries and locations, the possibilities are endless!
For the full list of changes in Season 5, visit the v5.0 patch notes page.
MAP UPDATE
A drought has eclipsed Moisty Mire! In its place you’ll find a desert outpost, filled with loot and new opportunity.
Explore the map and discover new locations scattered all over the island!
SEASON 5 BATTLE PASS
A new Season means an all new Battle Pass, packed with over 100 new rewards. It’s available right now in-game for 950 V-Bucks. Challenge your squad to a game of basketball or golf, or toss around a beach ball with friends. Make up your own game with all new toys!
You’ll instantly get two exclusive outfits, then play to level up your Battle Pass to earn up to 100 rewards worth over 25,000 V-Bucks. Similar to previous Battle Passes, you’ll be able to complete Weekly Challenges to level up and earn rewards faster. Complete enough Weekly Challenges and you’ll uncover exclusive rewards!

GET STARTED
We can’t wait to see you discover all that Season 5 has to offer. Here are a few tips for first timers:
- Building is your friend – Throw up a wall to stop a barrage of bullets or use those stairs to snag a chest from the attic!
- Pick your battles – There’s no shame in finding a bush to play it safe while the battle rages on, choose your moment and strike!
- Explore the Map – The world is full objects that will help you claim Victory Royale and progress your account. Find fresh apples to recover your health, or gnomes to complete a challenge.
