Common questions on Fortnite, surfaced from across the indexed web.

When does Fortnite OG season 9 start?

Fortnite OG season 9 should start sometime around 6am to 7am CT following a few hours of maintenance. An official launch time for this season hasn’t been shared and likely won’t be based on past updates. Fortnite’s schedule tends to stay the same for most updates, though, so as long as no unexpected delays occur, it’ll be released within this timeframe.

When is Olivia Rodrigo coming to Fortnite?

Olivia Rodrigo is likely coming to Fortnite sometime before the end of June. For past artists, like Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter, the island Easter eggs have typically only appeared about a week or so before the cosmetics associated with them have been released. The singer-songwriter has also already begun teasing it, so the release should be quite soon. It doesn’t seem like she’ll be the next featured Fortnite Festival artist, as the current music pass runs until July 29. Her arrival is certain to be much sooner than this, so the collaboration might only be available in the item shop.
