When Does Fortnite Season End?: Chapter 6 Season 4 All Details

Fortnite is one of the most popular games of this era, serving a wide player base and a whole gaming community. This battle royale title is consistently delivering new updates, events and unique cosmetic items. As of August 2025, 37 seasons across six chapters have already been released in Fortnite. Every season brings something new in terms of weapons, skins and other cosmetics. The ongoing Chapter 6, Season 4 of Fortnite, Shock 'N Awesome began on August 7, 2025 and follows a bug Invasion theme.

When does Chapter 6, Season 4 End in Fortnite?

Chapter 6, Season 4 of Fortnite will end on November 1, 2025. It is longer than the last season, but compared to the past seasons, not too long. Fortnite seasons typically last for 10-12 weeks, and this one also seems to align with a similar timeline. The Shock 'N Awesome season will give players approximately 3 months to complete the Battle Pass and explore the bug-invasion-themed content along with exclusive weapons. Whenever a new season is released, many players get fond of the theme and the items it brings along with it, which sometimes even makes it hard for them to move on to the next theme.

When this chapter ends, it will also mark the beginning of a potential mini-event or a new season. According to several news portals, the upcoming season will be called ‘Reality Collapse,’ which will comprise tainted eggs and a mini-season themed Simpsons. The downtime for the next season might come right after November 1, just a few hours before the next update rolls out.

What happens at the end of a Fortnite season?

For the last two years, whenever a season concludes, the game moves to a mini-season. Meanwhile, the battle pass, through which players can unlock new skins, emotes, and other cosmetic items by completing the objectives, expires. The map also upgrades with new locations and elements, making the game look fresher. New points of interest may also appear, as the old ones get overhauled. Moreover, the storyline quests conclude, sometimes with a live event. Most of the time, these events are tied to the next season's theme. Most importantly, ranks in every mode reset and new weapons and gameplay mechanics are introduced to the game. This means that you have to grind again and earn the cosmetic items along with climbing up the ranks.

Fortnite Season Timeline

As of now, Fortnite has released several chapters, with each one of them consisting of multiple seasons that last for 2-3 months. The Fortnite season timeline also tracks the evolution of the game that brings new themes, gameplay and maps. Below, we have mentioned all the seasons that have been released in the game so far.

How Long Does a Fortnite Season Last?

Usually, a Fortnite season lasts just 10 to 12 weeks, which is approximately 2 to 3 months. The duration of any season can also depend on the developer's schedule, as sometimes they can both extend and shorten the duration of any season, depending on the schedule of special events and updates. Every season brings exciting content for the fans, keeping the gameplay engaging. As we mentioned above, the ongoing season will last for 86 days (about 12 weeks), which is the average timeline for most seasons.

However, those seasons connected with major collaborations or holidays get extended by a week to bring more content, but some can be very short to align with a new chapter's launch. The Battle Pass screen always shows the accurate number of days left for the season to end.

When Does the Fortnite Festival Season End?

Fortnite Festival is a fun mode made specifically for enjoyment. Here, players can enjoy the music-themed gameplay and chill to popular songs, along with unlocking exclusive rewards. Every festival has a specific end date, but it doesn't align with the season's end date. Currently, Fortnite Festival Season 9 is ongoing, which features Bruno Mars. This festival is scheduled to end on August 26, 2025. After its conclusion, Epic Games will prepare for the launch of the next season, which is expected to feature the virtual band of Gorillaz.
