If you want to get ahead of the curve, check out our Fortnite OG schedule to see what awaits in the coming weeks.

There’s also everything included in the OG Battle Pass, which gives you the lowdown on all the upcoming loot.

We’ve also got the Fortnite OG map explained for those who have forgotten where everything is and newcomers who never got the chance.

When is the Fortnite Season 6 update? Release time confirmed

It's out now! Fortnite OG's Season 6 update launched on Thursday 9th November at around 2pm GMT.

This being a hotfix rather than a full update, Epic was able to make these changes without taking the game offline for an extended period.

Welcoming Kevin the Cube back into the game and quietly confirming that the update has gone live, Epic posted the following teaser on X (formerly Twitter).

Patch notes: What to expect from Fortnite Season 6’s OG overhaul

This update was teased ahead of time with Epic saying: “Darkness Rises again in Loot Lake! Frights and delights from Season 6 are back, including the Quadcrasher, Mounted Turret, Six Shooter, Chiller Trap and more” in the v27.00 hotfix.

Head to Loot Lake in the game (or take a look at the Twitter/X video above) and you'll see that things have certainly changed in the part of the map.

As can be seen in the Battle Pass – we’ll be getting some classic loot and vehicles too. The lists below provide all the patch notes you need!

Season 6 OG loot

• Double Barrel Shotgun
• Clinger
• Six Shooter
• Chiller Trap
• Port-a-Fortress
• Mounted Turrets

Season 6 OG vehicles

• Quadcrashers
• Driftboards

On top of all that, there is also a new series of challenges to complete too to earn you some more XP and goodies.

Jump into the game now and you'll find that the 'Week 2' content is now live in the Quests tab. This is the Season 6 stuff you've been waiting for!
