Fortnite Community Day Power Hour Starts May 30, 2026: Regional Start Times Revealed

Epic Games has marked Fortnite Community Day with a 24-hour celebration built around two Power Hour sessions, each offering special gameplay changes and limited-time activity. The first session begins at 3:30 PM ET and is the most important of the day because it includes a reveal for the end-of-season live event, giving players an early look at what is expected to lead into the next major finale. The second Power Hour starts at 9:30 PM ET and serves as the closing highlight before the event window ends on May 31, 2026.
The two Power Hour sessions are scheduled globally so players in different regions can join at the correct local time. For the first session, the start time is 12:30 PM PDT, 1:30 PM MDT, 2:30 PM CDT, and 3:30 PM EDT in the Americas. In Europe, it begins at 8:30 PM BST and 9:30 PM CEST. In Asia and the Pacific, the first session starts at 1:00 AM IST on May 31, 3:30 AM SGT/CST, 4:30 AM JST, and 6:30 AM AEDT.
The second session follows later in the day, beginning at 6:30 PM PDT, 7:30 PM MDT, 8:30 PM CDT, and 9:30 PM EDT for players in North America. In Europe, the second Power Hour begins at 2:30 AM BST on May 31 and 3:30 AM CEST. Across Asia and the Pacific, it starts at 7:00 AM IST, 9:30 AM SGT/CST, 10:30 AM JST, and 12:30 PM AEDT on May 31.
The first Power Hour is the main attraction because it combines standard Community Day bonuses with the live event reveal. During this session, all players enter with an Exotic Cube Rifle, while Infinity Blades can be discovered in chests around the map. The setup is designed to create a dramatic and high-energy experience that fits the theme of the season and builds anticipation for the Shattered finale.
The second Power Hour provides one last opportunity for players to take part in the Community Day activities before the 24-hour celebration concludes at 9:00 AM ET on May 31. Together, the two sessions give Fortnite players a short but packed event schedule, featuring exclusive gameplay elements, a live event tease, and a final chance to join in before the limited-time window closes.
