Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 end date – your last chance to finish the Battle Pass is approaching
The current Fortnite era is nearing its end, with players having limited time to complete its Battle Pass before Robin and his team disappear into the next season.
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 has been quite significant, particularly as it followed a mini-season that compensated for its short duration with a wealth of content. The introduction of Superman in the Super Battle Pass, along with the new Fantastic 4 cosmetics, have made this season memorable as the Battle Royale game mirrors cinema trends by embracing superheroes once again.
It's been enjoyable meeting the season's new characters, with the Battle Pass roster becoming increasingly popular among fans, particularly with Morgan Myst and Storm Beast emerging as new icons for the real Fortnite girlies. However, we're soon to bid them farewell as the upcoming update 36.30 is expected to be the final patch before the season concludes, marking the end of a period that offered players some thrilling superpowers to experiment with.
There are whispers of a bug invasion in the next season, revisiting an alien theme with a chilling, eerie twist that could align the game with fans' genuine phobias of creepy-crawlies – but to confirm this theory, we'll simply have to wait until Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4. But when exactly does Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 conclude? Here's what you need to know.
When does Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 end?
The end date for Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 is scheduled for Wednesday, August 6 at 10:30pm PDT, and Thursday, August 7 at 1.30am EDT / 6.30am BST, when the game will enter a period of downtime. This coincides with the end date for Fortnite OG Chapter 4, as confirmed by the game's Battle Pass page.
There's not much time left to complete your Battle Pass and enjoy the map in its current state, since there's no certainty about which POIs will make it through the big seasonal transition. Make sure to bid farewell to Krypto while you have the chance. We're certainly going to miss him.

Battlefield 6 'doesn't need Nicki Minaj' says dev in knock against Call Of Duty
Fans of Battlefield 6 are worried the new game will pull a Call Of Duty when it comes to crossover skins, but the developer insists it will remain 'grounded'. According to current rumours EA is expecting to attract up to 100 million players to Battlefield 6, when it's released in October. That's orders of magnitude more than any previous entry in the series and more akin to the numbers enjoyed by the likes of Call Of Duty and Fortnite. Some influence from those games can already be seen in Battlefield 6, as the sequel will feature a separate battle royale mode. That isn't necessarily a bad idea but it has many fans worried that Battlefield may pick up some of Call Of Duty's other bad habits, especially when it comes to paid-for skins. Call Of Duty and Fortnite are known, for better and worse, for mountains of cosmetic skins based on movie stars, cartoon characters, real-life celebrities, and much more. Call Of Duty fans are getting increasingly fed up with the trend and it seems Battlefield 6 will be purposefully avoiding it. Speaking with DBLTAP during a recent London event, Battlefield 6 design director Shashank Uchil (who's been working on the series since 2018's Battlefield 5) expressed a disinterest in any sort of wacky crossovers for the game, insisting the game will remain 'grounded.' 'It has to be grounded. That is what Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 was – it was all soldiers, on the ground,' said Uchil. 'I don't think it needs Nicki Minaj. Let's keep it real, keep it grounded.' That second bit is a very pointed reference to how Activision added rapper Nicki Minaj as a playable skin in 2022's Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Not even as a character, but as herself and not in any sort of military wear. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. Battlefield Studios head Vince Zampella (who famously helped create Call Of Duty) was also quizzed by Eurogamer about the possibility of crossover skins. 'We want to be true to Battlefield, we want this fantasy to feel like you'd expect of Battlefield, so that's what we've been focused on,' he answered. While it can feel like Call Of Duty fans are always complaining about something with each new game, the series' use of crossover skins has been a point of contention for many years now. Things started off with celebrity cameos like Lewis Hamilton and various footballers, but as the years went on the skins became more and more fantastical. It was one thing when Call Of Duty was adding action heroes like Rambo and John McClane, who at least somewhat fit with the series' aesthetic, but now you have the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and cartoon characters like Beavis and Butthead running around shooting one another in Call Of Duty's otherwise realistic looking maps. There's no shortage of Call Of Duty fans hating on these sort of skins online, with the Beavis and Butthead ones prompting a Reddit thread labelled 'COD is cooked' with more than 8,000 upvotes. 'I was fine with the future tech, the anime, I reluctantly accepted the animal and mascot characters but… f***ing giant glowy cartoon character? Really?' reads the top comment. 'I remember coming around a corner and seeing Nicki Minaj knifing some dude and just turned the game off. It was the last time I played COD,' reads another. COD is Cooked [COD] byu/Purehate28 inCallOfDuty A separate thread from nine months ago innocently asked fans what their favourite Call Of Duty collab has been and while there are plenty legitimate answers, a lot of comments are people answering with none of them. The top comment is just a blunt 'No', with the second most upvoted being, 'None, I hate annoying skins, let alone crossovers.' As a result, a rumour from April, courtesy of frequent Call Of Duty insider GhostOfHope, suggests that despite the crossovers 'printing money,' Activision plans to rein them in because of fan complaints. By comparison, Battlefield fans have been elated at just how ordinary the skins for Battlefield 6 look so far. When the first line-up of skins leaked earlier this week, fans on Reddit praised them for looking like… generic soldiers. One comment simply reads, 'I love them, I love them, I love them,' while another says, 'Finally no weird operators, just plain anonymous soldiers.' That said, there remain concerns that EA will opt to sell weird crossover skins later down the line. After all, the reason Call Of Duty and Fortnite keep doing them is that despite the complaints plenty of people are willing to pay good money for them. More Trending 'The moment I see Nicki Minaj running through the map holding an M16, I'm out,' says one fan, with someone predicting it'll happen in just six months. Another fan writes, 'Modern military skins is totally okay, but that's a big no if we see some other characters for instance from Squid Game, Beavis & Butthead, Diablo 3, etc., etc. with anime guns and/or some other funky/pop/arcade things.' It's worth noting that Battlefield has dabbled in crossovers before, with Battlefield 2042 receiving skins based on Dead Space and Mass Effect. However, those are EA owned franchises and at least vaguely fit Battlefield's near future aesthetic. Even so, while the Battlefield 6 team might be disinterested in copying Call Of Duty's example when it comes to collabs, the higher-ups may have different ideas, especially if they want to market the game to a wider audience beyond the established fanbase.

Fortnite live event start time – when your battle for the island begins in Super Showdown
Fortnite is preparing for a new live event that pits you and your superpowered allies against the island's current villains and an enigmatic new kaiju. Fortnite has been on quite a roll in its Super season (aside from the prolonged downtime acknowledged by Epic Games, which resulted in a significant wait for players), especially with the introduction of the Blitz Royale mode and the Mega City Reborn update. These additions have transformed a five-minute burst of firepower into a core part of the Fortnite experience. Not to mention the enthusiasm players have shown for the season's superhero theme, rushing through the Super Battle Pass and collecting Fantastic Four cosmetics in tribute to the ongoing cinematic superhero revival. However, there's still plenty more to come before the season wraps up. The next Fortnite live event will thrust you into a major new battle in a Super Showdown seemingly masterminded by Mask Maker Daigo and Kor. It promises to be a thrilling time, and even if you're not a fan, it's not the end of the world as there's still extra time to enjoy the rest of the season. And let's face it, blasting pieces off a giant tentacled kaiju is hard to resist. But when exactly can we anticipate confronting the giant tentacled beast awaiting us at the event? Here's what you need to know about the Fortnite live event start time. Fortnite live event start time The Fortnite live event is scheduled to kick off at 11.30am PDT / 2.30pm EDT / 7.30pm BST on Saturday, August 2. This timing was first mentioned when we examined the Super Showdown live event start date, following an announcement via a tweet from Epic Games. The lobby for the event will open in-game half an hour prior to the expected start time, allowing players to join without facing significant wait times, before the event itself kicks into gear and lets you tear a new kaiju baddie to pieces. This event promises to be a significant occasion and a grand farewell to the current season, which has been well-received by players. Once it concludes, it'll be time to gaze towards the future – a trait that Fortnite fans are renowned for.

Don't feel guilty about letting your kids game during the summer break
We're a week into the school summer holidays here in England, and I wonder how many parents who started out determined to keep their children completely away from screens are now beginning to feel the strain. When my sons were much younger, I often had these idyllic images in my head of day trips to the seaside, back garden treasure hunts, paddling in the river, visiting relatives … an endless series of character forming experiences which I imagined in grainy Kodachrome colours. Then I'd be faced with the reality of having a job, and also the, let's say, limited attention span of my sons. Those boys could rocket through a host of formative activities in a few hours leaving a trail of muddy boots, half-finished crafting projects and tired grandparents in their wake. Sheepishly, we'd end up allowing some Fortnite time to catch our breath. There is so much pressure and guilt around children and gaming, especially during long school breaks, and I think we need to seriously redress our outlook as a society. I harbour many lovely memories of gaming with my sons during hot August days; drowsily loafing about building ridiculous mansions in Minecraft or laughing ourselves stupid in Goat Simulator. We would always take the Switch on holiday with us, so that in the evenings, when we went out for meals, there would be an hour or so where my wife and I could linger over a glass of wine, while the boys silently played Super Mario together. We still managed to build sand castles, go swimming and explore unfamiliar towns, but games provided a way to wind down and enjoy something familiar. When they stayed with their grandparents during holidays, they took games along too. My mum had a Nintendo Wii, which she claimed was exclusively for entertaining her grandchildren when she got tired; it was nice to watch my sons sit and patiently explain Kirby's Epic Yarn to her. I expect it reminds her of when I was young, playing Commodore 64 games on our computer desk in the kitchen – trying to recruit my dad into sessions of footie game Kick Off or the golf sim Leaderboard while he was supposed to be cooking a chicken. It's good for children to be able to share their expertise and enthusiasm, whether that's about playing a guitar (which my kids did, after learning about the instrument via Rock Band and Guitar Hero) or capturing a Jigglypuff in Pokémon Go. It's a cliche to say 'all things in moderation', but it also happens to be true. There is too much talk of screen time as some sort of all-pervading, homogeneous evil, when really we should be thinking about the quality of that screen time. When children grow up playing video games and they're comfortable in that world, over the summer is a good time to think about what they're playing, what they get out of it and who they're playing with. Is it bad that they spend an hour or two every night in Fortnite? Or are they meeting friends, having a laugh and even building stuff in the Creative mode? Games are also wonderfully adaptable to different situations. You might not want them playing video games on the beach, but in those interstitial moments – a long journey, a rainy afternoon – they can be invaluable – and parents shouldn't feel bad about that. For a lot of gen Z and gen alpha, games are a part of the texture of their lives now – they fit in, like reading a comic or listening to an album on a Walkman did when I was their age. Earlier this week, I took one of my sons, now 17, to London. I met a friend while he went off and explored the city by himself. On the coach on the way home to Somerset, we were a bit too knackered to chat, but instead we played Mario Kart World together. We stood the console on the little seat tray in front of me, but it kept juddering and moving as the coach drove along, usually to my advantage. It was funny; we laughed and compared tactics and occasionally looked up as the evening sun made the fields outside glow. I think I will remember that hour and a half I spent with him on the bus longer than anything else I did that day. There may have been a screen between us, but we were together. Car battle games were wildly popular in the mid-1990s when titles such as Twisted Metal, Carmageddon and Destruction Derby encouraged players to smash their cars into other cars, repeatedly, often while also firing rocket launchers. Newcomer Fumes is looking to bring those heady days back – it's an open-world single-player vehicle blast-'em-up where you explore a vast Mad Max landscape in an upgradeable muscle car destroying enemies. The slightly retro visuals and wailing guitar music hark back to the original PlayStation era and the arcade-style handling is loose and reckless. It's in early access on Steam with a free demo available. Available on: PC Estimated playtime: 10 hours-plus As reported in IGN as well as other sources, Sony is suing the Chinese game publisher Tencent for copyright and trademark infringement. The allegation is that Tencent's forthcoming game Light of Motiram, in which a young girl battles giant robot dinosaurs in a vast open world, bears more than a passing resemblance to Sony's hugely successful Horizon series, in which a young girl battles giant robot dinosaurs in a vast open world. Tencent has not yet commented on the allegations. Variety has revealed that a Wolfenstein TV series is in development at Amazon MGM Studios. Patrick Somerville (known for Station Eleven and Maniac) is set to write, while Jerk Gustafsson from game developer MachineGames will be an executive producer. The Nazi-slaughtering shooter is the latest video game, following the likes of The Last of Us and Fallout, to catch the interest of streaming TV platforms and film studios, looking to capture the attention of younger audiences who are tired of superheroes. Developers at Falmouth University are working with local teenagers to create a video game that helps young people deal with adverse childhood experiences. Entitled Ace of Hearts, it deals with subjects such as bereavement and poverty, and is designed to get players to talk about their experiences. Read more on the BBC news site.

Meet the new James Bond: how 007 First Light earned its licence to thrill Tales of the Shire: A Lord of the Rings Game – too cosy for comfort | ★★★☆☆ An evergreen question from Andy via email: 'In Sir Gareth Southgate's Richard Dimbleby lecture, he said he fears that young men are spending too much time gaming, gambling and watching pornography. I feel he is oversimplifying gaming. Time spent on 'good gaming' can be a good thing. I think about this a lot, and I'm very interested in how you think gaming might actually be helping young people find and cultivate a healthy pride, identity and culture for themselves?' Although there are huge problems with toxic communities within gaming, thankfully there is also a multitude of positive examples. I've experienced a lot of kindness and acceptance in communities focused on particular games, especially space exploration sims Deep Rock Galactic and No Man's Sky, and in creative games such as Minecraft, where players praise each other's construction skills. Minecraft has also fostered strong accessibility communities – for example the wonderful Autcraft, which runs servers for neurodivergent players, allowing players to build friendships in a way that wouldn't otherwise have been possible. Plenty of Twitch and YouTube streamers such as Aimsey, SpringSims and xChocoBars also create communities that give fans a sense of identity and belonging. And I love that certain games foster communities in which creativity and inclusivity expand beyond the games themselves – whether it's League of Legends cosplay gatherings or Life Is Strange fan-fiction groups. Video games, like music and movies, provide channels though which fandoms are able to express themselves and explore their identities. For many young people, I genuinely think the modern world would be almost impossible to navigate without these spaces.
