Q: How Long Has Fortnite Been Out?

The Fortnite initial release date was July 21st, 2017. So, nearly two years and three months. However, the Battle Royale side of the game wasn’t added until later in the year, coming out in October. So, the Battle Royale portion of the game has been out for two years.

The latest Season of Fortnite is the fourth of Chapter 2, and the game feels dramatically different from this time last year.

All Fortnite seasons in the past have progressed the game and added new content.

This is the rough Fortnite timeline, to show how we came from a small game in Season 1 to the juggernaut that Fortnite currently is:

All Fortnite Seasons manage to make themselves feel fresh compared to what came before. The Fortnite seasons dates and Fortnite timeline though show how inconsistent the dates have actually been. Even the naming is odd at times, with the tenth Season being something completely different. Fortnite season 5 is sure to have the same level of care put into it, once we know when that is actually due to launch.
