It’s that exciting time of year when Fortnite commemorates its birthday, celebrating seven years since its launch in 2017. Over the years, numerous skins, game modes, and collaborations have enriched the game, showcasing the incredible evolution of the Battle Royale.
Fortnite typically hosts a limited-time birthday event every year, featuring a variety of quests and free rewards for players, along with the return of nostalgic items to the map.
Fortnite 2024 Birthday Event: Start Date
During the event, Fortnite players can look forward to the return of birthday presents in the Battle Royale.
While Epic Games has not confirmed the exact start date for the birthday event, considering that Fortnite’s Battle Royale was originally released on September 26, 2017, it’s highly probable that the event will kick off sometime this week.
A likely date is September 24, 2024, based on previous birthday event patterns. Additionally, since updates and hotfixes are typically rolled out on Tuesdays, we could expect the event to appear in-game very soon.

The Fortnite birthday event generally sticks to the tradition of introducing new rewards through quests. Last year, players earned free back bling, a pickaxe, and a spray merely by completing birthday challenges.
