Fortnite is going all the way back… to day one of Season 1 of Fortnite Battle Royale! Fortnite OG is here, and will be always on, every day. Relive the origins of Fortnite Battle Royale, complete with OG loot, OG locations, and OG gameplay in Fortnite OG Chapter 1 – Season 1, Out Now!

Fortnite OG will run through the original Seasons of Chapter 1, recreating those early days, right down to loot pool changes and feature introductions. Seasons in Fortnite OG will be shorter than they are in Battle Royale currently, with Season 1 ending on January 31 at 2 AM ET. Solos and Squads will be available right away, as well as Zero Build! And stay tuned — Ranked Fortnite OG is coming soon!

QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES

A number of quality-of-life changes that have been added to Fortnite over the years will be present:

• Building mechanics will be uniform with Battle Royale as it is today.
• As far as traversal goes players will be able to sprint, slide, mantle, door bash, and move while healing.
• Some of the rough edges from that era have been preserved, while others have been polished. For example, players will find Reboot Vans and be able to see the glare from a sniper scope, but Max building resources are set to 999 and Double Pump is enabled for Shotguns (for now).
• Of course, the original map that Fortnite Battle Royale launched with in 2017 is back! Great care has been taken to ensure that every tree, Chest, car, and object is right where players remember it. In Zero Build, there will be Ziplines and Ascenders to help players get to hard-to-reach locations.

 PICK UP THE FORTNITE OG PASS

The Fortnite OG Pass features 45 tiers of retro rewards with a modern twist on classic items and Outfits.
