Two Power hour event happening soon!
The fans and players are pretty excited for the upcoming Fortnite Power Hour, which will bring the limited-time chaos to Chapter 7 Season 1. This event will last 60 minutes and will provide an intense window for the players to experience the modified battle royale rules.
Many fans are looking forward to the date, timings, gameplay changes and what they can expect from it. Let’s check out the detailed information in this article.
When does the Fortnite Power Hour start?
The first Fortnite Power Hour is all set to start from February 28, 2026, at 3:30 PM ET. Epic Games always makes sure to arrange this event during the weekend peak hours, so that more players can jump into the action.
As a bonus, this season is also going to feature a rerun of the recent Rocket Landing live event. This will give players another chance to witness one of the season’s biggest moments.
2nd Power hour in March
If you somehow miss the upcoming power hour event, don’t worry, there is one more happening in March. Epic Games has confirmed that the 2nd Power Hour is all set to happen on March 1, 2026, at 10:00 AM ET.
The alterations in the gameplay will also be similar. However, because it is early in the day in the western countries and there are normally fewer competitive matches, an excellent opportunity to have easy wins by casual players.

Fortnite Power Hour gameplay changes & what to expect
This weekend’s event is going to introduce some major combat upgrades:
- Every player spawns with the MK-7 Assault Rifle
- All players receive a Self-Revive Device, even in Solo mode
- 4 random Legendary POIs appear on the map, packed with extra Rare Chests
This will increase aggression and survival chances. This will encourage faster-paced engagements across the whole map.
The theme seems to be connected with the appearance of The Seven, since previously in the story, characters like The Visitor and The Order have been introduced. Rocket repeat and weapon loadout are indications of more narrative progression in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1.
