And while this isn’t always the case, there is a live “changeover” event this time that players won’t want to miss. After that, servers go down and players can log into Season 3 in the morning.The Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 “Runners” launch should be in the following time windows per region:4 AM-7 AM PT7 AM-10 AM ET11 AM-2 PM GMT12 PM-3PM CET3 PM-6PM GST7 PM-10 PM CST9 PM -11 PM JSTThe new season will launch in the morning on Saturday, June 6, at least for the Americas. Downtime ranges, but it’s generally pretty early and will probably be live by the time most wake up.The “faction” based live event requires players to choose between the Foundation and Ice King teams, and how you experience the event will change based on that.
