Are you looking for the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 end date to see how much time you have to grind the new battle pass? Fret not as we're here to help.

With Chapter 5 Season 2 behind us and the new Chapter 5 Season 3 bringing a post-apocalyptic theme with it, it's understandable some fans might be interested in knowing when the new season ends.

Some may want to take a break from the game and are trying to steer away from an entire season, others might not be interested in the leaked content that could be coming to the battle royale or the confirmed initial collaborations with Fallout and Magneto from the X-Men.

Whatever your case may be, we got you covered. Let's tell you when Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 ends. For more content, check out the leaked Fortnite 2024 roadmap.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 End Date

Is it time to say goodbye to Mt Olympus in Fortnite?

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 will end on August 16. Epic Games confirmed the end date of the season with a new blog post on May 24. This means Chapter 5 Season 3 will last over three months.

Most Fortnite seasons tend to last anywhere from 75 to upwards of 100 days. Epic is very flexible compared to other developers and their live-service schedules in this regard.

For instance, while Chapter 5 Season 1 lasted 96 days, Chapter 5 Season 2 will only last 77. Don't worry, in cases when the seasons are shorter, Epic usually has XP boosts as compensation, which is what happened in the final days of Chapter 5 Season 2.

Ending the season in mid-August will align with last year's calendar, as it will leave enough space to cram in both Chapter 5 Season 4 and Fortnite OG 2 to end 2024.

Last year, Fortnite OG only lasted for 30 days between November and December and it stands to reason they'd like to keep that same release cadence now that they have to squeeze in a much shorter nostalgia-induced mini-season.

And that's it, now that you know when Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 is ending, we recommend you take a look at all the brand-new POIs coming to the island.
