What time does the Fortnite item shop change?

Fortnite’s item shop rotates daily, bringing new and old cosmetics to the game. With the shop changing every 24 hours, players get a chance to purchase different skins they might have missed in the past.

In addition to cycling existing items, the in-game shop is the home of new skins that get added to the game by Epic Games. Whenever there’s a collaboration or an event, most cosmetics make their debut in the item shop.

When does the Fortnite item shop change?

Fortnite’s item shop changes at 6pm CT every day. That’s 12am UTC.

Unless stated otherwise, most items stay in the shop for just one day. Considering the rarest skins and emotes in Fortnite might only be available for a single day in a year, we recommend keeping track of your favorite skins so you can snatch them off the shop when it refreshes.

How to check Fortnite‘s item shop

The easiest way to check what’s on the Fortnite shop is by logging into the game yourself. If logging into the game isn’t an option, you can use Fortnite item shop tracker websites or follow dataminers on social media platforms.

During a time when I excessively collected skins, I would bookmark my favorites and check if they were in the shop every day. While this method allowed me to buy some of the rarest cosmetics and pickaxes in Fortnite, V-Bucks prices also put a dent in my wallet.

Over time, my love for cosmetics had me join in-game tournaments to get free V-Bucks in Fortnite, so at least I became skilled enough to honor my sweaty skins.
