Treasure Hours in your time zone

Both Saturday sessions in ten common time zones. "Next day" means the session starts after local midnight, so it lands on Sunday for you. Pick a zone in the selector above to rewrite the weekly table, or choose "My local time" to let your device convert it.

Fortnite treasure hour: what actually changes

During a Treasure Hour, Epic raises the odds on three chest rewards. Everything else in the chest stays at its normal rate.

  • Pirate Shop Access: 1 in 137,500 → 1 in 91,667 (1.5×)
  • Weekly Gold Outfit: 1 in 1,562,500 → 1 in 208,333 (7.5×)
  • Weekly Vehicle & Decal: 1 in 7,813 → 1 in 781 (10×)

Outside those windows the odds don't move. Epic's own wording is that rates stay constant all day once the event starts and only change during Treasure Hours — so there's no secret off-peak bonus to chase.

Fortnite boosted hours: the regular 1.5× vs the one-time 2×

The regular boost is 1.5×. On the evening of November 7 only, players saw a 2× boost: Pirate Shop Access at 1 in 68,750 and the Weekly Gold Outfit at 10× (1 in 156,250). Epic hasn't promised that again, so plan around 1.5× and treat anything bigger as a bonus. The Pirate Token Simulator uses 1.5× by default and keeps 2× as a historical toggle.

Power hour today: reading the countdown

The countdown at the top reads the live schedule, not a hard-coded date. When Epic has confirmed the next session it says Next Treasure Hour. When a session is only predicted from the every-Saturday pattern it says Expected and flags it as not announced — that's the state November 21 is in right now. While a session is running, the card switches to live now and counts down to the end instead. If today isn't a Saturday, the line above the weekly table tells you so and points to the next session.

Each session lasts two hours, and there are two per Saturday, so a full day of boosted chests is four hours.

How to spend a two-hour session

  • Land where chests are dense. Rubber Resort (47), Lantern Landing (45) and Loguetown (41) top the Fortnite chest map. From November 15, Miku and Kasane Teto's crew holds Rubber Resort.
  • Bring a Fortune Sprite. It detects nearby chests, which is the most direct way to open more of them per minute.
  • Loop back to cleared spots. Chests refresh over time.
  • Keep expectations honest. Playing both sessions start to finish is roughly 120–180 chests (at a community-estimated 10–15 per match), which at 1.5× is about a 0.13–0.2% shot at Pirate Shop Access. The boost improves each roll; it doesn't make the token likely.
  • Count as you go with the Fortnite Chest Tracker, then plug the total into the simulator.

Past and upcoming Saturdays

  • Sat, Nov 7 — Fortune theme. Both sessions ran (2–4 PM ET and 9–11 PM ET). This was also the one evening with a 2× boost.
  • Sat, Nov 14 — Cursed theme. Both sessions ran. Everyone spawned with a Lil' SMG and an auto-revive device, and Cursed Sprites spawned more often.
  • Sat, Nov 21 and Sat, Nov 28 — expected, not announced. They fit the weekly pattern, but Epic hasn't published them. Check in-game before you plan around them.
  • Sat, Dec 5 — Chapter 7 end event. Treasure Hunters ends that day. Whether Treasure Hours run that night is unknown.

We only list dates up to December 5, 2026, when the event closes.

Power Hour FAQ

Is power hour the same as Treasure Hours?

Yes. "Power hour" is the community name; Epic calls them Treasure Hours. Same windows, same boosted odds.

What time is power hour today?

Treasure Hours only run on Saturdays: 2–4 PM ET and 9–11 PM ET (11 AM–1 PM and 6–8 PM PT). On any other day there's no power hour — the countdown shows how long until the next one.

How long does a Treasure Hour last?

Two hours each, two sessions per Saturday, so four boosted hours a week.

Is the November 21 power hour confirmed?

Not yet. November 21 and 28 follow the every-Saturday pattern, but Epic hasn't announced them. We'll mark them confirmed as soon as it does.

Will the 2× boost come back?

Not that Epic has promised. The 2× boost appeared only on the evening of November 7; the regular boost is 1.5×.

Do drop rates change at other times of day?

No. Epic says rates stay constant all day after the event starts and only change during Treasure Hours.
