Fortnite OG’s first live event is the Blast Off rocket launch. Here’s our live coverage as it happens, including info on the start time.
Fortnite OG is running its first ever live event later today (July 26, 2025). It’s a recreation of the rocket launch that happened all the way back in 2018, which culminated in the first appearance of the crack in the sky that has now become a mainstay of the game.
Now that Fortnite OG is a permanent mode, we can look forward to a new Fortnite OG season launching in early August. Before then, there’s the Blast Off event, as well as regular updates that add new weapons into the loot pool. So far, this season has really switched things up, and it’s been a real treat to revisit Risky Reels and Dusty Divot. It’s changes like these that have kept Fortnite well and truly cemented as one of the best free games to play in 2025.
Here’s TechRadar Gaming’s live coverage of the Fortnite OG rocket launch live event. I’ll be detailing everything you need to know in the hours leading up to the event, as well as some details on what to expect. Once the rocket launch is live, I’ll be giving my impressions as it unfolds.
