Fortnite Treasure Hour (Power Hour): next date and start times
Fortnite Treasure Hour — the Treasure Hunters version of Power Hour, also called Dev Hour — gives two 2-hour boosted windows. The clock below converts every confirmed and expected session to your local time and counts down to the next one.

Unconfirmed sessions assume the standard windows of 2–4 PM and 9–11 PM ET. We update the list as soon as Epic confirms a date.
Quick answer
- Next session: the next Fortnite Treasure Hour is Saturday, November 14, 2026, from 2–4 PM ET and again from 9–11 PM ET.
- Pattern: Treasure Hours run every Saturday of the Treasure Hunters mini-season, with two sessions of two hours each. The first one ran on November 7.
- After that: November 21 is on Epic's list, and November 28 follows the same Saturday pattern but has not been announced yet. Epic posts the exact windows a few days ahead.
- Times: every session uses the old Power Hour windows — 2 PM and 9 PM Eastern. In the UK that is 7–9 PM and 2–4 AM GMT (the next morning).
- Season end: Treasure Hunters ends with the Chapter 7 finale on December 5, 2026, so there are only a few sessions left.
What is a Fortnite Treasure Hour (Dev Hour)?
A Fortnite Treasure Hour is a short, scheduled window in Battle Royale where certain spawns and drops are boosted. It is the same system as Power Hour from Chapter 7 Season 4 Override — Epic simply renamed it for the Treasure Hunters mini-season (update v43.00, November 1 to December 5, 2026). Fortnite developer Tofu Chris confirmed that Treasure Hours would run during the mini-season, which is why many players call it Dev Hour.
Each Fortnite Treasure Hour day has two sessions of two hours each, so players in the Americas and in Europe or Asia can all catch one at a reasonable time. You do not need to sign up: the boost applies to every Battle Royale match you play while the window is open, and it keeps working if the window opens in the middle of a match.
Searches for "Fortnite Power Hour", "Dev Hour" and "Treasure Hour" all point to the same event this season. If you are looking for the Save the World Power Hour, that is a different, older event with its own schedule.
Every Fortnite Treasure Hour date we know about
Here is every Saturday of the mini-season and how sure each date is. Times are US Eastern (ET); the clock at the top of the page shows the same sessions in your own time zone.
| Date | Day | Sessions (ET) | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| November 7, 2026 | Saturday | 2–4 PM, 9–11 PM | Confirmed (happened) |
| November 14, 2026 | Saturday | 2–4 PM, 9–11 PM | Confirmed — next session |
| November 21, 2026 | Saturday | 2–4 PM, 9–11 PM (expected) | Listed in Epic's post |
| November 28, 2026 | Saturday | 2–4 PM, 9–11 PM (expected) | Expected (Saturday pattern) |
| December 5, 2026 | Saturday | — | Chapter 7 finale; no session expected |
Why older guides showed Sunday or mid-week dates
In the first week of Treasure Hunters, three different answers to "when is the next Fortnite Treasure Hour" were going around. Epic's announcement listed November 7, 12, 14 and 21 and also mentioned Sundays, so some trackers predicted November 8, 15, 22 and 29, and one outlet reported a mid-week session for November 11.
The picture is clearer now. On November 7 Epic explained through its Fortnite Status account that treasure odds from chests are the same all day, every day, except during Treasure Hours, and every session announced so far has been on a Saturday. November 12 was a mid-week Captain's Day — the day new Sprites, weapons and shop items arrive — not a boosted window. No Sunday session has been announced, and we could not confirm the one reported for November 11, so both are gone from our clock.
The clock marks each entry as Confirmed, Listed by Epic or Expected, so you can tell an announced session from a projected one.
Fortnite Treasure Hour times by time zone
These are the standard windows (2 PM and 9 PM ET) converted for November, when the US is on standard time. If a session falls after midnight where you live, it starts on the next calendar day.
| Region | Session 1 | Session 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles (PT) | 11 AM – 1 PM | 6 – 8 PM |
| New York (ET) | 2 – 4 PM | 9 – 11 PM |
| São Paulo (BRT) | 4 – 6 PM | 11 PM – 1 AM |
| London (GMT) | 7 – 9 PM | 2 – 4 AM (next day) |
| Paris / Berlin (CET) | 8 – 10 PM | 3 – 5 AM (next day) |
| Dubai (GST) | 11 PM – 1 AM | 6 – 8 AM (next day) |
| New Delhi (IST) | 12:30 – 2:30 AM (next day) | 7:30 – 9:30 AM (next day) |
| Tokyo (JST) | 4 – 6 AM (next day) | 11 AM – 1 PM (next day) |
| Sydney (AEDT) | 6 – 8 AM (next day) | 1 – 3 PM (next day) |
UK players: the evening session at 7 PM GMT is the easy one. The second Fortnite Treasure Hour session runs from 2 to 4 AM, so most of Europe only gets one realistic window per day.
What gets boosted during a Fortnite Treasure Hour
- Sprite spawns — Sprite variants appear more often. The first session boosted Fortune Sprites; the November 14 sessions boost Cursed Sprites.
- Free starting gear — on November 14 every player starts with Lil Uzi Vert's Lil' SMG and a Self-Revive Kit, like the loadouts in Override's Power Hours.
- Rarer treasure odds — Epic's official multipliers for the first session were 1.5x for Pirate Shop Access, 7.5x for the Weekly Gold Outfit and 10x for the Weekly Vehicle & Decal; the 9 PM ET session raised them to 2x and 10x. Epic says future Treasure Hours may go higher.
- Map Fragments and Captain's Day content are not tied to the Treasure Hour, but a boosted session is a good time to hunt the week's new fragment.
Does Treasure Hour boost the Pirate Shop Token?
Yes. On November 7 Epic published the odds: Pirate Shop Access is 1 in 137,500 per chest in a normal match. The first Treasure Hour session boosted it 1.5x (about 1 in 91,667) and the second session 2x (1 in 68,750). That is still very rare, so a Fortnite Treasure Hour is the best time to farm chests, not a guarantee. Run your own numbers in our Pirate Shop odds calculator.
If you do find one, read our Pirate Shop Token guide and use the activation planner to pick the 14 days that cover the most skins. The 2026 use must be activated by December 15.
Fortnite Treasure Hour on November 14: what to expect
Both November 14 sessions come with a fixed starting loadout: Lil Uzi Vert's Lil' SMG and a Self-Revive Kit for every player. Cursed Sprites spawn more often, and Pirate Shop Access is reported at 1.5x its normal drop rate. A free SMG off spawn makes early fights faster and messier, so landing away from the busiest drops is even more useful than usual if your goal is to open chests.
Asking whether there is a Fortnite Power Hour today? Outside those Saturday windows the answer is no — chest odds are the standard ones on every other day of the week.
Is there a compass or chest tracker for the Pirate Shop Token?
No. The "Fortnite compass" that points to a chest with the Pirate Shop Token is an edited TikTok clip, and Epic has warned that it is used as scam bait. There is no in-game tracker, app or Discord bot that marks the token chest either — anything that asks for your Epic login is trying to steal the account. A real Fortnite Treasure Hour is the only official way to improve your odds. Our compass and chest tracker explainer covers what actually helps.
How to get the most out of each session
- Set two alarms using the local times in the clock above — one for each session.
- Queue a few minutes early. Matchmaking slows down when everyone joins at the start of a Fortnite Treasure Hour.
- Land near Treasure Hunt chests and Sprite spawns rather than hot drops, so you spend the two hours looting instead of respawning.
- Play squads with friends in other regions — pick the session that suits everyone and share the clock link so nobody gets the time zone wrong.
- Check the lobby event timer on dates marked Expected before you plan a long session.
