Fortnite features a ton of cosmetics and other in-game items which can be purchased directly using a virtual currency known as V-Bucks. This particular currency can be purchased against real world money, and loosely falls under the generic microtransactions banner.
These in-game items can be purchased using the ‘Item Shop’ section of Fortnite, which possesses a daily reset – meaning that the inventory on offer changes daily. With the exception of event-specific bundles, here is all you need to know about Fortnite’s Item Shop schedule.
When Does the Fortnite Item Shop Reset?
Following current trends (and banner rules), Fortnite’s Item Shop resets every day at 00:00 UTC (or 12 AM UTC). This is assuming that there are no fluctuations in the schedule – as often seen due to the release of event specific, limited-time only bundles (such as the Deadpool Item Shop).
For those in other time zones, a handy table can be found which lists a few commonly adjusted time zones for easy reference:
| Region/Time Zone | Adjusted Item Shop Reset Time |
|---|---|
| Eastern Standard Time (EST) | 7 PM |
| Central Standard Time (CST) | 6 PM |
| Mountain Standard Time (MST) | 5 PM |
| Pacific Standard Time (PST) | 4 PM |
| Indian Standard Time (IST) | 5:30 AM |
| China Standard Time (CST) | 8 AM |
| Japan Standard Time (JST) | 9 AM |
| Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) | 12 AM |
| New Zealand Standard Time (NZST) | 12 PM |
| Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) | 11 AM |
Do keep in mind that these timings are most certainly expected to be affected by things such as Daylight Savings, and well as other unfortunate coincidences such as unforeseen delays and server outages – which requires Epic Games to fix it themselves.
Delays, if any, should most likely be coordinated in an official post by Epic Games.
The contents of the Item Shop remain the same for each and every player, with one particular exception. Assuming a player has already purchased a bundle prior to its inevitable rerun within the Item Shop, the bundle will be mysteriously missing upon its return – as a bid to protect players from purchasing a duplicate bundle once again.
Bundle prices vary greatly depending on the items on offer within them – usually costing between 2000 to 3500 V-Bucks each. The contents of a bundle can also be purchased separately however, but buying it outright from a bundle is usually recommended since players can save a few V-Bucks in the process.
So far, there have been monthly bundles in Fortnite from 2017, with a few reruns and original collabs tossed inbetween.
