Fortnite Rocket Landing Power Hour (February 28, 2026) countdown: What time does the event start?


Fortnite Rocket Landing Power Hour (February 28, 2026) will mark the end of this month, as well as highlight The Visitor’s arrival on the island. It has been a while, but The Seven are slowly coming back together, and you can now re-witness The Visitors’ arrival for the second or third time, depending on how many years you’ve been playing Fortnite.

Coming back to the Power Hour, the rules of engagement will be slightly different than last time, and there’s a freebie to be had as well. That being said, here’s what to expect this weekend and at what time you need to be present.


Fortnite Rocket Landing Power Hour countdown time for all major time zones

Much like the previous Power Hour, the Fortnite Rocket Landing Power Hour (and the one on Sunday, March 1, 2026) will remain active for an hour (60 minutes). On Saturday, the Power Hour will go live at this time across major time zones.

What to expect from Fortnite Rocket Landing Power Hour?

All players will start with an MK-Seven Assault Rifle and a Self-Revive Device, making the playing field even. The Storm has reshaped to scan the island during Power Hour, but it’s unclear what this means, to be exact. During each match, four POIs (selected at random at the start of the match) will be Legendary. Almost all chests found within the POI will be Rare.

The Visitor will also reappear. If you’re eagle-eyed, you will be able to spot The Rocket making landfall. Also, if you’re in-game at this time and part of the event, you will receive the Visitor’s Return Loading Screen for free.


Note: While re-experiencing The Visitor’s arrival, related quests will be temporarily disabled during this moment.
