The Fortnite Item Shop is updated daily with new cosmetics, bundles, and merchandise. Support from Epic Games claims that this consistently occurs at midnight, or 00:00 UTC. Coordinated Universal Time
This schedule is confirmed by several reliable sources. The shop consistently resets at 0:00 UTC every day, according to Escapist Magazine. Additionally, according to FandomWire, the store's inventory changes exactly at midnight UTC, though occasionally that timing can be altered by special events or packages.
What That Means in Your Time Zone
The local reset time varies globally due to a daily midnight UTC reset. Players usually notice the new store like this:
Time Zone | Everyday Reset Time |
|---|---|
Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) | 8:00 PM EDT |
Central Daylight Time (CDT) | 7:00 PM CDT |
Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) | 6:00 PM MDT |
Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) | 5:00 PM PDT |
During Daylight Saving Time, which is approximately March through November, these are the norm. The time may move back by one hour during months when DST is not in effect.
