Fortnite The End

Fortnite Chapter 2 is coming to a close with a finale live event known as ‘The End’, and we’ve got all the details you need on start times and streams so you can watch along as it happens.

After two years and eight incredible seasons of battle royale madness, Chapter 2 of Fortnite is bowing out to make way for Chapter 3. Before that happens, though, there’s a huge live event to enjoy where players will work together to take down the Cube Queen.

If previous live events like the battle with Marvel villain Galactus and the dramatic Operation Sky Fire are anything to go by, the Chapter 2 finale should be an event to remember, especially as it’s closing out an entire chapter and not just a season.

Whether you’re planning on diving in and playing along yourself or you’d prefer to watch a stream online instead, we’ve got answers to all your questions about the upcoming event right here.
