Fortnite gets a musical makeover as Sabrina Carpenter joins the festival stage

Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter is all set to take centre stage - virtually. In a unique blend of music and gaming, Epic Games has announced the Dance With Sabrina event as part of Fortnite Festival Season 8.
The limited-time experience will run from May 30 to June 16, offering players a chance to attend a virtual concert and even star in it.
How players can perform live in Fortnite's virtual concert
The event will be hosted on Fortnite's Jam Stage, a mode designed to emulate the rhythm-based fun of games like Guitar Hero. Players can choose to perform as a vocalist, guitarist, drummer or bassist, and time their moves to hit songs such as 'Espresso' and 'Bad Chem'. The better the performance, the more their heart meter fills up - pushing them closer to an in-game spotlight.
Those who score the highest during a session won't just be passive participants. Top performers will be assigned dynamic roles such as Dance Leader, Video Artist, or Special Effects Pro. Each role offers creative control over different parts of the show, from picking emotes and lighting effects to setting the stage's visual themes. The event is designed to be interactive and celebratory, with each concert shaped by its players.
While this isn't the first time Fortnite has partnered with musical artists, Carpenter's event stands out for its immersive format. Earlier this year, her music and cosmetics were added to the game through the Season 8 Music Pass. Now, fans will get a more personal connection as they perform and pose alongside Carpenter's in-game avatar.
Bad Chem bundle hits the item shop
Adding to the excitement is the Bad Chem Bundle, which will be available in the Fortnite Item Shop starting May 29 at 8 PM ET.
It includes a themed emote and jam track, timed perfectly for players wanting to dance in style.
Though Epic has not confirmed any XP or cosmetic rewards for the Dance With Sabrina mode, players who top the leaderboard during a performance will get a chance to appear in the Finale Snapshot - a virtual group photo featuring Sabrina's avatar.
For fans of the singer, it's an opportunity to be part of a digital tour experience unlike any other. And for Fortnite players, it's a chance to show off their rhythm and creativity in a global pop music celebration.
So whether you're a seasoned Fortnite fan or a Sabrina Carpenter follower, mark your calendars - Fortnite is ready to get the party started.

When will the Fortnite servers come back online after v36.30 downtime?

Image via Epic Games. After the previous patch which implemented new contents like the Superman crossover, permanent Blitz Royale mode, and many more, Fortnite is gearing up for yet another patch update, this time it's v36.30. As we are nearing the end of Chapter 6 Season 3, a new patch update was quite evident, and v36.30 is going to be the last one in this season. If any new mini season doesn't drop, we will soon take entry into the last stage of Chapter 6. Fortnite v36.30 server downtime schedule As the game's name suggests, Fortnite gets a patch update every two weeks, just like it got the v36.20 patch on July 15 . Coming from the summer break, it's been some busy times for the Fortnite developers as another patch is coming in its way. As it's a patch update, hence Fortnite servers will go offline for sometime to implement v36.30. In a post by the official Twitter handle of Fortnite Status, Epic Games has recently confirmed that the downtime for v36.30 will begin at 4 AM ET/ 1 AM PT/ 8 AM UTC on Tuesday, July 30, 2025. — FortniteStatus (@FortniteStatus) Matchmaking will be disabled 30 minutes before the start of downtime, which is around 3:30 AM ET, and players are advised to stay from entering a match around that time because their matches can unexpectedly end midway. Now the main question is, when will the Fortnite servers come back online after v36.30 downtime? Unlike the previous one, v36.30 patch is going to be a standard regulatory update and downtime shouldn't take longer than expected. As of now, no content is confirmed through this patch update, so the downtime might last for two to three hours. That means fans can expect the servers to get online at around 7 AM ET/ 1 AM PT/ 8 AM UTC on Tuesday, July 30, 2025. However, this deduction comes from previous downtime timelines, so discrepancies can happen at any time based on location, platform, and server. Hence, players should be patient until the downtime ends. However, after the patch is implemented, fans can return back to the fields of Fortnite immediately.

​Fortnite August 2025 Crew Pack skins get leaked

Image via Epic Games. There is no shortage of skins and accessories in Fortnite now, thanks to Chapter 6 Season 3. The Fantastic Four skins have recently been released, which has already enriched the cosmetic arsenal in the game. Now to add more to it, Fortnite's Crew Pack skins for August 2025 have now been leaked. Last month's Reboot Man skin and accessories gathered so much love from the fans that they are now waiting for something more exciting. And the August 2025 Crew Pack seems to be exactly that. All leaked Fortnite Crew Pack skins and accessories for August 2025 Whenever it's a new leak, we know most of the time it's going to be Hypex. Yet again this leaker has revealed another exciting aspect of the game, the Crew Pack skins in the game for 2025. This leaker recently shared a post on Twitter which gave us the first look of Crew Pack skin for 2025. However, unlike the previous month's leak , this leak by Hypex didn't mention the name of the skin. In this post, a girl with purplish-teal hair is seen wearing a yellow hoodie-like costume with a bear shaped hood, having probable bear-like pickaxes in both of her hands, which seem to be some kind of traps. Not only that, her belt also featured some bear-like grenades as well. This leak claims that players having Crew Pack subscriptions in August 2025 will be given away this skin for free. We don't have the exact release date of this skin, so this should be taken with a grain of salt until Epic Games officially reveals this. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brain tumor has left my son feeling miserable; please help! Donate For Health Donate Now Undo However, keeping in mind Hypex' past track records in Fortnite leaks, this skin is likely to be featured very soon in the game. The leak didn't feature any accessories except the probable Pickaxe. But it's quite confirmed that if this skin makes it to the Fortnite's Crew Pack in August 2025, then all the Crew Pack subscribers will get at least one matching accessory like a bear-themed Pickaxe, Back Bling, Glider, Wrap, or Emote. However, having an active crew pack subscription also offers 1,000 V-Bucks, access to the current and active Battle Pass, the OG Pass, the LEGO Pass, the Music Pass, and last but not the least, Rocket League's Rocket Pass Premium too. So, it's worth a shot buying the Fortnite Crew Pack for just $12 a month. Read More: What are the new game modes coming to Fortnite? Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4.

What are the new game modes coming to Fortnite?

(Image via Epic Games) Fortnite's about to go wild . Epic Games just dropped the news: two new Blitz Royale modes, Six Stack and Pure Chaos, are launching August 2. From squad-based chaos to high-skill matchups, these fresh modes are a major shakeup for fans. And that's not all. A massive live event, some Dragon Ball surprises, and a permanent Blitz Royale mode are also in the mix. Here's the lowdown. The Big Reveal: Six Stack & Pure Chaos Epic has officially confirmed what the leakers teased for weeks, that two fresh game modes are coming to Blitz Royale. Six Stack : For the first time ever, players can team up in squads of six. It's a new kind of madness built for bigger plays and tighter teamwork. Forget duos and trios. This is squad warfare at scale. Pure Chaos : As the name suggests, this one's for the sweat lords. Higher siphon rates, harder opponents, and raw, unfiltered action. Pure Chaos is built for the best of the best, or anyone brave enough to try. Both modes drop August 2, right after the big in-game event. The 'Super Showdown' Live Event Fortnite is wrapping up Chapter 6 Season 3 in style. A live event titled 'Super Showdown' goes live on August 2 at 2:30 PM ET. If you want in, log in early, as these live events attract millions. Expect cinematic chaos, big map changes, and teases for the next season. Dragon Ball Returns? Rumors are swirling again: more Dragon Ball content is heading back to Fortnite, possibly as part of the Blitz Royale relaunch. Skins based on Dragon Ball Daima , where Goku and Vegeta are transformed into kids, are being whispered about. No official confirmation yet, but it's heating up fast. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Passive Income Ideas Sitting at Home Mone Undo Blitz Royale: Here to Stay Initially a limited-time mode, Blitz Royale is now permanent. After overwhelming fan demand and a sharp rise in player activity, Epic made the call to keep it around.

With the launch of Six Stack and Pure Chaos, the 'Super Showdown' event, a likely Dragon Ball drop, and a permanent Blitz Royale, August 2 is shaping up to be a historic day for Fortnite. Whether you're in it for the squads, the sweats, or the skins, there's something for every kind of player. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
