The Fortnite 5th birthday event is just around the corner! This annual festivity will add a lot of new content to the video game, including new challenges and free rewards.
Fortnite Battle Royale was first released on September 26, 2017, but its birthday celebration will start a bit earlier this year. Players will earn Fortnite 5th birthday rewards starting Friday, September 23.
The upcoming event will not last for long, leaving players with just a couple of days to earn all the rewards. However, players will be delighted to hear that some OG items will be unvaulted during this period.
This article will reveal everything about Fortnite's birthday event, including its rewards and other important information.

Fortnite 5th birthday event will bring a couple of rewards
Epic Games has released a lot of free cosmetic items into Fortnite Battle Royale in the last few months. This will not change, as the Fortnite 5th birthday rewards will be obtainable very soon.
The video game developer has revealed three different rewards that will be given to players who complete exclusive challenges:
- Fuzzfetti Cake Back Bling
- Celebratory Slice Pickaxe
- Sparklecake Emoticon
Considering that these items are exclusive for the birthday event, they will most likely never return to the game again.
The Fortnite 5th birthday date has also been revealed. It will last until Tuesday, September 27. The Fortnite 5th birthday event will both start and end at 9:00 AM Eastern Time.
The new celebration will not only be about cosmetic items. Epic Games has announced the unvaulting of a couple of OG items that will be available during the 5th birthday of the video game.
Players will be able to use the Presents item once again, as well as eat the Birthday Cake that will be another consumable. Those who love heights will be glad to hear that Balloons are also coming back with the Fortnite 5th birthday event.
The Battle Bus will get a new paint job as well, and it is very likely that Epic will have special birthday music blasting through its speakers!
At the moment, it is unclear if these gameplay items and changes will be gone on September 27. However, considering that Epic Games has announced that exclusive quests will last until this day, there is a chance that we will get a v22.10 update as well.
