Fortnite’s highly anticipated Death Star Sabotage live event electrified the community on Saturday, June, 2025, kicking off at PM ET (11 AM PT, PM BST). Players were urged to log in early, with the event’s dedicated playlist opening two hours prior to ensure fans could secure their spot and prepare for the Star Wars-themed showdown.
The event marked the dramatic conclusion of the Galactic Battle season, thrusting players into the cockpit of X-wings and TIE fighters to sabotage the Empire’s superweapon. As the countdown hit zero, the Death Star’s superlaser threatened Battle Royale Island, and gamers united to thwart Emperor Palpatine’s destructive plan.
Immediately following the event, Fortnite servers entered downtime, with the new season—rumored to feature a Superman and DC Comics theme—expected to launch later the same evening. Players can anticipate new Battle Pass skins, weapons, and in-game features as Chapter, Season begins.
The Death Star Sabotage event ran for approximately to minutes, delivering cinematic action and setting the stage for Fortnite’s next evolution. For those who missed the live action, event recaps and highlights are now circulating across social platforms and YouTube..
