Summary
Epic Games has revealed that it will be adding a new feature to theFortniteItem Shop, allowing players to check how long a skin will be available before it’s removed for rotation. There are thousands of cosmetics inFortnite, and it’s not uncommon for fans to have lists of the items that they want to return to the game. Every day, cosmetic items are brought in and out of the shop to make room for new and returning trends. However, unlessFortnitemakes an announcement, it’s impossible for gamers to know what’s coming before the refresh.
Item Shop cosmetics in the daily tab aren’t usually available for more than 24 hours. However, when a new skin is released, it tends to be around for a few days before it’s replaced. This allows players to think it over and decide whether they want to spend V-Bucks on it or not. On top of this, it also grants them some time to level up andgrind forFortniteBattle Pass V-Bucksif necessary. Nevertheless, the anticipation that comes with a new Item Shop refresh is still nerve-wracking, as gamers can’t tell if their desired cosmetic will be around the following day. Thankfully, players won’t have to deal with this much longer.
With the release of update v29.20, Epic Games announced that soon each item in the Item Shop will have its own timer with a countdown revealing when it’s scheduled to leave the shop. This way, gamers will know exactly how much time they have before an item is gone until the next rotation. The Item Shop will remain a surprise, as gamers won’t be able to tell whichFortnitecosmeticswill be featured the next day, but it prevents them from making hasty decisions based on the possibility of it being removed.
When Will the Individual Timer Be Added to the Fortnite Item Shop?
It is likely that the Item Shop timer will only be added in theupcomingFortniteseason. Chapter 5 Season 2 comes to an end in the early hours of May 24, so it would make sense for this feature to be introduced in the new season patch, especially since it’ll be a major update.
The game has been around for nearly seven years, and Epic Games continues to addnew features toFortnite. The game remains an ever-changing experience with few dull moments, and even though there have been a few bumps in the road, the fanbase continues to be satisfied with Epic’s dedication and performance.
