Fortnite Chapter 6 is heading toward its finale, and Epic Games is once again preparing a massive live event to close out the season. But this time, players have the rare chance to jump in before the official broadcast. Epic is running special public test sessions that allow players to enter a preview version of the event, help with server load testing, and earn rewards—all without seeing any spoilers.
Early Access Schedule for the Chapter 6 Finale Test
Epic Games is hosting two public test sessions before the real Chapter 6 finale. These are short server-stress tests meant to prepare for the huge player load on finale day.
- Dates: November 20 and November 21
- Start Time: 1:40 PM ET / 10:40 AM PT
- Purpose: Stress-test servers
- Spoilers: None — the session does not show the actual finale
Players can join either (or both) test windows to qualify for the participation reward.
How to Play the Fortnite Chapter 6 End Event Early
Epic has set up a dedicated playlist specifically for these test runs. It’s visible only during the active test window.
Follow these steps once the event opens:
- Launch Fortnite at or after the scheduled test time.
- On the main lobby screen, look for the “Epic Event Test” playlist.
- Queue into the playlist just like any other limited-time mode.
- Complete the session—it will simulate load testing, not the real event.
- Once done, you’re marked as a participant for the early test reward.
Nothing shown in this test represents the real Chapter 6 finale. Epic is using placeholder content to avoid spoilers while still gathering server performance data.
Early Access Rewards
Epic is giving out a thank-you reward to anyone who helps test the servers.
Participation Reward
- 80,000 XP
- Delivered later in the same week
You don’t need to complete multiple sessions—joining even once during the early access window is enough.
When Is the Actual Chapter 6 Finale?
The real Chapter 6 finale live event goes live on: November 29
This is the official broadcast containing all story moments, visuals, and surprises that will lead directly into the start of Chapter 7. The early test sessions do not reveal anything from this finale.
