Fortnite season 6 is here: Everything you need to know

Fortnite season 6 has arrived, and it has brought all kinds of surprises with it. Epic Games got into the Halloween spirit with a variety of spooky changes to the island, with the biggest one being nightfall. Pets are finally available in the game, allowing players to run around with, say, a canine companion. And the season 6 Battle Pass offers two skins with customization options that players haven’t seen before. Last but not least, don’t forget that Sony has finally joined the cross-play party, allowing Fortnite players on PlayStation 4 to fight it out with everyone else.

If you’re looking to revisit and remember season 5 — with its own major map changes, introduction of carts and golf and all — check out our look back at the best and worst of Fortnite’s last season.
