FAQ
Do I need to play Override to play Fortnite?
+
No. Reload, OG, and Creative still exist. You will just miss the season toys and the BR pass.
Is Sonic in the shop or the pass?
+
Launch coverage put Sonic on the Override Battle Pass. Shop weeks (Crash, Spyro, etc.) are extra FOMO.
Use the live season page for Battle Pass tiles from the API. Use the guides when the API is empty and you still need a plan.
