📅 Fortnite Sprite events schedule

Sprite spawns spike during timed events — Power Hours, New Sprite Day, finish hours and more. Here’s what each event is, the usual times, and what’s live right now.

Recurring events & typical times

⚡ Power Hours

Most days

A featured Sprite or finish spawns far more often for ~2 hours — usually around 2 PM ET (11 AM PT) and again 9 PM ET (6 PM PT), often with bonus starting items. The single best window to farm a specific Sprite.

🆕 New Sprite Day

Thursdays

New Sprites and/or finishes are added to the pool, with boosted spawns of the fresh arrivals during that day’s Power Hours.

⭐ Mastery Monday

Mondays

2× Sprite Dust and 2× Sprite XP, boosted Sprite spawns, and extra Portable Extractors — the day to level and master Sprites.

✨ Shiny Hours

Saturdays

Boosted spawns of the rare finishes (Gold, Gummy, Galaxy, Holofoil) plus bonus items — a weekend shiny-hunting window.

🎨 Finish Power Hours

Rotating

A specific finish is boosted for the hour — Gold Hours, Gem Hours, Holo Hours, Cube Hours, Galaxy Hours — the fastest way to fill in a finish column.

💫 Sprite Spree Week

Seasonal

A themed multi-day event featuring a different Sprite finish every day (e.g. Mythic → Galaxy → Holo → Cube → Gem), each for 24 hours.
