After the immense success of last year’s limted-time Fortnite OG season, it’s no surprise that Epic Games has decided to bring it back. This time, however, it has made its return for good and has its own dedicated playlist. To get new and returning players off to a strong start in Fortnite OG, a set of challenges have launched which can only be completed in the throwback mode.
Although the development team has been hard at work recreating Season 1, numerous quality of life updates that have been deployed over the years have carried over to Fortnite OG. Included is the ability to slide, mantle, door bash, and heal while moving. In addition, building mechanics will be identical in Fortnite OG to that of Chapter 6 Season 1.

As you can see, there’s a lot of XP on the line to help progress your battle pass. Due to the lack of opportunities to earn XP with the launch of Chapter 6 Season 1, Epic Games recently buffed XP gains. Now, it’s possible to earn up to 4,000,000 playtime XP every week in Fortnite Reload, LEGO Fortnite, and Fortnite OG.
A second set of challenges will go live in January as Fortnite OG Chapter 1 continues to receive updates.
