The Big Bang Event: A Guide for Pacific and Central Time Zones

Gamers from the Pacific Time Zone (PT) and Central Time Zone (CT) are in for a treat this weekend as Epic Games prepares to launch its highly-anticipated v28.00 update. The Big Bang event is set to kick off on Saturday, December 2nd at 2pm PT / 5pm CT, bringing with it a massive implosion of stars and color that will pull everything into the nexus.

For those in the Pacific Time Zone, you can catch the event live via various streams on Twitch, YouTube, and other platforms. You'll also be able to play along using Xbox Cloud Gaming, Nvidia GeForce NOW, or Amazon Luna on your mobile device. If you're planning to watch with friends, don't forget that parties of up to four people are allowed.

However, if you're hoping to get a good spot in the queue, it's recommended that you log in 30 minutes ahead of time to avoid lengthy queues that could interfere with your ability to play. In fact, players from both time zones have already reported massive queues when trying to login and play during previous events.

So, what can you expect from this event? Well, for starters, the Big Bang event promises a repeat of the Chapter 1 rocket launch, which creates a rift in the sky before blasting back down to Loot Lake. Expect plenty of explosions, color, and excitement as everything is slowly pulled into the nexus, potentially leading to another black hole.

In the meantime, Epic Games has warned that Fortnite servers will be going down on Saturday starting at 11:30pm PT / 2:30am CT for the v28.00 update. Most Epic-made Fortnite modes will be offline beginning at noon PT / 3pm CT, although player-made experiences will still be available until downtime begins.

So mark your calendars and get ready to experience the Big Bang event in all its glory! Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just starting out, this event is sure to be an unforgettable experience. Stay tuned for more updates from both Pacific and Central Time Zones as this event unfolds.
