Fortnite Treasure Hours
Every Saturday, two two-hour windows boost Treasure Hunters drops. For the Pirate Shop Token that means 1.5x — from 1 in 137,500 to about 1 in 91,667 per chest.
Next session: Saturday, November 14, 2–4 PM ET.
Schedule in your time zone
Both sessions run on Saturday in the US. In UTC and most of Europe and Asia the second session lands after midnight, so it technically falls on Sunday.

Remaining dates this season
Treasure Hunters runs through December 4, 2026, with the Chapter 7 finale on Saturday, December 5. The expected Treasure Hours dates are:

Epic formally published the November 7 schedule and said future sessions may have different rates: "These rates may be higher in future Treasure Hours. If so, we'll let you know." Treat later dates and the 1.5x multiplier as expected, not guaranteed.
What the boost is worth
A 1.5x multiplier does not make the token likely — it moves a very small number to a slightly less small number. What it does do is cut the chests needed for a given confidence level by about a third.
| Goal | Normal chests | Treasure Hour chests |
|---|---|---|
| 10% chance | 14,488 | 9,658 |
| 25% chance | 39,557 | 26,371 |
| 50% chance | 95,308 | 63,539 |
| 90% chance | 316,605 | 211,070 |
On November 7 the second session ran at 2x instead of 1.5x, an effective 1 in 68,750. Epic has not said whether that will repeat.
How to use Treasure Hours well
- Play in a squad. One player finding the token gives it to the whole party, so four players opening chests is four times the effective rolls.
- Use Fortune Sprites. They reveal nearby chests, which raises chests opened per match. Epic boosted Fortune Sprite spawns during Treasure Hours.
- Land in chest-dense POIs. A route with 20+ chests per match beats a safe route with 5, regardless of the multiplier.
- Do not expect momentum. Each chest is still independent. The boost applies per chest, not to your account's history.

FAQ
What time are Fortnite Treasure Hours?
Two sessions every Saturday: 2–4 PM ET (11 AM–1 PM PT, 19:00–21:00 UTC) and 9–11 PM ET (6–8 PM PT, 02:00–04:00 UTC on Sunday).
How much does Treasure Hours boost the Pirate Shop Token rate?
1.5x, taking the token from 1 in 137,500 to about 1 in 91,667 per chest. The November 7 second session was a one-off 2x, about 1 in 68,750.
Are Treasure Hours every Saturday?
Epic has run them on Saturdays through the Treasure Hunters season and has only formally published the November 7 schedule. Later dates are expected, and Epic has said it will announce any rate changes.
Does Treasure Hours guarantee a token?
No. A 1.5x boost changes 1 in 137,500 to 1 in 91,667. It improves cumulative odds, but a single chest remains very unlikely to drop the token.
