Epic Games

Fortnite events aren't only for players to check out new content from developer Epic Games. The popular battle royale game has also played host to multiple premieres and collaborations, from a never-before-seen clip of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker to the first episode of Chance the Rapper's reboot of Punk'd on Quibi. 

On Thursday, Travis Scott debuted his new music in an event called the Astronomical experience in Fortnite. Scott used the game to create the psychedelic event inspired by Cactus Jack's creations, which is the rapper's nickname and the name of his record label. 

According to Epic, 12.3 million players participated in Thursday's concert. 

The final encore happens at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT Saturday for those who have yet to partake in the concert or simply want to see it again. 

When did Travis Scott's Astronomical start?

The show started at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on Thursday, April 23.  The event lasted approximately 10 minutes and consisted of a giant Travis Scott rapping as players bounced, flew and swam in an event that could rival playing Fortnite on mushrooms. 

The event happened on land, see and air.

The show also had hints to previous Fortnite season-ending events such as the volcano eruption and black hole that led to the game being shut down in 2019. The concert even featured a shot of the original map of the island. 

I missed the show, now what?  

To experience the Astronomical experience for yourself, Epic Games scheduled more encores for the concert. The final show will happen at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT Saturday.

Epic added the Travis Scott skin and the Astronomical Bundle to the Fortnite Item shop on Thursday before the event started. The skin alone is 1,500 V-Bucks, or approximately $15, and the bundle is 3,500 V-Bucks, or approximately $35, and comes with the skin, the Astro Jack outfit, Astroworld back bling and Cactus Jack back bling.  

Starting on Tuesday, there will be a set of Astronomical challenges for players to complete. Rewards include a new Travis Scott spray and emote. Players will have until Sunday to complete these challenges.
