Pacific Break
Season 1 opened a new island with a Hollywood flavour, with spots such as Battlewood Boulevard. Wingsuits and moving balloons made getting around feel new.
Showdown
Season 2 launched on 19 March 2026 with Rivalries, which pair two players up as rivals in a match, and an ice castle on Polar Peak. A Looney Tunes collaboration put Bugs Bunny in the Battle Pass. The season ended with the Shattered live event.
Runners
Season 3 started on 6 June 2026 on Shattered Coast, a remixed island with desert, jungle and tropical biomes and the Zero Point at its centre. Sprites returned and drove the season: you grabbed them and extracted them to keep for the next match.
Override
Season 4 began on 20 August 2026 and leaned into video game history, with crossovers that included Sonic and Pac-Man and mechanics that changed the rules of a match. It ended on 1 November 2026.
Treasure Hunters
The current mini-season swapped the whole map for Crossbones Isle, cut lobbies to 80 players and brought in One Piece. Read our Treasure Hunters guide for everything in it, and what we know about Chapter 8.
