What Time Are the Gem Hours in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3?

Gem Hours are officially arriving in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 this upcoming Saturday, August 8, drastically increasing the spawn rates for rare Gem sprite variants across the island.

Equipping these stunning Gem sprites not only blankets your character in a striking, crystallized aesthetic—ideal for custom back bling pairings—but also grants a handy 30% reduction in all incoming fall damage. Because encountering these crystallized variants natively in matches is exceptionally rare, participating in the dedicated Gem Hour is your absolute best opportunity to secure one. Below is the complete schedule for when these bonus hours kick off.
