We are about to enter the final week of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 and Festival Season 4, but that doesn’t mean that Epic Games is taking things easy, as the 30.40 update brought Fall Guys to the game, and Festival is set to receive seven new tracks this week, including three from Guns N’ Roses. It is surprising to see such iconic Guns N’ Roses songs added as I did expect to see the band be a featured artist at some point. Whether that happens in the future remains to be seen, but for now we get to enjoy some of their biggest hits from Appetite For Destruction.

New Fortnite Festival songs are released in the game on the Thursday night Item Shop rotation at 8 pm ET/1 am BST. All of the tracks will be available to play on day one for free and then over the next week they will be cycled in and out of the rotation before joining the regular rotation. Each Jam Track will be available to purchase from the Fortnite Item Shop for 500 V-Bucks each.

Here are the new Fortnite Festival Jam Tracks that will be coming to the game this week:

  • Cage The Elephant – Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked
  • Desiigner – Panda
  • Guns N’ Roses – Paradise City
  • Guns N’ Roses – Sweet Child O’ Mine
  • Guns N’ Roses – Welcome To The Jungle
  • Kid Cudi – Day ‘N’ Nite
  • Rae Sremmurd Ft. Gucci Mane – Black Beatles

Both Fortnite Battle Royale Season 3 and Fortnite Festival Season 4 are set to wrap up on August 16th before jumping into the next season on the following day. While the core game modes will see a Marvel-themed season, it looks like we can expect to see Karol G as the featured artist in Season 5, which will then be followed by Snoop Dogg and NewJeans to wrap up 2024. Fortnite fans can look forward to heading back to Chapter 2 with the next Fortnite OG season before Chapter 6 begins in December 2024.
