Fortnite’s next Power Hour turns the spotlight onto Mythic Sprites, boosting how often they drop across two Saturday sessions. It runs during Chapter 7 Season 3 and gives collectors one of the strongest windows to grab rare Sprites before Chapter 7 Season 4 arrives.
Quick answer: The Mythic Hours run on Saturday, August 15, from 2 PM to 4 PM ET and again from 9 PM to 11 PM ET (6 PM to 8 PM UTC and 1 AM to 3 AM UTC on August 16). Jump into a match during either window to get increased Mythic Sprite drop rates.
First session start: Saturday, August 15, 2026 · 2 PM ET / 6 PM UTC
Mythic Hours start times by region
There are two separate sessions on the same day, each lasting two hours. You do not need to play both, since the same boosts apply during each window. Use the table below to find the exact times where you live.

What changes during the Mythic Hours
The core change is simple. Every Mythic Sprite becomes more common across the island, and two of them get an additional boost on top of that. The Zero Point Sprite and the Grim Sprite, along with their variants, are the priority pickups for this event.
The full list of Mythic Sprites with raised drop rates is below, with the extra-boosted picks marked.
| Mythic Sprite | Drop rate |
|---|---|
| Zero Point Sprite | Increased (extra boost) |
| Grim Sprite | Increased (extra boost) |
| Burnt Peanut Sprite | Increased |
| Batman Sprite | Increased |
| Ironmouse Sprite | Increased |
| Pollo Sprite | Increased |
| Vini Jr. Sprite | Increased |
Variants of these Mythic Sprites, including the Cube and Gem versions, share in the boosted rates. That makes this a good chance to fill gaps in your collection with rarer forms you may have missed.
How to make a Sprite count
Finding a Sprite is only half the job. It has to be banked, or extracted, before the match ends for it to lock into your permanent collection. Simply carrying a Mythic Sprite when the match closes does not add it, so plan to survive and extract rather than chase kills.
Once a Sprite is successfully extracted, it appears in your collection and stays there across future matches. If a boosted Sprite you grabbed is missing afterward, the most common reason is that the match ended before you extracted it.
Both sessions offer identical boosts, so pick whichever time slot suits your schedule and repeat matches within that two-hour window. With the season winding down toward Chapter 7 Season 4, these Mythic Hours are among the last high-rate chances to secure the Zero Point and Grim Sprites and their variants.
