If you're eager to dive into the thrilling heist action of *Fortnite*'s The Getaway mode, which made its return in Chapter 6 Season 2 after its debut back in Chapter 1 Season 5, here's everything you need to know about playing this Limited Time Mode, including its duration.

Playing The Getaway in Fortnite

Jumping into The Getaway is straightforward. Simply launch *Fortnite* on your preferred platform, navigate to the Lobby, and click on Discover. Scroll through the options until you find The Getaway, and hit the Play button to start queuing up. If you're having trouble locating it, make use of the search bar in the top left corner of the Lobby. Type in "The Getaway," and it should appear right away.

What Is The Getaway?

The Getaway transforms *Fortnite* into a thrilling heist scenario. Your mission is to snatch a jewel from the map and make your escape in a Getaway Van. It's a PvP mode, pitting you against multiple teams all vying for the same prize. Victory goes to the first three teams that successfully steal a jewel and escape, but you can also win by eliminating rival teams. A fun twist this time around is the availability of The Getaway in Zero Build mode, perfect for players who prefer to skip the building aspect. You can play in various formats, including Duos, Squads, Unranked, and Ranked, catering to different play styles.

The Getaway Start and End Dates

The Getaway is currently live in *Fortnite* and will remain so until April 1, at 12 a.m. Eastern Time. Make sure to jump in and experience the mode while it's available. Not only is it a blast to play, but you'll also earn XP that contributes to your Battle Pass progression.
