If you're eager to dive into some high-stakes action in *Fortnite*, The Getaway is a Limited Time Mode that you won't want to miss. First introduced in Chapter 1 Season 5 and making a thrilling return in Chapter 6 Season 2, this mode brings a heist-style twist to the game that's sure to get your adrenaline pumping. Here's everything you need to know about playing The Getaway, including how long you can enjoy it.

Playing The Getaway in Fortnite

Getting started with The Getaway in *Fortnite* is a breeze. Simply launch the game on your preferred platform, navigate to the Lobby, and click on Discover. Scroll through the options until you spot The Getaway, then hit the Play button to start queuing. If it's not immediately visible, use 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 is all about pulling off the perfect heist. In this PvP mode, your goal is to snag a jewel from the map and make a daring escape in a Getaway Van. You'll be up against several other teams vying for the same prize. Victory goes to the first three teams that successfully escape with a jewel, but you can also win by eliminating the competition. What makes this iteration of The Getaway even more exciting is its availability in Zero Build mode, perfect for those who prefer to skip the building aspect of *Fortnite*. Whether you're playing in Duos, Squads, Unranked, or Ranked, there's a spot for everyone.

You can jump into The Getaway right now, but don't delay—the mode will vanish on April 1 at 12 a.m. Eastern Time. Make sure to play during this window, as you'll also earn XP that contributes to your battle pass progression.
