Fortnite fans are ecstatic as the highly awaited OG Season 3 update arrived on March 25, 2025, bringing a wave of nostalgia and new features to the popular battle royale mode. This latest update transports players back to the exciting days of 2018 with a reworked Season 3 experience where live events began.
Epic Games has packed this update with OG aspects, such as the return of the popular 50v50 Limited Time Mode, the bright Lucky Landing POI, and a loot pool brimming with nostalgic weaponry like the Guided Missile Launcher and Crossbow. Along with these nostalgic elements, a brand-new OG Pass gives 45 tiers of rewards, including redesigned skins such as Power Punk, Mecha R3X, and Sir Raven, which combine an old-school vibe with current flare.
The update v34.20 went online following a brief server outage, exciting gamers with its smooth rollout and an ominous meteor hovering in the sky—a homage to the event that launched Fortnite’s unfolding lore years ago. As players return to the island to relive the magic, one reward has already piqued interest: the new Victory Umbrella. This special glider, a season-long tradition, seeks to encapsulate the essence of OG Season 3’s cosmic theme. Here’s how you can get it.
In order to get a Victory Umbrella in Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 3, all you need to do is get a Victory Royale while playing the OG game mode in Battle Royale or Zero Build lobbies. You can also get the umbrella if you play the Ranked or Unranked lobbies in either of the OG modes.
Once you get a dub, head back to the lobby and you’ll see your fresh Victory Umbrella on the screen. Click on Claim and now it’s ready to be equipped in your Locker.
The new Fortnite OG Season 3 Victory Umbrella is called the Cometbrella and looks like a regular metal umbrella that players get in their first-ever Fortnite win. However this season around, the parasol features a Meteor graffiti on top, commemorating the return of the infamous meteor event in the game and a comet in the sky.

Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
Imagine tapping a Zelda icon on your iPhone and jumping straight into Hyrule. A new open-source project called nxnative makes that possible by repackaging Switch games you’ve bought into apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with no emulator in the middle.
Why does this run so well on Apple devices?
