When Does The Winterfest Cabin 2023 Arrive In Fortnite?

Christmas in Fortnite is always worth hopping into, with Epic Games fully in the gift of giving out free items and cosmetics for players to enjoy. On top of new quests, weapons and more, players typically take a visit to the Winterfest Cabin to unwrap a daily gift. 

Previous years saw players receive new Outfits, emotes, banners and more as part of the festive offerings. But as December unfolds, there's yet to be any hint of the Winterfest Cabin in Fortnite. So, when is it set to return in 2023?

Where Is The Winterfest Cabin In Fortnite 2023?

According to leaks, Christmas 2023 in Fortnite might not be looking as festive as previous years. Known Fortnite leaker HYPEX claims that the Winterfest Cabin will not be returning this year, saying, "Fortnite Winterfest 2023 Cabin has been CANCELED."

The leaker went on to reveal that the usual free rewards will instead be obtained via Daily Gift Quests, rather than unwrapped daily from the Winterfest Cabin tab. Naturally, fans haven't been receptive to the idea, taking to socials to beg Epic Games to add it back in. "The cabin is literally the most exciting thing about Winterfest," one user said. 

At the time of writing, Epic Games has yet to confirm the plan for Winterfest 2023, including whether or not the Winterfest Cabin will return. We'll endeavor to keep this page updated as we receive more information.
