All clock times on this page use Eastern Time (ET). Only the first Captain’s Day has a published start time; later dates do not yet have confirmed hours.
Captain arrivals and Item Shop dates are different
A character arriving on the island does not necessarily mean their outfit goes on sale that day. Lil Uzi’s island arrival is November 7; his Item Shop date is November 12.
| Character | Island arrival | Item Shop release |
|---|---|---|
| A$AP Rocky | Nov 1 | Nov 5 · 7 PM ET |
| Lil Uzi Vert | Nov 7 | Nov 12 |
| Buggy | Nov 7 | Nov 13 |
| Hatsune Miku & Kasane Teto | Nov 14 | Nov 14 |
Buying an outfit is not required to play the new Battle Royale content. If you already have a Shop Token, check what is actually in the Item Shop before activating it. Read the activation guide →
Do you have to wait for Captain’s Day to find a token?
No. Pirate Shop Tokens are reported as available outside Captain’s Days. The event adds gameplay content; it is not the only window for obtaining Pirate Shop Access. esports.gg addresses this distinction.
There is no verified Captain’s Day token drop-rate multiplier in the sources checked. For acquisition steps and chest locations, use the Shop Token guide; for the reported odds, see Token Chance.
