description: Tung Tung Tung Sa... we're so tired.
encoded: We're surprised it's taken this long, but Italian brainrot is heading to Fortnite, with skins for Tung Tung Tung Sahur and Ballerina Cappuccina. Fortnite is no stranger to brainrot already, with Steal the Brainrot blowing up earlier this year, but this is the first time we'll see them in BR. So, if you're wondering when we're going to see Tung Tung Tung Sahur in Fortnite, here's what you need to know. Is Tung Tung Tung Sahur coming to Fortnite? Yes, Tung Tung Tung Sahur is coming to Fortnite, along with Ballerina Cappuccina. This was revealed in the official Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 Showdown live-action trailer. Right at the beginning of the trailer we can see both Ballerina Cappuccina and Tung Tung Tung Sahur dancing in the window of a building. You can see the brainrot duo in action in the live-action trailer below: View oEmbed on the source website It hasn't been officially revealed in what way these AI Italian brainrot characters are being added to Fortnite, but based on their prominence in the early seconds of the trailer, and their size, we can assume both will be skins released in the in-game Item Shop. View Green Video on the source website When could Tung Tung Tung Sahur come to Fortnite? While it hasn't been confirmed when Tung Tung Tung Sahur will be coming to Fortnite, prominent leaker Shiina reported on X that Tung Tung Tung Sahur may release in Fortnite on 1 April 2026. It seems highly unlikely that these Italian AI brainrot characters won't show up now they've been officially shown in a trailer for the new Showdown season. Time will tell, of course, and we'll update this page when more official information is revealed about Tung Tung Tung Sahur in Fortnite (and Ballerina Cappuccina!) – Keep your eyes peeled on Radio Times for all things Fortnite.

description: Au revoir to these three fan-favourites.
encoded: There's some bad news going around for Fortnite fans, with three game modes set to shut down later this year. But while the three modes are set to be axed, they're all shutting down at different times, so you might be struggling to figure out what's leaving and when. So, to help you out, here's a quick overview of the Fortnite game modes shutting down and what dates they're being cut. Which Fortnite game modes are shutting down? The three Fortnite game modes being shut down later this year are Rocket Racing, Fortnite Ballistic and Fortnite Festival Battle Stage. Unfortunately, while all of these game modes certainly have their fans, it just seems like they aren't worth Epic Games' time to support. That's especially true considering the gaming giant has just laid off more than 1,000 employees. But when do these three modes leave? Here's what you need to know. When does Rocket Racing shut down in Fortnite? Rocket Racing will be removed from Fortnite in October 2026. In the run-up to this, the game will no longer feature Rocket Racing Quests, the track creation template in UEFN, or Ranked rewards available. Fortunately, if you already own plenty of items in the mode, your Vehicle Locker will be left alone, and you can continue to drive your customised cars until the mode is removed. View Green Video on the source website When does Ballistic shut down in Fortnite? Fortnite Ballistic will be removed from the game on 16 April 2026. Until then, ranked Ballistic will continue to run, so that players can finish off the very last season of the mode. Furthermore, UEFN developers will be pleased to know that first-person shooter tools will remains to help developers build modes in the future like Ballistic. Extra tools such as custom weapon support, ranked support and additional matchmaking features will also be added to UEFN. When does Fortnite Festival Battle Stage shut down? Fortnite Festival Battle Stage will go offline on 16 April 2026. Until it does go offline, Quests wil…

encoded: With Chapter 7 Season 2 now in full swing, you will no doubt want to be beat every challenge and boss, and as such, we’ve got how to find and defeat the Ice King in Fortnite, as well as what loot he drops explained! The big premier feature of the new update is the Showdown Battle Pass. But that’s not all, as there is the upcoming Fortnite Arenas mode coming later in April. In the crossover of the ages, we’ll also be getting Tung Tung Tung Sahur and Ballerina Cappuccina of Italian Brainrot fame in Fortnite, who you may know from Steal a Brainrot on Roblox or Fortnite Steal the Brainrot. But you’re here for vanquishing the Ice King and Lady Windfrost, so read on to see just how to do that! Where is Ice King in Fortnite? Ice King and Lady Windfrost can be found patrolling main courtyard of the Frigid Fortress in the northern part of the island. A lot of players will be dropping in on his location, so we recommend landing at the top of the tower, as you will be able to get loot quicker, and you can pick up extra items on your way down to the Ice King and Lady Windfrost. During this time, other players may whittle down Ice King’s health or be dealt swiftly by them, but keep an eye on the Ice King’s health as you make your way down. How to defeat Ice King in Fortnite To defeat the Ice King, focus on quickly taking his shields down with an SMG or pistol, before finishing them off with a more powerful weapon such as an assault rifle or shotgun. The Ice King’s gloves are extremely powerful, and so you’ll want to make sure you have some cover between you so you can dodge their Ice attacks and extremely dangerous Ice Bomb. Lady Windfrost will also be part of the boss fight, but it’s not worth focusing on them, as they will automatically be downed when you defeat the Ice King. As we were popping in and out of cover at close range, we opted for a Rare Chaos Reloader Shotgun, which was ready to fire again by the time we came out of cover again. Soon enough, the King was dead. Dis…

encoded: Winter is coming to Fortnite with Epic Games announcing a surprise Game of Thrones collaboration. It's a great time for it, as while the original series has been long over, House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms are going strong. If you're after a strong start to your Battle Pass, be sure to check out some of the best Fortnite XP maps. But if you're looking forward to a Game of Thrones x Fortnite collab, here's when it comes out and what we can expect. Game of Thrones in Fortnite: Release date speculation and what to expect Epic Games has not confirmed when the Game of Thrones collaboration will release in Fortnite. However, according to leakers, the Game of Thrones Fortnite update could release later today on 20 March 2026. That being said, this is still just speculation, so take that with a grain of salt. As for what's going to be included, we do have a better idea as leakers have already shown off some of the incoming skins. Prominent leaker HYPEX revealed on X that Jon Snow and Night King Fortnite skins would be arriving as part of the update. Furthermore, while the skin itself has not been leaked yet, there will also reportedly be a skin for the Mother of Dragons herself, Daenerys Targaryen. As well as these three skins, we imagine that there will be a variety of additional cosmetics coming to the game. These will likely be a mixture of Emotes, Back Bling, Pickaxes, Gliders and more – you know, the standard Fortnite fare. It's a nice little update, considering some of the skins from the new Fortnite season are a tad lacklustre. That being said, we do have plenty of look forward to such as next month's return of the Fortnite Arenas mode.

Battle Pass confirmed Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 is titled 'Showdown', and has the theme of 1v1 rivalries, with the main storyline featuring a battle between the Foundation and the Ice King. You'll choose your side and whichever side wins at the end of the season will earn the Frost-Ready Foundation or Exalted Frost Ice King (if you have purchased the Battle Pass).

Suisei Fortnite skin release date Hoshimachi Suisei is coming to Fortnite Thursday 12 March 2026, according to leaks. Epic Games posted the news on X (formerly Twitter). View oEmbed on the source website Known Fortnite dataminer ShiinaBR, as usual, beat Epic Games to the punch by posting their findings first. With the supposed release date so soon, we should hear something from official channels fairly shortly about what to expect. But, leakers have got us covered there. Read on! What to expect from Suisei in Fortnite According to leaks from Dr Cacahuette and Wenso, Hoshimachi will have the following, as surmised by SpushFNBR: Outfit (with LEGO) Backbling Pickaxe (Suisei's Halberd) Emote (BIBBIDIBA) Microphone 2 Jam Tracks As for those Jam Tracks, they are BIBBIDIBA and Stellar Stellar. View oEmbed on the source website A teaser trailer that appears to have been broadcast on a train in Japan also shows off the BIBIIDIBA Emote.

description: He's Pickle Rick!
encoded: As we approach the next Fortnite season, we've got patch v39.51 to look forward to in today's Fortnite update. As the last major content update before the new season, it might not be the biggest patch in the world, but that doesn't mean there isn't plenty to look forward to. That means new cosmetics, returning items and more that we can expect once downtime ends. So, without further ado, here's what's in the patch notes for today's Fortnite update! Fortnite update today (5 March): What changes in the patch notes? Today's Fortnite update introduces some new and returning cosmetics to the game – most notably, another crossover with Rick and Morty. Teased with a short clip on Fortnite's social media, we can see that today's Item Shop will play host to the Rick Prime and Pickle Rick skins, as well as Squanchy and Mr Poopybutthole Sidekicks. View oEmbed on the source website We are also reportedly getting a crossover with the new Pixar animation Hoppers, although it hasn't been confirmed what exactly this will add. We're also going to see the return of some classic Fortnite items to the game, as another teaser on social media read: "OG classics make their return to Battle Royale!" Again, we haven't seen any confirmation as to what these OG classics will be, exactly, but it refers to some iconic Fornite weapons being added back into the loot pool. Beyond all this, it doesn't look like much else is coming in this update, likely because the team at Epic Games is hard at work preparing for the launch of Chapter 7 Season 2 in a couple of weeks. Fingers crossed, we might get a bit more news about The Visitor's upcoming return to The Seven as part of next season's story and the next Live Event.

encoded: Video game performer and part-time jester extraordinaire Ben Starr is on his way to Fortnite, the actor has confirmed. It's been a rather spectacular few years for Starr, who, after shooting to prominence as Clive in Final Fantasy 16, has gone on to play the likes of Prometheus in Hades 2 and Balatro's Jimbo at various live events. Now, nearly a year on from perhaps his best role yet as Verso in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Starr is set to join Fortnite's iconic The Seven as The Visitor. In a post on X, Starr wrote "I'm joining Fortnite as The Visitor. I'm so excited to bring back this iconic member of The Seven. I imagine I'll be very normal about it," alongside an image of him gazing lovingly at The Visitor's in-game model. View oEmbed on the source website This collection of intergalactic heroes typically poke their heads into the game during Live Events, helping put an end to whatever chaotic goings on are threatening the Fortnite world at that time. Having taken a break from the story in 2022, The Seven were brought back in style during last year's Zero Hour Live Event. The Visitor himself was first introduced to the game in the first ever Live Event back in 2018, but ceased to exist after being Chromed in Chapter 3 Season 4. Starr's version of The Visitor is, therefore, a new incarnation, arriving from a separate reality. Starr joins The Seven alongside plenty of other heavy hitters, including leader The Foundation (Dwayne Johnson), The Paradigm (Brie Larsen), The Scientist (Joel McHale), The Origin (Rahul Kohli), The Order (Laura Bailey) and The Imagined (Cherami Leigh). The Visitor is set to make his triumphant return to Battle Royale Island in time for the upcoming Live Event, rounding out the current season in preparation of the start of Chapter 7 Season 2.

description: Level up wearing Solo Levelling skins, either solo, or with friends.
encoded: Fans of Korean monster hunting are set to eat good this week, as by all accounts, we're going to see Solo Leveling in Fortnite, and we’ve got some release date speculation to find out exactly when, as well as what to expect in terms of content. First published in 2016, Solo Leveling has massively grown, with webtoon adaptations, animes and even a live-action series in the works. It’s just as well that we’re getting some Solo Leveling action now, as series producer Sota Furuhashi wants a 3-year hiatus before season 3. They’ve even taken to Reddit to ask fans for help to get season 3 made. It’s likely to happen, however, given just how big of a hit it’s been on Crunchyroll. But, with all that said, let’s see exactly when we can expect Solo Leveling in Fortnite! Solo Leveling in Fortnite release date speculation Solo Leveling skins will come to Fortnite Thursday 19 February 2026, according to leaks. Rumours about the collaboration started to emerge in recent days, but then the official Fortnite account posted a teaser on X (formerly Twitter). View oEmbed on the source website Given that the next Fortnite update is 19 February and Epic Games is teasing Solo Leveling a couple of days beforehand, it’s likely that it will be this date. If any sort of delay happens, or we get an actual confirmation, we will let you know in due time. Solo Leveling in Fortnite: what to expect According to AdiraFNInfo on X, a known Fortnite leaker, the Solo Levelling collaboration will potentially feature Sung Jin-woo, Cha Hae-in, and Igris or Beru skins. Fellow leaker HYPEX shared the findings on X. View oEmbed on the source website Of course, none of this is actually confirmed, and we have yet to see any datamined assets, so this is, as always, to be taken with a pinch of salt. However, HYPEX and AdiraFNInfo rarely miss, and it’s usually a safe bet that what they reveal will likely come to fruition. Once an official announcement is made, we will update this page with all the juicy details! V…

Certainly, there is plenty to tide us over until Chapter 7: Season 2, and there will be even more on the way later in February. And if you missed it, Regular Show was added to Fortnite, but the bundle is only available for purchase until 6th February, so act fast! But if you're ready to sink your canine teeth into the side of this update's neck (hint, hint), read on! Fortnite update today (5th February): What changes in the v39.40 patch notes First off, there are some big crossovers in Fortnite v39.40, with the Pink Piny Club coming to the Island and Fortnite Festival with none other than Chappell Roan. Roan gets three skins, two Pink Pony Club-inspired dos that are Red and Pink, and also the Roan of Arc skin, inspired by her performance of Good Luck Babe at the 2024 VMAs. There’s also a new Fortnite Festival lobby that ties in with her Medieval-glam theme. The song Pink Pony Club has been added to the Fortnite Festival Season 13 tracklist, with Good Luck, Babe!, HOT TO GO!, and The Giver returning as well. Later on the 6th of February, as part of Love and legends, we get new HUNTR/X Outfits for Rumi, Zoey and Mira, based on the group's Golden looks. Jinu of the Saja Boys is present too, with an all-new Demon Jinu alt style. There are also a couple of new items, such as the Flowberry Mist Grenade, which hides your location whilst topping up your shields. Other players who venture into the cloud of mist succumb to the effects of low gravity, making it a great defensive tool. The Enforcer and Tactical assault rifle now do more damage, with SMGs also receiving larger ammo capacities and dishing out more hurt, making them a lot more useful. The Sovereign Shotgun and Tactical Pistol also receive a buff to their damage output. There is also the lon…

encoded: One of the most underrated shows around, Regular Show is set for a crossover with Fortnite. Chronicling the bizarro adventures of Mordecai and Rigby, and their equally madcap friends, Regular Show is certainly an unexpected collab, but not an unwelcome one. So, with a Regular Show x Fortnite crossover now confirmed, here's what you need to know about the release date and what to expect. Regular Show in Fortnite release date The Regular Show x Fortnite collaboration will be released on 30th January 2026. While a window of around a week had initially been suggested by leakers, the official date was confirmed by Epic Games in a teaser trailer posted to social media. View oEmbed on the source website The trailer features Mordecai and Rigby yelling for 12 seconds in various locations on Battle Royale Island while the players around them go down. What to expect from Regular Show in Fortnite Epic Games hasn't explicitly confirmed what's coming in the Regular Show update to Fortnite, but thanks to the aforementioned trailer and information from leakers, we have a pretty good idea. Dataminer Blortzen posted a list of cosmetics set to be added to the game via X. The cosmetics in question are: Mordecai Mordecai skin (with LEGO style) Back Bling Pickaxe Skips Skips skin (with LEGO style) Back Bling Fist of Justice Pickaxe Rigby Rigby Sidekick (with I'm Eggscelent Trucker Hat style), and VFX Emote Banner As well as all of this, there will be two Emotes added to the game. The first is Mordecai and Rigby's "Ohhhhhh", while the second is a skipping emote. As for how much this will all cost, we aren't too sure, but we imagine that both skins will be available for 1,500 V-Bucks, while the Rigby Sidekick will cost around 1,200 V-Bucks. Emotes, Back Blings and Pickaxes will all cost between 300-800 V-Bucks, and there will be bundles available for players to purchase the whole package for between 3,000-4,000 V-Bucks.

Fittingly, just as all of Kenny's words are muffled by his enormous hood in the show, Kenny's quests have been muffled too, so it's almost impossible to work out what you're supposed to be doing. The key word there is 'almost', as we've got full translations for you, and it turns out that Kenny's quests aren't too difficult at all. So, without further ado, here's the full list of Kenny quests and how to complete them. Kenny Fortnite quests: Full list and how to complete them There are six total Kenny Quests to complete in Fortnite, each of which has a clue to go along with it. Here is the full list of Kenny Quests, what they mean and how to complete them: Mph mpphmmph – "I'm an angel keeping watch over the city at night." Head to the pylon in the north of Battlewood Boulevard Mmmmpmpph mmhhmph – "In Loving Memory, Kenny McCormick." Use Kenny's Respawn Token to respawn one time Mph mpmphh mmmph – "I'm being serious. I really, really can't die." Be revived by teammates three times Mphmmph mhhmmph – "Use your ninja star!" Hit 10 headshots on opponents Mmmh mpphh mmmph – "Wee! He can fly! He can fly!" Travel 200 metres while in the air Mph mph mhppmmph – "My followers shall help me see through until I am accepted as a princess by all." Hire an NPC Completing each of the individual Kenny Quests will net you 400 Cred towards your Born in Chaos Pass, while completing four out of the six will earn you a Memberberry reward. Six Memberberries are required to unlock the Imaginationland Airship Glider, so it's worth putting the time in to earn this one!

We've got some incredible collabs coming along, as well as the customary cosmetics and even a new game mode. So, if you're curious what you have to look forward to in patch v39.30, here's what you need to know. Fortnite update today (22nd January): What changes in the v39.30 patch notes Let's get started with the collaborations, because boy is it a big one. Fortnite is introducing a crossover with The Office US, following a recent teaser posted to official Fortnite social media accounts. Two new skins are set to be added to the game, and while it hasn't been officially confirmed, it has been widely reported that the duo will be Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute. We may also get an Office POI on the map itself, although this has also not been confirmed. This update will also reportedly see the addition of some Looney Tunes character skins. We don't know which ones, as of yet, but it's safe to assume that Bugs Bunny will be in there at the very least. A new limited time game mode is set to be added today, called Fall Guys Crown Jam. It's a 3v3 LTM, described by Epic Games as a cross between basketball, American football and an obstacle course, and will be available until 9th February. Beyond all that, today will reportedly see the return of KPop Demon Hunters skins to the Item Shop, and potentially even a second wave of skins to go with them. Lastly, as with any Fortnite update, patch v39.30 will introduce some tweaks and bug fixes, such as lag in the Lobby and Locker menus, delays when using Emotes, and being unable to Reboot teammates in-game.

encoded: The good denizens of Scranton are set to get some Fortnite representation, with The Office reportedly getting its own crossover. The ongoing South Park event means we're already right in the middle of one TV comedy event, but Epic Games can never sit still. So, when could The Office x Fortnite release, and what skins are we getting? Here's what we know so far. The Office x Fortnite release date speculation At the time of writing, The Office x Fortnite has no confirmed release date, but the crossover has now been confirmed by Fortnite, with the official social media channels posting the a reference to the show with the message "Build. Beets. Battle Royale". However, according to noted leaked HYPEX, the new content will be added to the game files on 22nd January, suggesting a release date during the following week of 22nd-28th January. The news originally came from SamLeakss on X, via AdiraFNInfo, who reported that a "nostalgic duo from a live-action TV series" would be added into Fortnite next week. A few hours after this news broke, Adira teased that it was The Office with a a GIF of Michael Scott, with fellow leaker ShiinaBR confirming the same news in a YouTube video. What to expect from The Office x Fortnite: All leaked skins At the moment, it hasn't been confirmed by Epic Games what's coming in the update, but our good friend Adira has reported some insider knowledge. According to a recent post, Fortnite is foregoing skins for Jim and Pam, instead opting to add Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute into the game. This makes sense, as previous reports had suggested that "an iconic duo" would be added into the game, and Michael and Dwight certainly fit the bill.

encoded: Ahead of the release of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple later this week, the film is celebrating the occasion by getting its very own Fortnite collab. If you haven't caught up with 28 Years Later yet, then there's still time to do so before the sequel arrives – although you could just play some Fortnite instead. It's far from the first time Fortnite has done a movie collab – we're currently in the midst of a whole Hollywood season, after all – but the 28 Days Later series is certainly one of the more unexpected films to hit the game. But nothing is too unexpected for Fortnite, so here's when the 28 Years Later x Fortnite collab releases, what's included in the crossover and how to get all the new items. 28 Years Later x Fortnite release date The 28 Years Later x Fortnite collaboration is now out, having released on 13th January 2026. The collab was added with the latest Fortnite Item Shop update, at around midnight GMT – the evening of the 12th for those of you in the Americas. It's not a surprise, though, with the next film in the series releasing later in the week! What's in the 28 Years Later Fortnite collab and how to get it Unfortunately, no skins were added to the game as part of this crossover, with players instead getting a Bundle containing two items. These are: Bio Hazard Back Bling Vertebasher Pickaxe The Bio Hazard Back Bling costs 500 V-Bucks, while the Vertebasher Pickaxe costs 800 V-Bucks. The Years of Rage Bundle contains both, and is 1,300 V-Bucks, although for a limited time, players can purchase it for a discounted 1,000 V-Bucks instead. Still, it's a shame we won't get Ralph Fiennes in Fortnite – maybe next time, eh? Check out more of our Gaming coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

The map is getting an overhaul as well, with the Wonkeeland POI receiving a big update, turning into Cartmanland for the event. In terms of new weapons, the highlight is certainly the Stick of Truth Mythic, although what it actually does is yet to be determined. Other South Park items are also joining the game, such as the Cheesy Poofs Consumable, which was first shown-off in the event's teaser trailer. There will also be a brand-new Rift Anomaly for players to check out, called 'Everyone Kills Kenny'. As well as all of this South Park content, according to the reputable Fortnite Leaks X account, we're set to receive a new Blitz update and map, new Reload loot pool, and some new and unvaulted weapons.

In December 2025, X account HYPEX revealed that not only is a South Park collaboration on the way, but it's set to be a big one too (more on that down below). What to expect from the South Park x Fortnite crossover: All South Park skins The highlight of the collaboration is a set of five new South Park skins in Fortnite. These skins are: Stan Kyle Kenny Cartman Butters (Professor Chaos) Since they're all kids, these will all be mech skins, similar to the treatment Bart got in the recent Simpsons crossover. These skins will likely cost 1,500 V-Bucks each, or be available as part of a larger South Park Bundle. As well as that, it looks like Towelie will be joining the game as a Sidekick, although this has not been confirmed.

encoded: It's the most wonderful time of the year – Fortnite Winterfest 2025 is about to start! Giving the map a snowy, festive makeover, Fortnite Winterfest 2025 will deliver some gifts to the people of Battle Royale Island, including some rumoured Harry Potter and Hatsune Miku collabs. It's the latest update in what has already been a bumper Chapter 7 Season 1, which has even seen a brand-new lost Kill Bill chapter premiere. But if you want to know what time Fortnite Winterfest 2025 starts in your time zone, here's what you need to know. When is Fortnite Winterfest 2025? Release date and UK start time Fortnite Winter Fest 2025 is scheduled to start on Thursday, 18th December 2025 at roughly 1-2pm GMT. We don't know the exact time that the event will start, as this depends on how long Fortnite's downtime lasts, but based on previous events, we think that 1-2pm GMT is a good estimate. If you're in a different time zone, here's what time we think Fortnite Winterfest 2025 will begin for you: US West Coast (PST) – 5-6am US Mountain (MST) – 6-7am US Central (CST) – 7-8am US East Coast (EST) – 8-9am Central Europe (CET) – 2-3pm Japan (JST) – 10-11pm Australia East Coast (AEDT) – 12-1am, 19th December New Zealand (NZDT) – 2-3am, 19th December What to expect from Fortnite Winterfest 2025 According to Fortnite leaker HYPEX (who is rarely wrong), there will be a Harry Potter collaboration in Fortnite, which will include skins and a Broom Mythic at least. View oEmbed on the source website The skin has already leaked, which you can see below: View oEmbed on the source website A broom would let players fly around the map, and we wouldn’t be surprised if there was a Golden Snitch to catch during rounds, either. We already had the Witch’s Broom way back in Chapter 2, so we’ve already got an idea of how a Nimbus 2000 might function in Fortnite.

description: Should’ve seen this one coming!
encoded: Yep, you read the correctly. Kim Kardashian is coming to Fortnite, with the reality TV star being the latest real-world celebrity to be honoured as a ‘Fortnite Icon’. Not content with having a hit show on Disney Plus and training to be a lawyer, not to mention her numerous other business interests, Kim K has somehow found time to sign off on a Fortnite collab. In fact, she even took the time to appear in a trailer for the collaboration herself, which you don't always see when famous faces are plonked into Fortnite. So, when will Kim Kardashian arrive in Fortnite, and what should you expect from her arrival? Keep on reading and we’ll answer those questions for you! When is the Kim Kardashian Fortnite release date? The release date for Kim Kardashian’s Fortnite collaboration is Saturday 13th December 2025, Epic Games has confirmed. Here in the UK, however, you’ll have to wait until Sunday 14th December, due to the magic of time difference. Epic has even been so kind as to furnish us with an exact launch time! The collab will launch for American players at 7pm ET on Saturday, which means that, here in the UK, the content should become available at midnight going into Sunday 14th December. To get a taste in the meantime, check out the official trailer below! View oEmbed on the source website What to expect from Kim Kardashian in Fortnite So, what’s this collab all about? Considering Kim Kardashian’s fashion credentials, it shouldn’t come as any surprise that there are a couple of different outfits involved! There will be the Kim Kardashian outfit (including a white jacket that you can toggle on or off) and the Iconic Kim Kardashian outfit (which offers over 25 variations including different hairstyles, colour-ways and jewellery). Both of these Kim Kardashian skins will be available in the Fortnite Item Shop, as will a number of accessories (there’s a backpack, a jetplane-themed glider, and the Ring Light To Go Back Bling). There will also be two emotes. One called Slurp…

encoded: Gaming is far from immune when it comes to Spotify Wrapped-inspired statistical analysis, and now, Fortnite fans can even get a dose of data to round off the year. Other gaming versions of this sort of thing include Discord Checkpoint (which will tell you who you’ve been messaging the most) and Steam Replay (which will tell you what games you’ve sunk the most hours into this year). Fortnite, interestingly, hasn’t yet revealed an official way to see your stats for the year. But that hasn’t stopped fans from taking those matters into their own hands with a fun third-party tool. So, let’s get to it. How do you see your Fortnite Wrapped stats this year? We’ll explain it all for you right now. How to see your Fortnite Wrapped stats To see your Fortnite Wrapped stats for 2025, you need to head over to Fortnite.gg and type in your Epic ID name. It’s worth noting that this is not an official Epic Games website, but it seems to be plugged into a public database of Fortnite information and you don’t have to sign over any details about yourself to take a little look. Before you put your Epic name in, you can also see some global leaderboards and get some understanding of what elite-level play looks like. Don’t feel too bad if you’re some ways off of those numbers, though! What to expect from Fortnite Wrapped Once you’re looking at your own Fortnite Wrapped, what can you expect to see? The following stats should all be available: Total hours played Number of matches Number of wins Number of kills Percentage breakdown of which seasons you played the most How all of the above compares to the average player For a fan-made tool, that’s not a bad amount of data! Make sure to grab a screenshot, save it somewhere, and check back next year to see if you can beat those numbers. We believe in you!
