EsDeeKid in Fortnite: Release date and how to get the skin

Another day, another Fortnite music collab as British rapper EsDeeKid is getting his own skin.

He'll join the likes of Travis Scott, Eminem, Juice WRLD, Ice Spice and more, who have already got their own skins in the game.

So, if you're wondering when the EsDeeKid skin will release and how to get it, here's what you need to know.

When is the Fortnite x EsDeeKid skin release date

The EsDeeKid Fortnite skin will release on 15 May 2026, according to leakers.

This news was reported by prominent leaker ShiinaBR on X. Naturally, this should be taken with a grain of salt, but considering how accurate Shiina typically is, we think it's safe to assume that this information is correct.

The skin will be released as part of the new Fortnite v40.40 update.

What to expect from EsDeeKid in Fortnite

Like with previous collaborations with music artists in Fortnite, we can at the very least expect to see an EsDeeKid skin.

Along with this, we think it's likely that at least one EsDeeKid song will be added to the game as a Jam Track.

We may also get some other cosmetics such as Emotes, Back Bling, Pickaxes and more, but we'll have to wait and see!

How to get the EsDeeKid skin in Fortnite explained

The EsDeeKid skin will be available in the Fortnite Item Shop.

While the price hasn't been confirmed yet, we expect that it could cost anywhere from 1,500-1,800 V-Bucks to purchase it on its own.

However, it will likely also be available as a bundle with other EsDeeKid items, which could cost as much as 3,200 V-Bucks depending on what's included, as previous bundles like the Chappell Roan Bundle have in the past.
