Playboi Carti Fortnite Skin Release Date

Epic Games recently revealed the first glimpse of Playboi Carti’s upcoming collaboration with Fortnite during the Zero Hour event. The reveal confirmed the rumors that the rapper would join the battle royale’s lineup of major music crossovers, placing him alongside artists who have previously appeared in the game.

While an official release date for the skin remains unannounced, the debut generated excitement and speculation about its eventual arrival. Fans now have an early look at how the artist is represented in-game, marking another significant moment where Fortnite merges gaming with popular music culture.

First look at the Playboi Carti Fortnite skin

During the Zero Hour live event, players experienced a brief crossover moment before being transported to a digital basketball court. Once there, their avatars shifted into versions of Playboi Carti, each surrounded by others resembling the rapper. The track EVIL J0RDAN played in the background as the main avatar performed basketball-inspired moves under bright arena lights.

A detailed leak following the event revealed the outfit’s complete design. The skin portrays Playboi Carti wearing a vivid blue basketball jersey marked with “I AM MUSIC” across the chest and “Carti” across the back. Both sides feature the number 00, and the attire is paired with suspenders, a metallic “I AM MUSIC” belt buckle, and tan boots resembling Timberlands.

Leaks suggest that the upcoming collaboration includes two unique skins, two instruments, and several Jam Tracks tied to Carti’s aesthetic.

When will the skin be available for purchase?

The Playboi Carti outfit is set to arrive as part of Fortnite’s Icon Series during Chapter 7 Season 1, which started on November 29, 2025. While Epic Games has not given a firm release date, players can expect it to appear in the Item Shop instead of being tied to Fortnite Festival events.
