Epic Games has confirmed a new collaboration between Fortnite and Formula 1, bringing motorsport-inspired content to the popular battle royale game. The partnership introduces racing-themed outfits and accessories modeled after real F1 teams and sponsors, giving players a chance to showcase their enthusiasm for the sport in a virtual setting.
The crossover does not include likenesses of current drivers but focuses on team-branded gear and themed Emotes previewed in the official trailer. Scheduled to release later this month, the update expands Fortnite’s growing list of real-world collaborations by merging competitive racing culture with the game’s dynamic and creative environment.
F1 Fortnite Collaboration: Launch Details and Early Look
The Fortnite and Formula 1 crossover arrives on Thursday, November 20, 2025, at 7 p.m. ET, introducing a collection of racer-themed skins and gear. Players can select from five default outfits, each customizable with various team colors and sponsor options such as Red Bull, Mercedes, Ferrari, and McLaren. Every outfit also includes a toggle for wearing or removing the F1 helmet.
Cosmetic Highlights:
| Item Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Glider | Styled after an F1 car’s rear wing assembly |
| Pickaxe | Designed as a Formula 1 wheel |
| Emote | Features a remote-controlled mini race car |
This collaboration mirrors previous Fortnite crossovers in design approach, combining motorsport visuals with the game’s signature style. The customization options give players flexibility to represent their favorite racing teams while maintaining the fast-paced aesthetic expected from both brands.
How much will the skins cost?
Epic Games has not confirmed the pricing for the upcoming F1 collaboration skins in Fortnite. Based on past collaborations, players can estimate a likely range. For comparison, Ghostbusters outfits were priced at 800 V-Bucks, while Tron: Legacy cosmetics reached 1,500 V-Bucks each. The F1 collection may align closer to the higher end due to its premium branding and multiple team representations.
| Previous Collaboration | Approximate Price (V-Bucks) |
|---|---|
| Ghostbusters | 800 |
| Tron: Legacy | 1,500 |
| Estimated F1 Skins | 1,200–1,500 (expected) |
The trailer highlighted several major sponsors and teams, including:
- Ferrari
- Red Bull
- Mercedes
- McLaren
- Aston Martin
- Williams
- Haas
- Alpine
The inclusion of these brands suggests each design could feature distinct customization options, potentially influencing pricing. Fans anticipate the cosmetic set to appear in the Item Shop shortly after the collaboration’s official launch.
