Epic Video games has run a number of “purchase this recreation on the Epic Video games Retailer and get a Fortnite pores and skin” promotions through the years, but it surely appears the Fortnite creator has determined to do much more of that form of factor in 2026, beginning in March with Resident Evil Requiem and Crimson Desert. Steve Allison, normal supervisor for EGS, proclaimed in January that the corporate hopes to supply as many as 100 of those offers yearly. That’s fairly a ramp-up, since Fortnite has hardly ever had multiple or two of those kinds of promos working without delay previously.
A lot of those offers will supply skins, however a few of these gaming collabs will give attention to accessories–like Dumb Methods to Die, a cellular recreation, providing a again bling and an emote. Whereas that exact promo has ended, you possibly can anticipate at the very least a number of the upcoming collaborations to be of an identical scale, significantly with cheaper indie video games.
Earlier than we have a look at what the collaborations truly are, let’s discuss in regards to the floor guidelines.
How these Fortnite gaming collaborations will truly work
The premise with these offers is that for those who purchase considered one of these video games on the Epic Video games Retailer, whether or not at full worth or on sale, you’ll obtain a beauty merchandise or bundle of things in Fortnite. It may embrace a pores and skin, an emote, a glider, or every other sort of Fortnite beauty. This solely works for purchases made by Epic, which is simply on PC and cellular. Console variations don’t apply, and neither does a recreation purchased on Steam or every other digital storefront.
All the things included with these collaborations will even be obtainable for direct buy from the Fortnite merchandise store as soon as they’re formally launched. In case you purchase a pores and skin that approach, after which later purchase the sport it belonged to, you may get a refund in V-Bucks for the merchandise. For instance, for those who purchase the Grace pores and skin from Resident Evil Requiem from the merchandise store, after which later choose up Requiem itself, you may get 1,500 V-Bucks again.
On the opposite facet of it, if you are going to buy Resident Evil Requiem for the Grace pores and skin, after which refund the sport, additionally, you will lose entry to the pores and skin. So do not attempt to get cute with the clawbacks–it will not get you very far.
In contrast to promos like these that Epic ran previously, which normally ran for a 12 months, this new wave has no expiration date and can proceed so long as the video games can be found on EGS. No matter whether or not you unlock a pores and skin this manner or purchase it from the merchandise store, nevertheless, you may nonetheless maintain the pores and skin completely even when the sport is faraway from Epic’s storefront. And since this can be a long-term deal, you would wait till the sport in query is accessible for a reduction and nonetheless get the pores and skin.
Now that we have got the foundations out of the way in which, let us take a look at what we have got.
