Fortnite Playboi Carti skin release date, price, and more

The wait is officially over for the next major Fortnite crossover, with rap superstar Playboi Carti being confirmed to drop into the game. The collaboration is essentially scheduled for Thursday, December 11, 2025, and it will bring themed items related to the artist.

This special release coincides with the game's next v39.10 update, which also introduced the LEGO Ninjago content and the return of Fortnite OG Season 7. In the section below, you'll find all the details you need about the Playboy Carti Fortnite skin.

Fortnite x Playboi Carti release date and timing

The Fortnite x Playboi Carti crossover is officially scheduled for December 11, 2025. The cosmetics are expected to hit the Item Shop when the shop rotates, which usually happens at around 7:00 PM ET.

The Item Shop release will be taking place following the deployment of the v39.10 patch, which is anticipated to roll out in the early morning hours (around 4:00 AM ET).

Carti joins the ranks of other top-tier music artists like Travis Scott and Eminem in the exclusive Icon Series. Here is what you can expect from the Playboy Carti x Fortnite collaboration:

• Special outfit: The primary cosmetic will be the themed Playboi Carti skin. Although the final design sparked controversy online during an alleged early look at the "Zero Hour" event, the skin features his signature dreadlocks, face tattoos, and distinctive style.
• Music and accessories: The collaboration is also centered around Carti’s music. Leaks confirm the song "EVIL J0RDAN" will be released as a new Jam Track for the Fortnite Festival mode. The bundle is also expected to include an Icon Emote, a back bling, and a pickaxe.

Fortnite x Playboi Carti price and bundle

The pricing of the Playboi Carti cosmetics is expected to align with other popular Icon Series artists. Listed below are the prices that you can expect for the same:

• Standalone skin: The primary Playboi Carti costume is likely to cost around 1,500 V-Bucks.
• Full bundle: The complete bundle, which will include the skin, accessories, and the Jam Track, is estimated to be priced around 2,500 V-Bucks.
• Jam Track: The "EVIL J0RDAN" Jam Track will likely be sold separately for 500 V-Bucks.

Given that collaborations like this are rare and the skin may not return to the Item Shop soon, you are advised to save their V-Bucks for the December 11 drop. Once made available, you can buy the exclusive skin inside Fortnite.
