Tron Ares has landed in Fortnite, but grabbing this neon-soaked legend is trickier than spotting an enemy in the storm-here’s exactly how to get the skin, what it costs, and which cosmetic extras come with this futuristic icon from Epic Games.
This past weekend, with update 37.40, players finally got a smashing collab with KPop Demon Hunters, where skins for all three characters, Rumi, Zoey, and Mira, were released in the shop. Alongside the collab, players also got a Demon Rush mode with KPop Demon Hunters mythics to use in BR matches.
As the hype has just begun, Epic is unleashing yet another collab with the upcoming movie Tron Ares, and here’s how you can get the skin and all collab-related items.
Tron Ares Fortnite Collab Release Date
The Tron Ares Fortnite collab is expected to launch in late January 2026, bringing the futuristic warrior from the Tron universe into Epic Games’ battle royale. As with previous crossover events, players can expect the Tron Ares skin to appear in the Item Shop for a limited time, alongside themed accessories such as a back bling and pickaxe. The release will likely coincide with a new in-game event or update, giving fans a fresh opportunity to expand their collection of cosmetic items inspired by sci-fi legends.
Tron Ares crossover in Fortnite will release on October 7, 2025, at 7 PM ET, which means the collab will be dropped with the Item Shop reset for that day.
This means that three days prior to the film’s theatrical release, players will be able to enjoy the collab cosmetics in the game and grab some Victory Royales!
All Fortnite Tron Ares Cosmetic Items and Expected Price
Fortnite’s Tron Ares collection features the Tron Ares skin as its centerpiece, alongside matching Ares Cycle glider, Nova helmet, and Legacy back bling. Players can grab the Ares Disc wrap and Tron react for extra flair, with rare items like the Grid Trail and Light Cycle trail rounding out the set. Expect the full bundle to cost 2800 V-Bucks, or snag the skin solo for 2000 V-Bucks when it hits the Item Shop.
The Twitter only includes one skin, mainly of its titular character, Ares, played by Jared Leto, and accompanying cosmetic items. While the prices for these have not been revealed, we’ve listed down the speculated prices based on past crossovers and the Fortnite pricing trend lately:
- Ares (Tron) Outfit with 3 Selectable Styles and Dillinger Disc Back Bling: 1,500 V-Bucks (includes LEGO style)
- Ares’ Staff Pickaxe: 800 V-Bucks
- Dillinger Disc Pickaxe: 800 V-Bucks
- Jump Jet Glider: 1,500 V-Bucks
- Lil’ Light Bike Emote: 500 V-Bucks
- Portal Beam Emote: 500 V-Bucks
- Out of Tron Wrap: 300 V-Bucks

When did the latest release launch globally
The Tron Ares skin launched globally in Fortnite’s Item Shop on October 7, 2025, as part of the Tron: Ares collaboration bundle.
Launch Details
This marked the initial worldwide release, with all cosmetics (outfit, pickaxes, glider, emotes, and wrap) available simultaneously across all platforms and regions without delays. Epic Games rolled it out in the Featured tab for a limited time before rotating out.
