From legendary pop icons to unexpected movie crossovers, 2025 gave Fortnite some of its boldest and most talked-about collaborations yet-each reshaping the game’s culture and fan experience in unforgettable ways.
As the year draws to a close and the Winterfest 2025 event is going strong, let’s take a stroll down memory lane and discuss some Fortnite collaborations of 2025 that impacted the game in a big way.
MonsterVerse
Fortnite’s MonsterVerse crossover unleashed Godzilla and King Kong as playable giants, letting players stomp across the island in massive battles against rivals. New skins, emotes mimicking iconic roars, and a limited-time mode with destructible environments captured the thrill of epic kaiju clashes. This collab spiked player counts and sparked fan creations, cementing its spot among 2025’s boldest partnerships.
Fortnite saw the release of the MonsterVerse event in January 2025, bringing kaiju action straight to Chapter 6 Season 1. This collab added Godzilla as a skin in the Chapter 6 Season 1 Battle Pass. Additionally, it also allowed players to become Godzilla himself during a match. Turning into Godzilla gave players multiple monstrous abilities and a massive health bar. This allowed them to wreak havoc on the Island while others tried to take the kaiju down.
The collab even introduced new medallions for both Godzilla and Kong, further impacting the meta of Chapter 6 Season 1. The gameplay additions, alongside the release of the Kong and Mechagodzilla skins, made the MonsterVerse collab a great crossover to start Chapter 6 with. Godzilla and Kong even showed up during the Chapter 6 finale event, helping players take down the Dark Presence in one last hoorah.
Hatsune Miku
Hatsune Miku’s arrival in Fortnite turned heads across both gaming and music communities. The virtual idol brought her signature style, colorful aesthetic, and infectious energy to the island through themed skins, emotes, and concert-inspired events. Fans celebrated the crossover not only for its visual appeal but also for how seamlessly her digital persona fit into Fortnite’s creative universe, proving that pop culture icons can thrive in interactive spaces just as they do on stage.
Hatsune Miku, one of the world’s most popular virtual icons, made her way to Fortnite with Fortnite Festival Season 7. The singer’s inclusion complemented the Chapter 6 Season 1 theme. It allowed players to embody her Vocaloid persona on the stage and the battlefield. Not only did Hatsune Miku receive a classic skin in the Fortnite Item Shop, but she also received a “Neko Hatsune Miku” variant.
All of this, mixed with her popular tracks being featured as Jam Tracks, made Hatsune Miku’s arrival on the island one for the books. Even now, with the release of Chapter 7, players can acquire the Snow Miku skin, further expanding Hatsune’s presence in the Fortnite ecosystem.
Jujutsu Kaisen
Epic Games and Jujutsu Kaisen collide in Fortnite with a bold mix of spellbinding abilities, stylish outfits, and map-altering twists that reshape how players approach battles and collaborations.
Epic Games continued to expand Fortnite’s roster of anime collaborations in 2025 with the release of the second wave of the Jujutsu Kaisen skins in Chapter 6 Season 1. The collab brought the infamous Ryomen Sukuna, Toji Fushiguro, and Mahito to the island. The primary antagonists of the famous manga/anime have long been awaited by fans of the series. Unfortunately, the crossover didn’t bring any special Mythics or gameplay changes. However, it did expand the JJK roster in the game, leaving room for other characters of the series to join in down the line.
Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter’s collaboration with Fortnite in 2025 fused her musical energy with the battle royale’s vibrant, evolving universe, sparking crossover events that resonated beyond in-game skins and playlists. Her presence helped blur the lines between pop aesthetics and interactive play, leaving players buzzing and creators inspired to push the boundaries of what a creator-brand partnership can feel like.
Keeping the train going of Fortnite collaborations with music stars in 2025, Sabrina Carpenter arrived on the Island with Fortnite Festival Season 8. The singer served as the Icon for the Music Pass, and players could embody the “Espresso” superstar and perform her hits live on stage. The crossover even included a Dance With Sabrina LTM within the Festival game mode. The Sabrina Carpenter skin was even responsible for one of many Fortnite highlights in 2025.
The collaboration also featured another skin for Sabrina called Tour-Ready Sabrina Carpenter. This skin was released into the Item Shop, alongside unique emotes, back blings, and, of course, a Jam Track. Additionally, Sabrina’s collaboration with Fortnite returned for the holiday season, with the release of the festive Santa Sabrina skin.
Star Wars Mini Season (Galactic Battle)
The Star Wars Mini Season: Galactic Battle brought an epic crossover that thrilled both Fortnite and Star Wars fans. Players could join forces with Jedi or Sith factions, wield lightsabers, and explore themed challenges that tied directly to iconic moments from the saga. The limited-time event also introduced exclusive cosmetics, custom missions, and cinematic quests that turned every match into a piece of galactic warfare. Its mix of lore, visuals, and gameplay variety made it one of the most talked-about collaborations of 2025.
One of Fortnite’s biggest 2025 collaborations was the first mini-season of Chapter 6, which featured a month-long Star Wars-themed season. The collaboration brought with it a Battle Pass filled to the brim with Star Wars characters. Iconic characters like General Grievous and Emperor Palpatine made their debut in the Battle Pass. Not only that, but the Fortnite map also had Star Wars-themed locations as well as weapons throughout the mini-season.
Players could take charge of X-Wings and TIE Fighters and wield the iconic lightsabers and blasters in battle. The Star Wars Mini Season was bookended by the massive Death Star Sabotage live event. The event featured the Loopers banding together to take down the Empire in a massive battle. The crossover even included the premiere of Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld in its own dedicated experience.
All of these elements, mixed with a second Star Wars-themed LEGO Fortnite Pass, made Galactic Battle one of the most ambitious Fortnite collaborations in 2025.
Superman
Superman’s presence helped redefine collaborations, blending iconic DC lore with Fortnite’s evolving universe and expanding how players experience crossover events.
In celebration of James Gunn’s Superman movie, Epic Games brought a new Superman skin to the Chapter 6 Season 3 Battle Pass, with the skin’s release date being tied to the release of the movie. The new collab also featured a Superman Mythic ability, which allowed players to become the Man of Steel himself.
Additionally, the collaboration also brought other characters from the movie to the game. This includes Mr. Terrific and The Engineer, further expanding the game’s collection of DC characters. Finally, Superman’s best friend, Krypto the Superdog, was also added to the game. Players could use an item called Krypto Treat. Using this item would summon Krypto as he slams down onto the ground. The release of the movie and this collaboration made 2025 a great year for Superman and Fortnite fans alike.
Squid Game
The Squid Game crossover brought a thrilling survival twist to Fortnite, combining the tension of the hit series with the game’s competitive energy. Players faced themed challenges inspired by the show’s iconic trials, competing for rewards that mirrored the intensity and suspense of the original. The limited-time mode and exclusive skins made the event one of the most talked-about collaborations of the year, blending strategy, chaos, and style in perfect balance.
One of the more unexpected Fortnite collaborations in 2025 was the Squid Game collab. With the release coinciding with Squid Game Season 3, the collab featured multiple characters from the show getting a skin in the game. Players could take on the role of a Squid Game competitor, a Game Guard, and even the infamous Front Man.
This crossover even had an impact on the Unreal Editor community, as Squid Game-themed assets were also added to UEFN. Furthermore, the collab also brought the Squid Grounds map, marking the very first collaboration map for Fortnite Reload. This collaboration not only served as a treat for the fans of the show but also provided new, inventive gameplay opportunities.
Power Rangers
Power Rangers stormed Fortnite in 2025 with a high-energy crossover that packed arenas with iconic Rangers, massive Megazords, and morphing mechanics players could wield in battles. Teams assembled from Red to Black Ranger variants, unleashing combo attacks and Zord summons that shifted matches into epic showdowns. This collab spiked player counts through limited-time modes blending Ranger lore with Fortnite’s building frenzy, leaving squads chanting “It’s Morphin’ Time!” long after the event faded.
Power Rangers is arguably one of the most recognisable franchises in the world, and their arrival on the Fortnite Island really was the event it deserved to be. The collaboration saw the Green Ranger as part of the Chapter 6 Season 4 Battle Pass, along with the Dino Megazord. The other Power Rangers arrived later in the season in the Fortnite Item Shop.
As if the cosmetics weren’t enough, the Megazord was added as a playable boss on the map. Players could interact with Zordon himself and take control of the Megazord while others in the lobbies try to take them down. The Megazord joined everyone else in the fight against the Dark Presence, bookending this ambitious collaboration with a bang.
Daft Punk
The Daft Punk collaboration brought a wave of nostalgia and futuristic energy to Fortnite in 2025. Players could equip iconic helmets, use themed emotes inspired by the duo’s stage performances, and join special events featuring their signature visual style. The cosmetics and limited-time challenges captured the sleek, electronic aesthetic that defined Daft Punk’s legacy, making this crossover one of the year’s most stylish and memorable.
One of the most iconic and beloved electronic music duos of all time, Daft Punk, made their Fortnite debut in 2025. The collab saw Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, also known as TB3 and GM08, get their own skins in the game. Even after the duo stopped making music in 2021, the collab featured skins that honored the duo’s iconic sci-fi look.
The main highlight of the crossover was definitely the Daft Punk Experience. This was a massive live event that took players on an extensive journey through a reality-altering performance by the duo. Not only did this collab bring the iconic duo to the game, but it also allowed fans of Daft Punk to relive the memories they have with the artists.
K-Pop Demon Hunters
The K-Pop Demon Hunters crossover brought a burst of dynamic energy to Fortnite, blending animation, music, and combat flair in a seamless way. Players could equip striking character skins inspired by the film’s protagonists, with coordinated weapon wraps and emotes that captured their bold personalities. The event stood out for its artistic style and rhythmic action sequences, giving fans of both Fortnite and the movie a reason to return to the battlefield with fresh excitement.
Netflix’s biggest breakout hit of 2025, K-Pop Demon Hunters, had one of the most action-packed Fortnite collaborations of 2025. Rumi, Mira, and Zoey were all added to the Item Shop, allowing players to embody the beloved members of HUNTR/X on the battlefield. In addition to the skins, the crossover also included a Demon Rush LTM.
With this game mode, players could take down hordes of demons and ogres in a PvE environment. Much like the Squid Game collab, K-Pop Demon Hunters also featured assets for the Unreal Editor for Fortnite. This allowed players to make their own experiences themed around the hit movie. HUNTR/X also showed up in the battle against the Dark Presence while blasting their hit song “How It’s Done.”
The Simpsons Mini Season
Fortnite’s 2025 collaborations fused familiar faces with inventive crossover moments, blending bold visuals and playful storytelling that resonated across battles, builds, and creative modes.
The second Fortnite collaboration mini-season of 2025 saw The Simpsons cast make their way to the Fortnite Island. With the Springfield Battle Pass, players could obtain the Marge, Ned Flanders, and Homer Simpson skins. Meanwhile, characters like Bart Simpson and Krusty the Clown were added to the Item Shop.
However, this was a special crossover as it didn’t solely involve cosmetics and Mythic weapons. Epic Games took it a step further and took players to Springfield Island, a map that recreated the iconic town itself. Players got to play on the Springfield map for the entirety of the Simpsons mini-season, all before leading to the Chapter 6 finale live event.
Stranger Things
The Stranger Things crossover brought eerie excitement to Fortnite, blending the show’s supernatural vibe with creative gameplay elements. Players enjoyed exploring themed portals, facing off against Demogorgons, and collecting cosmetics inspired by Hawkins’ heroes. This collaboration captured the tension and nostalgia of the series while keeping matches thrilling with its mysterious atmosphere and hidden surprises.
In the newest wave of Fortnite’s collaboration with Stranger Things, Epic Games went all out and brought in Vecna, the ruler of the Upside Down, into the game. Other beloved characters like Dustin, Lucas, Mike, and Will were also added with this new crossover. However, since this was in celebration of Stranger Things’ final season, the developers took the collab a step further.
The Blitz Royale game mode received a substantial update with this collaboration. The update added a new Stranger Things map to the game mode. This new map was based on Hawkins and the Upside Down, allowing players to experience the world of Stranger Things while out on the battlefield. With all of this content and gameplay mechanics, Stranger Things served as one of the most eventful Blitz Royale collabs of 2025.
Kill Bill
A revolutionary wave surged through Fortnite in 2025, blending iconic film aesthetics with in-game mechanics to create unforgettable moments that resonated beyond the match.
Kicking off Fortnite Chapter 7 and its Hollywood-centric theme was the Kill Bill collaboration. A crossover that no one saw coming, the Kill Bill collab brought The Bride to the Chapter 7 Season 1 Battle Pass. The collab was to celebrate the wide release of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. In that spirit, it even featured the premiere of the ‘Yuki’s Revenge’ short film, which was a chapter of Kill Bill that Quentin Tarantino never shot.
Players could get their hands on the Yuki Yubari skin for free. Meanwhile, her sister, Gogo Yubari, was available for purchase in the Item Shop. With such beloved characters and the inclusion of the Forsaken Blade weapon in Battle Royale, Kill Bill has served as the perfect tone setter for Chapter 7.
Back to the Future
Fortnite’s 2025 collaborations fused iconic personalities, unforgettable crossover moments, and practical in-game guidance, delivering memorable experiences that linger beyond the match.
The Fortnite Back to the Future collaboration in Chapter 7 Season 1 has brought characters from one of the most beloved movies of all time. Players can find Marty McFly, the lovable protagonist, in the Chapter 7 Season 1 Battle Pass. Meanwhile, the mad scientist Doc Brown was featured in the Fortnite Item Shop later in the season.
Not only did this collaboration bring the new cosmetics, but it also added the beloved DeLorean to Fortnite Chapter 7. Players can find this iconic vehicle on the Pacific Break island. The DeLorean even allows players to engage with its time travel mechanic, adding a whole new layer of nostalgia to the crossover.
BLEACH
Fortnite’s 2025 collabs bridged crossover worlds with bold artistry and accessible playstyles, turning licensed partnerships into creative playgrounds that kept players returning for fresh challenges, limited-time modes, and cross-brand storytelling.
Closing out the year with another anime collaboration, Epic Games finally released the much-awaited Fortnite Bleach skins in Chapter 7 Season 1. The collab features characters like Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki with designs lifted straight from the anime. Ichigo and Rukia even have Fully-Hollowfied styles that players can access through a transformation emote.
However, the Bleach collab features a lot more than just cosmetics. To celebrate the collaboration, Epic Games has added Bleach quests tied to the Blitz Royale game mode. The quests include using the Dual Zengatsu, Ichigo’s iconic weapon from the series, and even using a Fully-Hollowfied Mask. Needless to say, this crossover perfectly blends the worlds of Bleach and Fortnite together.
