Fortnite fans are buzzing: Could IShowSpeed’s high-energy persona drop into Battle Royale as a new skin? Leaks point to yes, but Epic Games stays silent.
With such a long list of characters, even including real-life celebrities, players are always clamouring to see their favourite icons join the Fortnite roster. Now, it seems like Epic Games might be bringing in one of the biggest streamers on the planet: IShowSpeed.
IShowSpeed has become one of the biggest names in streaming in a few short years. The streamer’s love for Fortnite is well-known, with the game being a huge part of his regular streams. This has led to players hoping to see an Icon Series skin for the streamer in the game. Now, amidst the already rewarding Winterfest 2025, thanks to recent hints and leaks, there might be a chance that the IShowSpeed skin could be coming to Fortnite.
Is IShowSpeed Getting a Fortnite Skin? Release Date Speculation and Leaks
Rumors about an IShowSpeed Fortnite skin have gained traction after leaks from reliable dataminers hinted at a potential collaboration with Epic Games. While Epic has not confirmed anything yet, fans speculate that a release could align with an upcoming Fortnite event or update in early 2026. Screenshots showing cosmetics inspired by the streamer have circulated on social media, fueling excitement among his followers. Until an official announcement is made, these leaks remain unverified, but the possibility has sparked plenty of discussion in the Fortnite community.
There have been rumors around IShowSpeed getting a skin in Fortnite for a while now. However, they intensified due to a recent interaction between fans on X. A fan asked a user, Twitter, who they assumed to be IShowSpeed, why he was planning to stream on December 24 (Christmas Eve). In response, the other account simply stated, “Go back to my first stream ever.” This may seem like nothing at first. However, going back through Speed’s history tells us that his first-ever stream was a Fortnite stream.
This interaction on X has fueled speculation about a potential IShowSpeed skin. However, it is important to remember that the person in the interaction is not IShowSpeed himself. The fanpage, making a reference to his first-ever stream and streaming Fortnite on Christmas Eve, does hint at something going on behind the scenes. However, it doesn’t seem to hold a lot of weight unless it comes from IShowSpeed himself.
Since the rumor was started by a fan account, it definitely means that the IShowSpeed skin is not confirmed to be coming to Fortnite.
