Tyler, the Creator is reportedly joining Fortnite’s Icon Series, hinting at a creative collaboration inspired by the artist’s varied music eras.
Signs point to Tyler, the Creator being the next big artist to join Fortnite’s Icon Series, according to reports from reliable Fortnite community leakers. While Epic Games hasn’t yet confirmed the news, reports indicate the release could arrive as early as this week.
The collaboration will include multiple cosmetics, including Outfits, Back Bling, and new Emotes, all inspired by Tyler’s various creative eras. The designs are reportedly drawn from some of his most iconic looks, which is on-brand for Fortnite’s prior artist collaborations, like Bruno Mars, Snoop Dogg, and Sabrina Carpenter.
The cosmetics rumored to drop include two Skins with four styles per Skin, two Back Blings, two Wraps, two Pickaxes, two Emotes, and one Contrail. According to Fortnite leaker NotPaloleaks, one of the two Skins is called “Chroma,” undoubtedly a reference to Tyler, the Creator’s eighth album. Other items include a Ferrari based on the rapper’s own car, and several new Fortnite Festival Jam Tracks.
The timing is apt, as Tyler recently dropped new music and received multiple nominations for the 2026 Grammy Awards. First-look images from the crossover are expected to drop in the next few days, giving fans an early preview of the upcoming designs.
News of the Tyler, the Creator collaboration comes amid a number of other leaks identified by fans this week, including more Skins of The Simpsons characters, a storm of Homer Simpson’s favorite donuts falling from the sky, new Stranger Things sets, and a free skin for players who earn 100,000 XP on either PC or mobile versions of Fortnite.
Meanwhile, despite all the positive press, Fortnite developer Epic Games is also under fire for its recent announcement allowing third-party sellers to offer “paid random items” within the game’s creator-made modes. That opens the door for “loot boxes,” the sale of which constitutes gambling in certain regions.
