Epic Games has run a few “buy this game on the Epic Games Store and get a Fortnite skin” promotions over the years, but it seems the Fortnite creator has decided to do a lot more of that kind of thing in 2026, starting in March with Resident Evil Requiem and Crimson Desert. Steve Allison, general manager for EGS, proclaimed in January that the company hopes to offer as many as 100 of these deals every year. That’s quite a ramp-up, since Fortnite has rarely had more than one or two of these sorts of promos running at once in the past.
A lot of these deals will offer skins, but some of these gaming collabs will focus on accessories–like Dumb Ways to Die, a mobile game, offering a back bling and an emote. While that particular promo has ended, you can expect at least some of the upcoming collaborations to be of a similar scale, particularly with cheaper indie games.
Before we look at what the collaborations actually are, let’s talk about the ground rules.
