How many skins are in Fortnite?
If there’s one thing Fortnite does better than any game out there, it’s skins. Since hitting the scene in 2017, Fortnite’s skins have brought us more collaborations and original skin releases than all but the most diehard fans can keep up with. But how many skins are there really?
That’s what we’re here to answer.
(and since that question can be answered with a super fast four digits, we’ll get right to it, before we throw in a little extra meat on the bones to make this post more than just a number…)
How many Fortnite skins are there?
As of August 2025, Fortnite boasts approximately 2,527 skins (also known as Fortnite outfits) available in-game . This expansive collection includes a diverse range of cosmetics, such as:
- Original Skins: Custom designs created by Epic Games.
- Licensed Skins: Collaborations with popular franchises like Marvel, Star Wars, and DC.
- Special Event Skins: Limited-time outfits tied to in-game events and promotions.
- Battle Pass Skins: Exclusive outfits unlocked through the seasonal Battle Pass.
Of course, don’t expect to log in to play Fortnite right now and see every single skin in the store. That’s not how it works.
And because Epic Games loves just about nothing more than releasing new skins, there’s a good chance that the number of total skins has already increased by the time you’re reading this…
How often do new skins come out?
There isn’t a concrete answer to that. But since Fortnite’s item shop refreshes daily, it’s entirely possible that any new day could bring new skins.
That said, there are some constants…
New chapters and their Battle Passes are almost guaranteed to bring new skins to Fortnite. Same goes for takeover events, like December 2023’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles takeover.
What crossover collaborations has Fortnite had?
Fortnite holds a record that no other game can touch.
With enough collaborations to rival the likes of LEGO, Fortnite has released skins to bring almost every iconic fictional character to players, alongside a massive celebrity guest list, too.
Now, keep in mind that we said iconic. So no, you won’t find skins for your favorite character from more obscure works of fiction, or your fave low-key Insta influencer, but here’s a list of the pop culture skins you will find in Fortnite…
