The Playboi Carti Fortnite collab is no longer just a rumor. Dataminers revealed it, leakers backed it, and Carti himself reacted to it in public. Now players want to know what this crossover will include and when it will arrive in the game. This guide sums up everything known so far about the Playboi Carti Fortnite collab, from the first leak to the likely release window in Chapter 7 Season 1.

Is Playboi Carti coming to Fortnite?

Yes. All signs point to a confirmed collaboration, even if Epic Games has not announced it officially yet.

The story started when Fortnite dataminer Kurrco posted that a Playboi Carti x Fortnite collab was “coming soon,” including a skin and an in-game event. Soon after that post, other major leakers and dataminers in the Fortnite scene echoed the claim and treated it as credible.

The key moment came a few hours later. Playboi Carti posted the Fortnite logo on Instagram and commented “NAHH FR” under it. This reaction worked as an informal confirmation from the artist himself and sent the community into full hype mode.

Reliable leakers such as HYPEX and BeastFNCreative also referenced the collab and added more detail about the music side of the crossover. While Epic Games stays silent, the combination of:

• an initial datamine,
• multiple independent leak confirmations, and
• Carti’s own Instagram reaction

Makes the Playboi Carti Fortnite collab as close to confirmed as it can be without an official blog post. Here is BeastFNCreative’s post on X:

That is not it. According to the latest leaks, it was revealed that Playboi Carti will be a boss in Fortnite, as discovered by dataminers.

What to expect from the collaboration?

Right now, the Playboi Carti Fortnite collab has two core pieces that leaks agree on:

• A Playboi Carti skin as the main cosmetic
• An “EVIL J0RDAN” Jam Track for Fortnite Festival, with a possible linked emote

Dataminers expect the Carti outfit to join the Icon Series, which is Fortnite’s line for real-world creators, artists, and athletes. Previous Icon Series skins like Travis Scott, Eminem, The Weeknd, and others set the pattern that this collab will likely follow.

Based on current leaks and normal Icon Series structure, players can reasonably expect:

• Playboi Carti skin: Likely priced around 1,500 V-Bucks on its own, with a bundle around 2,500 V-Bucks, in line with other Icon outfits.
• “EVIL J0RDAN” Jam Track: Confirmed by leakers as an upcoming Fortnite Festival track, with indications that it may also connect to an emote. The track will likely cost about 500 V-Bucks if it follows other Festival Jam Track pricing.
• Extra cosmetics (expected, not confirmed): Leaks and Icon history suggest there could be a Carti-themed emote, a back bling, a pickaxe, and maybe a weapon wrap.

Playboi Carti Fortnite collab release date

There is no official release date yet. Every source uses the same vague phrase: “coming soon.” To understand what that might mean, it helps to look at Fortnite’s current timeline.

• The Zero Hour live event ends Chapter 6 on 29 November 2025.
• Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 starts on 30 November 2025, with a new map and a strong focus on LA / Hollywood themes, like Kill Bill.
• BLACKPINK’s Lisa is already confirmed as the Fortnite Festival Season 12 headliner, with her content arriving around 29 November 2025.

This schedule leaves very little room for a full Carti event before or during the Chapter 7 launch weekend. That is why several analysts and leakers expect the Playboi Carti Fortnite collab to land in early December 2025, inside Chapter 7 Season 1, rather than during the immediate Chapter change.

There is also a second possibility. Epic might choose a quieter rollout and push the Carti skin and Jam Track into the regular item shop rotation without a major event. Recent Icon releases like deadmau5 arrived in this more low-key way. That option would still match the “soon” leaks but with less buildup.

At this stage, any exact date remains speculation. However, all current evidence points toward:

• Window: Early to mid December 2025
• Context: During the first weeks of Chapter 7 Season 1

Until Epic posts an official announcement, players should treat even strong leak-based predictions as provisional.
