The Fortnite universe has welcomed one of the internet’s most recognisable creators, with streamer and content creator IShowSpeed officially joining the game’s Icon Series.

Announced on Christmas Day 2025, the collaboration represents a notable moment for Epic Games and for a creator whose early online presence was shaped by Fortnite streams.

Speculation around IShowSpeed’s Fortnite debut had been growing in the days leading up to the announcement, after he encouraged viewers during a livestream to revisit his earliest content. Those hints were confirmed on December 25, when Epic Games revealed the collaboration as the final Icon Series release of the year.

For long-time followers, the in-game appearance holds particular meaning. IShowSpeed first attracted attention while playing Fortnite during his early streaming career, making the Icon Series inclusion a symbolic return to where his rise began.

The Fortnite IShowSpeed Bundle is available in the Item Shop for 3,000 V-Bucks and features a selection of items designed to reflect his energetic online persona. The bundle includes two outfits, consisting of the standard IShowSpeed skin and a reactive ISuperSpeed variant, alongside the Speed Cam Back Bling inspired by his streaming setup.

Players also receive the Trident Pickaxe, the Speedboard Glider and the Barrier Breaker Emote.

According to InsideSport, IShowSpeed joins a select group of creators already represented in Fortnite, including Ninja, Kai Cenat and MrBeast. The collaboration highlights Epic Games’ continued emphasis on creator-driven culture and its integration into the Fortnite ecosystem.

The bundle is expected to remain available until January 3, 2026, making it a limited-time addition to the Item Shop.
