Fortnite’s Tyler, the Creator skin is here, and unfortunately he’s not cheap

Fortnite‘s long history of collaboration with various musical artists has seen the game bring all kinds of musical delights. From K-pop Demon Hunters to Twenty One Pilots, we’ve seen all the genres at one point or another. Now, Epic Games continues to make history with the new Fortnite Tyler, the Creator skins and bundle, but if you want sugar on your tongue, you’ll have to shill out a bit. That’s because Tyler, the Creator has two skins in the shop, if you have the V-Bucks spare.

You can nab yourself Tyler’s default appearance, while the other new Fortnite skin is titled ‘Chromakopian’, after Tyler’s most recent album. Each skin is priced at 1500 V-Bucks, or you can buy a bundle for 3200 V-Bucks that contains both skins, plus emotes, Jam Track ‘Earfquake’, and some neat music-themed weapons and a mini-Tyler as Back Bling, for some reason. The bundle is a little pricey, but if you want both skins, you might as well grab it for an extra 200 V-bucks.

Outside of the recent Fortnite bundle, you can also purchase Jam Tracks ‘Sticky’ and ‘Ring Ring Ring’ for 500 V-Bucks apiece, alongside Tyler’s Kicks, the Cherry Bomb Converses, which will set you back 1000 V-Bucks. Don’t worry if you can’t get everything you want just yet; you still have a while to purchase any Tyler cosmetics, as they are available until November 30, 2025.

Due to recent controversy surrounding the artist, some are less than excited about the skins, while some simply don’t know any of his songs. However, even if you’re not a big Tyler, the Creator fan, you can still enjoy the weapon wraps, which come in smooth green and pink colors, and who doesn’t love the opportunity to best your enemies with a mic stand?

The collaboration comes amid rumors from notable Fortnite leaker ‘HYPEX‘ that the next Fortnite Festival will have a female headliner. Given that we’ve seen collabs with many notable female artists, like Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, and others, it’s hard to speculate at this stage who could end up headlining. A Chappell Roan set would be very cool, as we already have some Jam Tracks in the game.

In an interview with the BBC, Roan reveals she’s got the Ariana Grande skin in her locker and mentions that the Nintendo Switch is her preferred console to get dubs on. But what about her own skin coming to the game? “That’s what I’m going to use this interview for […] please give me a skin, please,” she jokes. Unless, of course, she’s not joking.

Only time will tell what’s next for the Fortnite musical universe, and in the meantime, I’ll be enjoying the Simpsons skins and the new Fortnite Sidekicks buddies.
