Fortnite players across India have a major reason to celebrate as the popular battle royale game welcomes another global superstar to its growing roster of cultural icons. Grammy Award-winning artist Tyler, the Creator has officially joined the Fortnite universe, marking the latest addition to the game's prestigious Icon Series.
Official Announcement and Teaser Reveal
The exciting news was confirmed through an official post on Fortnite's X account, which simply stated: "The wait is over. @tylerthecreator is landing in Fortnite tonight." This announcement ended months of speculation that began when the collaboration was first teased back in October 2023.
Accompanying the announcement was a seven-second teaser video that gave players their first glimpse at what Tyler, the Creator would bring to the game. The teaser revealed not one, but two distinct outfits for the celebrated rapper and producer, showcasing different aspects of his unique fashion sense and artistic personality.
What's Included in the Tyler, The Creator Collection
According to reports from International Business Times, the Tyler, the Creator Fortnite collection offers players a comprehensive set of cosmetic items. The collection features two different skin styles, with one presenting a casual look while the other draws inspiration from his past fashion aesthetics and appears more stylized.
The complete set of available items and their pricing in V-Bucks includes:
- 2 Skins (including one based on his Chromoakopia outfit): 1,500 V-Bucks each
- 2 Back Bling items: 400 V-Bucks each
- 2 Weapon Wraps: 500 V-Bucks each

How to Get Tyler, The Creator Items in Fortnite
Indian Fortnite enthusiasts will be pleased to know that obtaining these new cosmetic items requires no special effort or gameplay challenges. Unlike some previous Icon Series releases that required completing specific missions or waiting for limited-time events, the entire Tyler, the Creator collection is available directly through the Fortnite Item Shop.
This straightforward approach means players can immediately purchase and use the items without any prerequisites, making the collection accessible to both casual players and dedicated fans alike.
The addition of Tyler, the Creator significantly expands Fortnite's portfolio of real-world icons, which already includes major music artists like Billie Eilish, Travis Scott, and Marshmello, alongside popular streamers and professional athletes.
