Chappell Roan has said she cried after getting her own Fortnite skin, and has also announced a limited-edition merch line to celebrate the long-awaited collab.
Last year, Roan asked Epic Games to make her a playable character in online multiplayer battle royale game Fortnite during an interview with the BBC. “Please give me a skin. Please,” she said. “If I want to have a really good night, I’ll just eat an edible and play video games.”
Earlier this month, her wish came true when she became the latest headline act of Fortnite Festival, with a number of Chappell Roan skins, emotes and jam tracks added to the game. “When Chappell Roan asks for her own Fortnite outfit, we give her her own Fortnite outfit,” wrote Epic Games on X.
The collaboration is set to run until March 6 and to celebrate, Roan has announced two limited-edition t-shirts which are available to buy here.

In an email to fans, Chappell Roan wrote: “I do not cry a lot and me having a Fortnite skin had me in tears. It just looks so awesome.”
Fortnite players can currently get a trio of Roan outfits. Two are inspired by her onstage outfits while the third Roan Of Arc look is based on her performance of ‘Good Luck, Babe’ at the 2024 VMAs.
