Fortnite Chappell Roan Skin: Release Date, Price & How To Get
A new Fortnite Festival is about to kick off, and recent leaks strongly suggest that a Chappell Roan Fortnite skin is finally on the way. As a possible Festival headliner, this ICON Series skin is also expected to drop with a ton of themed cosmetics once the collaboration goes live.
In this guide, we’ll break down how to unlock the Chappell Roan skin in Fortnite, including its release date, price, and all the cosmetics that could launch alongside it.
When Is The Chappell Roan Fortnite Skin Release Date?
According to reliable leaker HYPEX, the Chappell Roan Fortnite skin should launch with the v39.40 update on February 5, 2026. She is expected to headline the next Fortnite Festival, a unique rhythm game within Epic’s ever-expanding universe.
Note: The Fortnite v39.40 update will go live shortly after the scheduled server downtime ends, with matchmaking disabled 30 minutes prior.
How To Get The Chappell Roan Fortnite Skin
While it hasn’t been confirmed yet, leaks suggest you’ll be able to unlock two Chappell Roan outfit variants—similar to previous Festival ICON skins.
The base Chappell Roan skin, inspired by her Pink Pony Club aesthetic, is expected to be included in the Fortnite Festival Music Pass. This would make it part of the seasonal progression track, similar to how past Festival headliners have been handled.
A second outfit variant, based on the knight armor look Chappell Roan wore during her 2024 MTV VMAs performance, is rumored to release separately through the Fortnite Item Shop. If this holds true, you would need to purchase it with V-Bucks.
Chappell Roan Fortnite Skin Price & Cosmetics
At the time of writing, Epic Games has not confirmed the Chappell Roan Fortnite skin cost, though we can make some educated guesses.
If the Chappell Roan skin is included in the Fortnite Festival Music Pass, it would likely cost 1,400 V-Bucks. However, players who are subscribed to Fortnite Crew will be able to unlock it at no extra cost as part of their $11.99 monthly membership.
If a separate Chappell Roan skin makes it to the Fortnite Item Shop, the price would probably land somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000 V-Bucks. The final cost would depend on how premium the bundle is, particularly if it includes reactive elements or multiple selectable styles.
In addition to the outfits, you will also be able to grab the following items:
- Back Bling
- Pickaxe
- Emotes
- Jam Tracks
- Pink Pony Club-inspired Fortnite Sidekick
Can I Buy The Chappell Roan Fortnite Skin After The Season Ends?
Yes. All Music Pass skins can make a comeback via the Fortnite Item Shop, as they are no longer exclusive items—and the Chappell Roan skin shouldn’t be any different.
However, Epic Games rotates them at random, so it could be weeks, months, or, in some rare cases, years before a skin returns to the Item Shop.
