Fortnite has partnered with rapper Playboi Carti for one of the most talked-about Icon Series collaborations in recent memory. Players got their first glimpse of the skin during the Zero Hour event finale for Chapter 6, where Carti appeared as both a playable character preview and the chapter’s final boss. With Chapter 7 Season 1 now underway, fans are eager to know exactly how they can add this exclusive skin to their collection.
First Look at the Playboi Carti Skin Design
The hiphop rapper joins Fortnite with his basketball outfit, drawing inspiration from his real lifestyle. Playboi Carti skin features a blue basketball jersey with “I AM MUSIC” text across the front while “Carti” on the back. Alongside, it has the number “00” displayed on both sides as well as black suspenders.
His belt buckle even includes an “I AM MUSIC” detail and Timberland-style boots to complete the streetwear look. For his appearance, it has Carti’s signature dreadlocks, face tattoos, and accessories that makes him stand out. Also, his skin appears to reference Carti’s image of wearing an Allen Iverson jersey.
To match his look, the Zero Hour event temporarily transformed players into Carti while the song “Evil J0RDAN” played in the basketball court. Moreover, this collaboration marked the first in history for having a hiphop icon as a chapter-ending villain.
When and Where to Purchase the Skin
You can purchase Playboi Carti skin in Fortnite Item Shop starting on November 29, 2025. It accompanies the launch of Chapter 7 Season 1, alongside other Hollywood-themed collaborations. Unlike other Icon Series collaborations, you can simply get this skin from the Item Shop release.
For now, Epic Games has not yet announced an exact release date yet. But based on typical Fortnite release patterns, it should drop within the first few weeks of the new season. So, keep your eye on the shop daily and follow their official social media platforms for the announcement. Like other collaborations, Playboi Carti skin will be available for limited time only in Fortnite.
What’s Included in the Bundle
According to trusted Fortnite leakers, the Playboi Carti bundle will feature several items beyond the base skin. It also has two different skin variations, giving you options on how you want the rapper to appear in-game. So far, the bundle is suggested to include 2 instruments and multiple Jam Tracks featuring Carti’s music.
The Zero Hour Event Appearance
More than the skin collaboration, Playboi Carti made history by appearing in the Zero Hour event as the primary antagonist. It marked the first time that a chart-topping contemporary artist served as the end-of-chapter boss. In the event, they get to encounter the zombified version of Carti emerging from a corrupted portal.
With a zombified look, he showed up in his braids, headphones, and red cross beanie. The Zero Hour event took place on November 29, 2025, offering one of the most memorable chapter-end in the game. They also brought players into a basketball court and turned into Carti variants while having the main version perform tricks at center court.
Conclusion
Playboi Carti is just one of the skin collaborations awaiting you in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1! Aside from the rap icon, other Hollywood-themed collaborations are also set to arrive so make sure to plan your purchase. His skin will be available in the Item Shop briefly after the start of a new chapter.
