F1 announces "Fortnite" partnership: Release date and how to get your favourite team's skin

Formula 1 has announced a new partnership with Epic Games' Fortnite. 

Emily Prazer, F1 chief commercial officer, said: “This innovative collaboration with Fortnite is yet another way Formula 1 is connecting with fans and appearing in places you wouldn’t expect it to. We’re obsessed with finding new and exciting ways to engage with our audiences that make our sport sit alongside their other passions and interests.

“In recent years Fortnite has collaborated with some of the biggest brands, sporting celebrities and TV series in the world, so we’re thrilled this new integration will enable players to engage with our series 365 days a year and further their love of the sport.”

This is what we know so far and how you can get your favourite F1 driver's skin.

What is the release date for the Fortnite 'F1 Cosmetic Team Set'?

The ‘F1 Cosmetic Team Set’ is set to go live in-game on Thursday 20 November, ahead of the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend.

What does the Fortnite 'F1 Cosmetic Team Set' include?

The 'F1 Cosmetic Team Set' will include branded Outfits, Gliders, and Pickaxes in the branding of all 10 F1 teams. Players can also get F1-branded 'Back Bling' and an 'Emote'.

Where will the Fortnite 'F1 Cosmetic Team Set' be available?

The 'F1 Cosmetic Team Set' will be available from the Fortnite Item Shop on the release date, 20 November. It is yet to be confirmed how much the items will cost.

What other F1 skins are available?

Fortnite previously announced a collaboration with seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton. The 'Hamilton Set' was released on 17 November 2023 and includes a Lewis Hamilton Outfit with the Rocket-Ready Roscoe and Pole Positioner Back Blings and Pickaxe. 

“I got the opportunity to be in Fortnite. It’s a game that I played for a long time, but I said only if Roscoe could be in it," Hamilton told GQ. “They were like, ‘No problem.’ So Roscoe is in my jet pack hovering behind me as he’s my sidekick.”

The 'Hamilton Set' is available through the Item Shop.
