Get ready, gamers and racing enthusiasts! Fortnite and Formula 1 are joining forces, bringing the high-octane thrill of the racetrack to the virtual battlegrounds. This exciting collaboration is set to arrive on November 20th, just in time for Chapter 7 Season 1 and the buzz surrounding the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix.
So, what can you expect? The F1 Cosmetic Team Set will be hitting the Epic Games title on November 20th at 7 PM ET/12 AM GMT. This means you'll be able to customize your in-game avatar with gear inspired by all 10 Formula 1 teams. Imagine zipping around the map in an F1-themed glider, picking up loot with a racing-inspired pickaxe, and showing off your team spirit with exclusive outfits! You can grab these items from the Item Shop.
But here's where it gets exciting! This collaboration is more than just cosmetics; it's a fusion of two massive fanbases. As stated in the press release, this partnership allows players to experience the excitement of racing while battling for a Victory Royale. Emily Prazer, Chief Commercial Officer of Formula 1, commented that this is a way for Formula 1 to connect with fans in unexpected places. She added, "We’re obsessed with finding new and exciting ways to engage with our audiences that makes our sport sit alongside their other passions and interests."
And this is the part most people miss... This is just one of many collaborations Fortnite is doing. Fans are also eagerly anticipating the arrival of Stranger Things in Fortnite on November 24th, which is expected to add five skins, according to the trusted leaker HYPEX.
On the competitive side, the Blitz Mobile Cup is currently underway, giving players a chance to win exclusive rewards, including the Easton’s Eye Spray and Airbound Ammunition Back Bling. The event runs until November 23rd/24th, depending on your timezone. The goal? Climb the leaderboard by securing Victory Royales and racking up those eliminations!
