Addison Rae is officially the latest name in Fortnite's Icon Series, the game's line of real-world-celebrity cosmetics. Epic Games confirmed the addition on Thursday, August 6, 2026, with a bundle landing in the Fortnite Item Shop at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET the same day, Digital Music News reported.

The bundle draws from two corners of Rae's music career: her 'Fame Is a Gun' music video and her first global headlining tour, which sold out multiple dates. The first of two outfits — the Addison Rae Outfit — recreates the pink jacket, top and skirt she wears in that video, complete with a sunglasses toggle. The second, the Fortnite Famous Addison Rae Outfit, takes its cues from her stage wardrobe and ships in three colourways: White, Fame Brite (pink and yellow) and Soda Black.

A stack of accessories rounds out the set. The Turtle-on-Moon Back Bling nods to her track 'Aquamarine'. There is also Addison's Sundae Back Bling, the reactive Addison's Biggest Fan Pickaxe, and the Fame Scepter Pickaxe. Rae's songs 'Fame Is a Gun' and 'Diet Pepsi' are included as Jam Tracks — playable songs within Fortnite's music-making modes — each with a matching Emote, according to Billboard.

For Rae, the collaboration arrives on the back of a breakthrough year. 'Diet Pepsi' became her first entry on the Billboard Hot 100, the US singles chart that ranks the country's most consumed songs each week. Her self-titled debut album reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200, the equivalent album chart that blends sales and streaming. The sold-out tour that supplied the stage-wardrobe inspiration for the second skin was her first as a global headliner.

The Icon Series, for readers unfamiliar with the name, is Fortnite's long-running programme of partnering with musicians, athletes, streamers and other public figures to produce purchasable in-game cosmetics modelled on them. Rae joins a roster that has previously included artists across pop, hip-hop and electronic music, each receiving outfits and accessories tied to their visual identity.

For fans, the bundle turns two of Rae's looks into playable items rather than merch-you-hang-on-a-wall. For Epic Games, it extends a format that has reliably driven item-shop revenue by pairing chart-active artists with the game's hundreds of millions of players. Neither party has disclosed sales figures or financial terms for the collaboration.
