Fortnite removes exclusivity from more skins

Over the past seven and a half years, Epic Games has introduced thousands of Fortnite skins. While most of these were available to all players through the Item Shop, a significant number were exclusive to the Battle Pass. As a result, those skins will never be available in the game again. Unfortunately, this means that newer players will never be able to get their hands on iconic skins, such as Omega and The Reaper.

Epic has introduced numerous variations of original skins, some of which have gained popularity. However, the Fortnite developer is shifting away from exclusivity. It started with the Battle Pass, and now PlayStation Plus skins are following suit.

Fortnite x PlayStation Plus skins are no longer exclusive

This month, Epic released another PlayStation Plus skin. This skin is free to anyone who has an active PS+ subscription and can only be obtained on Sony’s gaming console. However, once added to the locker, the skin is usable on every platform. These skins, as well as other PlayStation Plus cosmetics, used to be exclusive but this no longer seems to be the case.

This is one part of the description of the new PlayStation pack:

Besides Shinji, the new PlayStation skin, Epic will also bring the Virtual Servpak back bling and the Crimson Codeblade pickaxe to the Item Shop. This means that all the future Fortnite x PlayStation Plus skins will likely be non-exclusive as well. The current pack will likely be available for at least a month, and it may come to the in-game shop in the second half of 2025.
