Andromeda is a Fortnite skin that was given for free to many players earlier this month. The skin is a result of the collaboration between Epic Games and Samsung, two companies that have worked together for more than six years. Unfortunately, a lot of eligible players still haven’t received the skin, even though they were supposed to get it by September 22.

Epic recently addressed the issue and is currently investigating it. However, the good news is that all eligible players should get the Andromeda skin, and here’s all you need to know about it.

If you haven’t received the Andromeda skin in Fortnite yet, don’t worry

Last month, Epic announced the Space-Touched Serenity Set, which includes a couple of cosmetic items. The main item of the set is Andromeda, a galaxy-themed skin. However, this set was only obtainable by playing Fortnite on a Samsung Galaxy device. Furthermore, players had to play between December 3, 2022, and August 16, 2024, to be eligible for it as well.

As the game developer promised, the set of cosmetic items was sent to players by September 22. Many players have received it, but unfortunately, some of them are still missing these cosmetics. Due to this, Epic Games is investigating the problem and should grant the items to all eligible players very soon.

Epic hasn’t specified the exact date of when the issue will be resolved, but it will be done in the “near future.” With the next major update coming on October 1, we expect all the eligible players to receive the skin by then. The skin may also come to the Item Shop at a later date, although Epic hasn’t confirmed this yet.

Despite Andromeda expiring, you can still unlock two free skins in Fortnite. These skins may also expire soon, so make sure to grab them before they do!
