How to Get Squid Game Skins in Fortnite

Epic Games has launched an exciting blend of pop culture and gaming by introducing Squid Game-themed cosmetics and an exclusive map to Fortnite, celebrating the arrival of Squid Game Season 3 on Netflix. This collaboration lets fans of the hit series and Fortnite players everywhere step right into the tense world of Squid Game, complete with signature outfits and emotes. Here’s an in-depth guide on what’s included, how much it costs, and the best ways to get your hands on all the Squid Game skins.

Squid Game Set Arrives in Fortnite Item Shop

The highly anticipated Squid Game skins are landing in Fortnite’s Item Shop on June 26 at 8 PM ET. The collection is expansive, featuring a range of outfits modeled after iconic characters and game participants from the Netflix series. Fans can not only dress up as contestants but also as the guards and managers seen throughout the show. For those aiming to collect every skin, Epic Games is even offering deeply discounted bundles.

Ten Contestant Skins

Players will have access to a total of ten contestant skins, each inspired by Squid Game’s recognizable tracksuit-wearing competitors. Players can customize these skins with numbers ranging from 001 to 456, letting them channel their favorite moments from the series or stand out with a chosen number. The male skins include Ddakji Defender, Green Light Guardian, Marble Maven, Dalgona Destroyer, and Tug of War Titan, while the female skins include Glass Bridge Survivor, Pentathlon Perfector, Jegi Juggler, Flying Stone Fighter, and Gong-Gi Great. Each of these is available for 1,200 V-Bucks apiece.

Game Guard and Game Manager Skins

For those who prefer to play as the overseers of the Squid Game, Fortnite also offers the Game Guard and Game Manager skins. Each is priced at 1,500 V-Bucks. The Game Guard skin is particularly versatile, coming with customizable mask symbols—Circle, Square, and Triangle—perfectly capturing the enigmatic look of the series’ masked enforcers.

Unlock Early: Squid Grounds Cup Tournament

There’s a bonus for competitive players: you can unlock the Game Guard skin for free and ahead of the shop release by participating in the Squid Grounds Cup, a special in-game tournament. By ranking high enough in this event, players can earn early access to the coveted skin without spending V-Bucks.

Squid Game Accessories and Bundles

Beyond the character skins, Fortnite is offering a lineup of cosmetic items based directly on props and symbols from the show—including the Delicious Dalgona back bling, Ddakji Box back bling, Lil’ Prized Piggy Bank emote, and Squid Shapes weapon wrap. Purchased individually, these items would cost 1,600 V-Bucks, but the Squid Accessories bundle allows players to grab all of them for only 700 V-Bucks.

Smart shoppers will notice that picking up the complete set individually would set you back 15,000 V-Bucks. However, buying the full bundle of all 12 skins is heavily discounted at just 3,000 V-Bucks. For the truly devoted, grabbing both the skins and accessories bundles totals 3,700 V-Bucks—saving over 75% compared to buying them all separately.

Special Promotions and Twitch Drops

In addition to in-game offerings, Epic Games has a Twitch campaign for Fortnite x Squid Game. Watching Fortnite streams on Twitch during the crossover event will let players claim bonus rewards with Twitch Drops—adding even more Squid Game goodies to your locker.
