Pop star Sabrina Carpenter lands in Fortnite for Fortnite Festival Season 8, launching April 8 with loads of in-game cosmetics, jam tracks, and emotes.Epic Games loves to blur the lines between gaming and music, and Fortnite’s Sabrina Carpenter debut is no exception. Fortnite Festival Season 8 launches on April 8, complete with two Sabrina Carpenter outfits, two new emotes, three jam tracks, and lots of sparkly accessories.
Players can access the main Sabrina Carpenter outfit through the Season 8 Festival Pass Premium Track, which costs 1,400 V-Bucks, or by unlocking it through Fortnite Crew membership. The outfit features a yellow babydoll dress inspired by Sabrina’s “Emails I Can’t Send Tour” wardrobe — a collaboration with Victoria’s Secret and the singer’s stylist, Jared Ellner. A second outfit, a bodysuit, is unlockable as players progress through the Festival Pass.
Yet another version of Sabrina, “Tour-Ready Sabrina Carpenter,” will be available in the Fortnite Item Shop throughout Season 8. This outfit offers high fashion with “edgier” details, giving fans even more variety in showing off their love for the star.Gear includes the SC Electric Guitar and SC Sparkly Guitar, both of which have unlockable styles. There’s a mic-themed backbling, custom contrails that leave a shimmer when characters skydive, and signature jam tracks, including “Nonsense,” “Feather,” and “Please Please Please.” These items, as well as the Tour-Ready outfit and accessories, can be purchased starting on April 9.
Sabrina herself called her Fortnite persona “shockingly accurate,” as the avatar is noticeably “short and sweet” in stature, just like the pop star. While some devoted Fortnite fans have been critical of just how many musicians the game has added, even more fans are thrilled at the variety of releases. Many fans on social media have admitted to downloading Fortnite this week just to be ready to play as Sabrina.
The entire Sabrina Carpenter collection launches on April 9, just a day after the official Season 8 launch.
