Crash Bandicoot has finally made it to Fortnite, and the collab is bigger than just one skin. Epic dropped the Crash Bandicoot & Spyro the Dragon bundle on August 28, 2026, as part of the Gaming Legends season in Chapter 7 Season 4. You have until September 11 to grab everything, so here’s exactly what’s available and how to get it.
How do you get the Crash Bandicoot skin in Fortnite?
The skin is a straight Item Shop purchase. There’s no tournament requirement or quest chain attached to this one. Follow these steps to pick it up:
- Launch Fortnite and open the Item Shop tab.
- Search for or scroll to the “Crash Bandicoot & Spyro the Dragon” section.
- Select either the full bundle or individual items depending on what you want.
- Hold the Purchase button to confirm your transaction.
- Your new cosmetics will appear in your Locker immediately.
tip
Buying the full bundle at 3,000 V-Bucks saves you money compared to purchasing every item separately, which would cost 5,400 V-Bucks total.

What does the Crash Bandicoot bundle include?
The collab covers more than just the character skin. There are six cosmetics in total, ranging from a pickaxe to a wrap and a victory emote. Here’s the full breakdown:

The Aku Aku Back Bling is worth calling out specifically. Aku Aku is one of the most iconic symbols from the original Crash Bandicoot games, and having him float behind your character is a nice touch for anyone who grew up with the PS1 trilogy.
warning
The entire Crash Bandicoot collab leaves the Item Shop on September 11, 2026, at 8 PM ET. After that reset, there’s no confirmed return date.

When does the Crash Bandicoot skin leave Fortnite?
All items tied to this collab rotate out on September 11, 2026, at 8 PM ET. That gives you roughly two weeks from the August 28 release to make your decision. If you need V-Bucks and don’t have enough saved up, now is the time to sort that out rather than waiting until the last day.
The Chapter 7 Season 4 Battle Pass is worth considering too if you want broader value from your V-Bucks spend rather than putting everything into one collab.
Is the Crash Bandicoot skin free?
No. Unlike some limited-time free skins in Fortnite, Crash Bandicoot is a paid Item Shop exclusive. There was no Crash Bandicoot Cup or tournament path attached to this collab. The only way to get the skin is through a direct V-Bucks purchase in the Item Shop.
If you’re looking for free cosmetics to add to your collection while you save up, check out the Panda Team Jr Sidekick guide (claimable through quests with no V-Bucks required) or the KATS Turntable Back Bling earned through Twitch drops.
What other Gaming Legends collabs are available right now?
Chapter 7 Season 4’s Gaming Legends theme means Crash Bandicoot isn’t the only retro gaming icon showing up. Other recent additions include the Dr. Eggman skin and the Kernel Hearts Fernet skin. For a full rundown of what’s in the shop and what’s coming, the Fortnite guides collection has everything broken down by skin and acquisition method.
