Fortnite’s Kingdom Hearts collab is finally live, but Epic Games isn’t making everyone pay for Sora. The Sora skin is available for free through the Kingdom Hearts Cup on September 18 for players who place high enough. Unlike the Mega Man skin cups, the Battle Royale and Zero Build events are solo, so nobody needs a duo partner.
The Fortnite x Kingdom Hearts crossover brought Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Roxas to the battle royale, but only Sora is up for grabs in the cup. Furthermore, all participants who earn eight or more points will get the Glowing Keyhole spray, even if they miss out on the Sora skin.

The Kingdom Hearts Cup is split into three events. Players can compete in Battle Royale or Zero Build, while mobile players also get an exclusive cup that starts an hour earlier. It’s important to note that the Battle Royale and Zero Build cups overlap, so players need to pick one.
Bigger regions once again have more winners. As a result, players from Europe need a top 1,000 finish to earn the Sora skin, while those from Oceania, Asia, and the Middle East need to be in the top 100. You can check the exact placement requirements and start times below, starting with the Battle Royale and Zero Build cups.
| Region | Start time (ET) | Placement |
|---|---|---|
| OCE | 4 AM | Top 100 |

Every player who qualifies will receive the Sora skin, and the Glowing Keyhole spray requires only eight points. As the Battle Royale and Zero Build cups last three hours, the spray should be within reach for most players. However, the mobile cup lasts only 75 minutes, so mobile players will likely need to play more aggressively early on.
Players who don’t qualify for the Sora skin can still buy Sora from the Item Shop for 1,800 V-Bucks. However, Kingdom Hearts fans should consider the full bundle instead, as it packs all four skins and most of the Kingdom Hearts cosmetics in Fortnite for 4,500 V-Bucks.

More skins are expected to arrive with Fortnitemares 2026, some of which may be free.
