Addison Rae is bringing Y2K pop aesthetics into Fortnite's colorful world.
The singer and social-media star's inclusion in the Fortnite Icon Series was officially announced on Thursday (Aug. 6). The in-game bundle consists of cosmetics inspired by the artist's recent musical moves: looks from the "Fame Is a Gun" video and stage outfits from her sold-out debut world tour sit at the center of the collection.
"I used to play a lot of Fortnite. I got into it back in high school," Rae told Teen Vogue. The singer says this long-standing connection to the game made the collaboration feel more personal.
The Icon Series is Fortnite's ongoing initiative to bring real music and culture figures into the game, boasting a roster that ranges from Travis Scott to Ariana Grande. Rae's inclusion is the latest example of pop stars treating the gaming ecosystem less as a promotional channel and more as a stage in its own right.
Alongside the outfits, the bundle also includes back bling, pickaxe designs, and dance emotes.
