Fortnite Meets Squid Game: Here’s How to Get Free Twitch Drops, Plus New Skin Prices

Red Light! Green Light! Fortnite! The hit game is diving into the unnerving world of the massively popular Netflix series.

Squid Game, the chillingly creepy show where desperate, debt-ridden adults compete in a deadly tournament of children’s games, is returning to Netflix for its third and final season on Friday. Its brightly colored, dystopian world has heavily influenced pop culture, even including Halloween costumes. And now, the Squid Game universe is coming to the massively popular game Fortnite in a crossover event beginning at the same time that the third season is available to watch.

When does Squid Game come to Fortnite?

Look for a new island, Squid Grounds, in the Fortnite battle royale mode, Reload, on June 27, at 9 a.m. ET.
It seems likely that the Squid Game skins and items will come to Fortnite before the new island map does. Leakers are reporting that the skins and item shop will be reset at 8 p.m. ET on the night of June 26.
Squid Game-themed skins in the shop will include the red-clad guards and green-clad competitors.
«You’ll recognize plenty of returning weaponry for the Squid Grounds update, though the Glider and Boogie Bomb are making their first-ever appearance in Reload,» a representative for Fortnite promises in the caption for the YouTube trailer showing off the game additions.

And on Fortnite.com, the game goes into a bit more detail.

«Find familiar playground locations from the games, complete with staged town sets and a hollowed-out labyrinth cutting underneath the island’s rolling hills,» the site says. «You can even play Red Light, Green Light at your own risk.»

Before Friday’s launch, players can compete in the Squid Games Cup, a Reload Duos Fill tournament taking place on the Slurp Rush map on June 25. Top players can then earn the Games Guard outfit before it shows up in the shop on June 26.

How to win playing Fortnite Squid Game

Once the map is released, there’s more to come.

Squid Grounds Console Cash Cups, which are Battle Royale Duos tournaments, will be available on July 18, July 25 and Aug. 1,
The games are open to players on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.
Top performers earn cash prizes.

How to get Free Fortnite Squid Game Twitch Drops

During the crossover’s first weekend, players who watch any channel in the Fortnite category on Twitch between June 27 at 9 a.m. ET and June 29 at 11:59 p.m. ET will receive free in-game content, based on how long they watch.

Options include:

The Games Banner Icon, for 30 cumulative minutes of watching
The Cuddly Games Spray, for 1 hour
The Guarded Games Spray, for 1 hour, 30 minutes
The Ddakji Flip Emoticon, for 2 hours. (Ddakji is the traditional Korean paper-flipping game featured in the show.)

How much do Squid Game skins in Fortnite cost?

Squid Game game focuses on people so far in debt they must risk their lives. Some Fortnite players are joking about that similarity, because according to unconfirmed leaks first reported on by SpushFNBR and NotPaloleaks, and cited by Vice, playing could be pricey.

Reportedly, the Squid Game skin main bundle will cost 3,000 V-Bucks, which is the game’s currency. Fortnite.com says that the bundle includes the Games Guard outfit, the Ddakji Defender outfit, the Green Light Guardian, Marble Maven, Dalgona Destroyer, Tug of War Titan, Pentathlon Perfector, Jegi Juggler, Flying Stone Fighter, Gong-gi Great, Games Manager outfit and Glass Bridge Survivor outfit. It looks as if the crossover won’t include one of the more iconic Squid Game characters, the eerie black-clad Front Man, a former police officer who won the tournament and now runs it.
According to popular Fortnite leaker HYPEX, prices even for single skins won’t be cheap, with the guard and manager skins selling for 1,500 V-Bucks each and the male and female player skins for 1,200 V-Bucks each. Maybe you can find a deadly tournament to enter to win enough … oh, wait.

SQUID GAME x FORTNITE PRICES — JUNE 26
• SKINS BUNDLE (3,000) & GEAR BUNDLE (700)
• GUARD & MANAGER — 1,500 Each
• MALE & FEMALE (5 Styles) — 1,200 Each
• BACKBLINGS (Dalgona, Ddakji) — 300 Each
• EMOTE & WRAP — 500 Each

But some Fortnite fans seem excited about the new additions regardless.

«The fact that we’re getting elimination-based gaming inside elimination-based gaming is peak 2025 meta,» said one X user.

Another user said they’d prefer to see Squid Game take a role in the standard battle royale Fortnite game.

«This seems like a good idea, but why is Squid Game in Reload and not the Battle Royale game mode?» they asked on X. «I don’t know a lot of people who play Reload, me including [sic]. The last time I played Reload was when the game mode first came out.»

Another person suggested this might be because the Battle Royale season theme, superheroes, doesn’t fit with Squid Game.
