Let's start at the beginning, shall we? The first celebrity to appear in the game was DJ Marshmello.

The North American DJ held a live show on February 2, 2019, where he gathered more than 10 million concurrent players in the Epic Games Battle Royale, breaking the record at the time!

About 10 minutes long, the show included holograms and fireworks, surprising the community.

Marshmello also received a set consisting of his skin and other cosmetics, check it out:

With that, a new temporary mode "Wick's Bounty" arrived in the game, along with a series of challenges that offered exclusive items to players.

Content Creators

Eventually, Epic Games releases skins of some Fortnite content creator, with their name and appearance. In a way, it's even a way of saying thank you to influencers who does an impressive job moving the community.

The first on that list was the world-renowned streamer “Ninja”. Next to him, we have “Bugha”, champion of the Fortnite World Cup in 2019, in addition to youtuber “Chica” and several others.

Recently, in December 2022, the Brazilian “Flakes Power” announced that he will also be part of this group, gaining his own in-game appearance.

For those who don't follow influencers, maybe it's not a big deal. But imagine a fan who can play with their favorite streamer – that's awesome!
