Addison Rae Is the Newest Star to Join Fortnite Icon Series: A ‘Big Flex’ to Her Little Brothers
Addison Rae has been added to Fortnite's Icon Series lineup, bringing customisable character skins and accessories to the battle royale game. The cosmetics draw directly from her 'Fame Is a Gun' music video, recreating the pink jacket and skirt she wears in the footage, alongside stage-inspired outfits in multiple colour schemes. Supporting items include thematic back blings—one nodding to her track 'Aquamarine'—and pickaxes, with two of her songs available as in-game music and victory emotes.
The collaboration reflects Rae's momentum as a mainstream recording artist. Her self-titled debut album reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200, generating multiple charting tracks, whilst her inaugural headlining tour sold out numerous dates globally. The announcement follows a similar Fortnite partnership with Olivia Rodrigo announced in June, continuing the game's strategy of securing major pop music talent for its Icon Series.
In short
- Addison Rae joins Fortnite's Icon Series with cosmetics inspired by her music video and tour wardrobe
- In-game collection features her songs 'Fame Is a Gun' and 'Diet Pepsi' as playable tracks
- Partnership marks milestone in her successful debut year as a recording artist
Explained simply
Fortnite is an online battle royale game in which players compete to be the last ones standing. Its Icon Series features characters and items inspired by public figures, including musicians, and lets players customise how their characters look and celebrate wins.
Addison Rae first became widely known through social media and has since built a career in music. Her debut album and sold-out tour have helped establish her as a recording artist, while her younger brothers are part of the story’s family context.
Fortnite’s partnerships with musicians bring their songs and visual styles into the game for its large player community. Similar collaborations, including one with Olivia Rodrigo, show how the game connects pop music with gaming culture.
