- IShowSpeed is rumored to be getting his own skin in Fortnite.
- Rumors started from two fans interacting on X.
- The rumors don't hold much weight as they came from fans and not Speed himself.
Collaborations have become a huge part of the Fortnite ecosystem these days. Epic Games continues to blow people away with crossovers that are both highly anticipated and extremely random sometimes. With such a long list of characters, even including real-life celebrities, players are always clamouring to see their favourite icons join the Fortnite roster. Now, it seems like Epic Games might be bringing in one of the biggest streamers on the planet: IShowSpeed.
IShowSpeed has become one of the biggest names in streaming in a few short years. The streamer’s love for Fortnite is well-known, with the game being a huge part of his regular streams. This has led to players hoping to see an Icon Series skin for the streamer in the game. Now, amidst the already rewarding Winterfest 2025, thanks to recent hints and leaks, there might be a chance that the IShowSpeed skin could be coming to Fortnite.
Is IShowSpeed Getting a Fortnite Skin? Release Date Speculation and Leaks
There have been rumors around IShowSpeed getting a skin in Fortnite for a while now. However, they intensified due to a recent interaction between fans on X. A fan asked a user, ronaldobetter, who they assumed to be IShowSpeed, why he was planning to stream on December 24 (Christmas Eve). In response, the other account simply stated, “Go back to my first stream ever.” This may seem like nothing at first. However, going back through Speed’s history tells us that his first-ever stream was a Fortnite stream.
This interaction on X has fueled speculation about a potential IShowSpeed skin. However, it is important to remember that the person in the interaction is not IShowSpeed himself. The fanpage, making a reference to his first-ever stream and streaming Fortnite on Christmas Eve, does hint at something going on behind the scenes. However, it doesn’t seem to hold a lot of weight unless it comes from IShowSpeed himself.
Since the rumor was started by a fan account, it definitely means that the IShowSpeed skin is not confirmed to be coming to Fortnite. IShowSpeed and his fans might have to wait a while before they can see him alongside his peers like Kai Cenat in a Fortnite match. However, this does not mean that the Speed skin will never be added.
Fortnite has always been a huge part of IShowSpeed’s online presence. From playing regular matches to having an iconic Creative 1v1 stream, IShowSpeed has already established his presence in the game. While the new leaks and rumors don’t have the strongest foundations, fans should never lose hope. They just might end up getting an IShowSpeed skin in Fortnite, along with an SIU emote, later down the line.
