Fortnite Patrick Star Sidekick: How to Get It and Price

You can get the Patrick Star Fortnite Sidekick by purchasing it in the Item Shop. The Sidekick was released on July 23, 2026, at 8 PM ET, and it’s a part of the second wave of the Fortnite x SpongeBob collaboration. This wave also introduces the Bikini Bottom Ice Spice skin to the game.

That said, here are all the steps you can follow to purchase the Patrick Star Sidekick:

• Launch Fortnite and head to the Item Shop through the top bar.
• Look for the SpongeBob collab section.
• Since the collab is Wave 2 of a major collaboration, players should find it at the top.
• Click on the Patrick Star Sidekick (1,800 V-Bucks).
• Make sure you have enough V-Bucks in your account to go through with the purchase.
• Click and hold the Purchase button.
• Head to your locker, and you should find the Patrick Star Sidekick.

Since Patrick has been released alongside the new Ice Spice skin, players can also get the new Sidekick at a discounted price through a bundle. However, if you are looking for cheaper cosmetics, you can check out the free Fortnite skins and other cosmetics that are available to claim right now.

Additionally, if you are running low on V-Bucks to purchase the Patrick Star Sidekick, you can redeem any V-Bucks Cards you might have in your back pocket. However, remember that, much like all cosmetics, the Patrick Sidekick will leave the Fortnite Item Shop on August 2, 2026, at 8 PM ET.
