As the world counts down to the release of Christopher Nolan’s latest cinematic venture, Epic Games has announced The Odyssey Fortnite skin. The skin translates Matt Damon’s interpretation of Odysseus from Homer’s The Odyssey, and, funnily enough, players can now play as him in Fortnite. And the best part is, there is a chance that you can get it for free. Wondering how you can do so? We’ve got you covered right here.
The Odyssey Fortnite Skin: How to Get All Cosmetics for Free
Players can get the Odysseus Fortnite skin for free by participating in The Odyssey Cup. Just like previous free Fortnite skin cups, players will have to battle it out and rank high enough to unlock the Odysseus outfit, along with other themed cosmetics from Christopher Nolan’s new epic.
The Odyssey Cup will be a Solo Cup that will take place on July 15-16, 2026. Players will be able to play the cup across both the Battle Royale and Zero Build modes in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3. Additionally, Epic will also be organising a Mobile variant of The Odyssey Cup in the Reload mode. With Fortnite being back on iOS, mobile players can also have a chance to participate. For more information, you can head to the in-game Compete tab.
Given below is a breakdown of the placements players need to secure to get The Odyssey skin and other rewards in Fortnite for free:
| Reward | Rank / Requirement |

| Odysseus skin | 1-100th |
| Odysseus’ Xiphos pickaxe | 1-100th |
| Bow of Iphytus back bling | 1-100th |

How to Get The Odyssey Skin in Fortnite Item Shop
For players who fail to rank high enough in The Odyssey Fortnite Skin Cup, Epic has you covered. You will also be able to purchase the Odyssey skin in the Fortnite Item Shop. At the time of writing, it is not confirmed when the skin will be coming to the Item Shop.
However, if previous free skins are anything to go by, the Odysseus skin should arrive in the Item Shop on July 17, 2026, at 8 PM ET. This not only aligns with usual major collab patterns but also lines up with the release of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, which comes out on the same day.
