- Epic Games has not announced a Michael Jackson skin coming to Fortnite anytime soon.
- The recent rumours stem from concept art shared by X user imtonaa.
- Fortnite could add Michael Jackson Jam Tracks around the release of the "Michael" biopic.
If you’re wondering who the next major Fortnite collab is to appear in the game, rumor has it that the king of pop, Michael Jackson, may finally get his own skin. For several months now, there has been a certain amount of speculation among the player community, and now that the latest biopic is releasing, they’ve reached a fever pitch. So let’s break it down, whether Michael Jackson is coming to Fortnite or not.
Is Michael Jackson Skin Coming to Fortnite?
No, there is no definitive evidence that Michael Jackson is being added to the roster of Fortnite skins. Any reports surrounding the same are purely based on rumours and speculation, and not official communication from Epic Games or Michael Jackson’s estate.
The rumours surrounding a possible Fortnite Michael Jackson skin have reached a fever pitch due to a variety of factors. This includes the King of Pop’s upcoming biopic, Michael, which is slated for release on April 24, 2026. Given the popularity of the artist and a major upcoming film release, rumours have circulated around the Fortnite community about a possible collaboration, despite it not being true.
Artists and other prominent personalities within the Fortnite community have also shared highly detailed renders of what a Michael Jackson Fortnite skin could look like. The renders for the Fortnite MJ skin feature styles from Bad, Smooth Criminal, and Thriller. While the renders look extremely professional, they are fan-made renders created by X user imtonaa and not a part of the in-game files.
Does Fortnite Have Any Michael Jackson Jam Tracks?
No, there are no dedicated Michael Jackson Jam Tracks in Fortnite. The game only has 1 Jam Track that features Michael Jackson as an artist. This is the song ‘ABC’ by the Jackson 5, a group that included Michal Jackson and other members of his family. Apart from this, Epic has not released any solo MJ Jam Tracks.
This could soon change with the release of the Michael biopic. Players could see some of Michael Jackson’s most iconic tracks, like Smooth Criminal and Billie Jean, as Jam Tracks in the game. This would allow players to embody the King of Pop on the stage while also using the songs as their victory music using Fortnite Moments. However, Epic Games has not confirmed this yet.
