Fortnite New Gem Sprites Release Date
Nine new Sprite variants that are being added with the upcoming Fortnite Sprite Day event this week on August 6, 2026. They are:
- Gem Water Sprite
- Gem Duck Sprite
- Gem Demon Sprite
- Gem Punk Sprite
- Gem Zero Point Sprite
- Gem Aura Sprite
- Gem Grim Sprite
- Gem Llama Sprite
- Gem Earth Sprite
They will be added to the game on August 6, at 9 AM ET. There is no scheduled update or downtime; expect them to be pushed via a hotfix. Here’s a list of release dates and times for the above-mentioned Fortnite Sprites in major time zones:
Region Date And Time US West (PT) August 6 at 6:00 AM US East (ET) August 6 at 9:00 AM Brazil (BRT) August 6 at 10:00 AM Europe (CEST) August 6 at 3:00 PM UK (BST) August 6 at 2:00 PM Japan (JST) and South Korea (KST) August 6 at 10:00 PM Australia (AEST) August 6 at 11:00 PM New Zealand (NZST) August 7 at 1:00 AM
You will be able to obtain them by searching Sprite Chests in Fortnite. The Sprite Locator in Fortnite can also be used for the task. If all else fails, ask your friends to trade the Sprites with you in Fortnite. Either way, with the season ending soon and Sprites not carrying over to Chapter 7 Season 4, don’t worry about it too much.
Fortnite New Gem Sprite Powers
Aside from their respective base abilities, Gem Sprites will be able to reduce a player’s fall damage by 30%. It is unclear why they seem so underpowered, especially when being released this late into the season. By our accounts, the Air Sprite in Fortnite is a much better choice.
Nevertheless, if you feel adventurous and want to obtain them, consider using a Peeky Peely Sprite in Fortnite to improve your odds. Holofoil Sprite variants in Fortnite are also a good choice to use, as they will improve the drop rate.
Which New Gem Sprite Could Be Rare In Fortnite?
The rarest new Sprite in Fortnite is going to be the Gem Zero Point Sprite, which has a drop rate of 0.00001%. It is obtainable, but your odds of winning 10 consecutive Victory Royales back to back are more plausible.
In fact, we wager that you have better odds of facing off against all three of the DC Bosses at once and winning. Of course, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t try. Who knows, fortune favors the bold.
Let us know which of these new Gem Sprites you’re most excited to get and why.
