Crash Bandicoot has officially bandicooted his way into Fortnite. As part of the Gaming Legends Series in Chapter 7 Season 4, Crash — along with his old rival-turned-teammate Spyro the Dragon — landed in the Item Shop on August 28, 2026. If you grew up spinning through crates on the original PlayStation, this is the crossover you’ve been waiting for. Here’s everything you need to know about grabbing the skin before it’s gone.
How to Get the Crash Bandicoot Skin in Fortnite
There are two ways to add Crash to your Locker: earn him for free through competitive play, or buy him straight from the shop. There’s no quest chain or challenge grind involved — it’s a direct purchase for most players, with a free route reserved for those who want to compete for it.
How to Get the Crash Bandicoot Skin from the Item Shop
For most players, the Item Shop is the simplest path. Here’s how to grab it:
- Launch Fortnite and open the Item Shop tab.
- Scroll to (or search for) the “Crash Bandicoot & Spyro the Dragon” section.
- Choose either the full bundle or the individual items you want.
- Press and hold the Purchase button to confirm.
- The cosmetics land directly in your Locker, ready to equip in Battle Royale, Reload, and other modes.
Crash Bandicoot Skin Price and Bundle Contents
The full Crash Bandicoot & Spyro the Dragon Bundle is priced at 3,000 V-Bucks, discounted from an original value of 4,900 V-Bucks if you bought every item separately. That includes:
- Crash Bandicoot Outfit (with a second style option)
- Aku Aku Back Bling
- Crash’s Wumpa Mace Pickaxe
- Bandicoot Wrap
- Spyro the Dragon Sidekick
- Crash’s Victory Emote
The Aku Aku Back Bling is a nice touch for longtime fans — having the floating mask hover behind your character is a deep-cut nod to the original trilogy.
Is the Crash Bandicoot Skin Available Separately?
Yes. If you don’t want the whole set, the Crash Bandicoot Outfit can be purchased on its own for 1,500 V-Bucks. The other pieces — Aku Aku, the pickaxe, the wrap, the emote, and the Spyro Sidekick — can also be bought individually, but buying the full bundle is the better deal if you want more than just the base skin.
Can You Get the Crash Bandicoot Skin for Free?
If you’d rather not spend V-Bucks, Epic gave players a competitive route: the Override Series: Crash Bandicoot Cup, held on August 28, 2026. Placing inside your region’s reward cutoff during the Cup unlocked the Outfit for free — no purchase required. Reward thresholds varied by region and player pool size, with tighter cutoffs in more competitive regions.
If you missed the Cup window, the Item Shop purchase is now your only remaining option.
When Will the Crash Bandicoot Skin Leave Fortnite?
The Crash Bandicoot collab is scheduled to rotate out of the Item Shop on September 11, 2026, at 8 PM ET. After that reset, there’s no confirmed return date, so if you want the skin, it’s worth deciding before the window closes rather than waiting and hoping for a restock.
Is the Crash Bandicoot Skin Worth Getting?
For fans of the original PlayStation-era platformer, this is one of the more faithful crossovers Fortnite has run. The bundle doesn’t just hand you a reskinned default — it comes with a genuinely nostalgic set of extras, from the Aku Aku Back Bling to the Wumpa-themed pickaxe, and pairing it with the Spyro Sidekick makes for one of the more complete “gaming legends” pairings in the Item Shop this season.
If you only care about the base look, the standalone 1,500 V-Bucks Outfit is a reasonable low-commitment pickup. But if Crash was part of your childhood, the full 3,000 V-Bucks bundle is where the collab actually earns its price tag — and with a hard exit date of September 11, it’s not one to sleep on.
