Crossovers have been a major part of Fortnite's appeal ever since the legendary Fortnite Thanos event in 2018. Many media brands have taken advantage of Fortnite's mass audience for tie-in marketing, and subsequent crossovers have paired skins and cosmetics with limited-time game modes.

The Avengers: Infinity War crossover was Fortnite's first, and it started a cascade of similar collaborations. It's no wonder brands are so interested in appearing in Fortnite: Millions of people tuned in to watch Fortnite's Chapter 2 black hole launch, crashing Twitch servers for what was essentially just the beginning of a scheduled maintenance period. Fortnite has an incredible amount of power as the top-earning video game, serving as - like its App Store description says - a "party hub" as much as a video game.

Companies will likely continue to utilize Fortnite as a way to promote their properties, but there have already been plenty of skins to entice existing fans. Here are all the Fortnite crossover outfits (not including phone promotions, like Samsung's Galaxy skin, or skins included in console bundles), as well as how players can or could earn them. Most of these skins were part of limited-time promotions, but some have come back as part of recurring events.

Fortnite's Marvel Crossover Skins

Despite holding the title of Fortnite's first and most iconic crossover, only three Marvel skins have ever come to Fortnite. The Black Widow and Star-Lord outfits were both available starting on April 25, 2019, as part of the Avengers: Endgame Fortnite promotion. Black Widow was available in the Item Shop for 1,500 V-Bucks and was part of the Avengers set (which also included a Quinjet Glider, Widow's Bite Harvesting Tool, and other cosmetics). Star-Lord also cost 1,500 V-Bucks and was part of the Guardians of the Galaxy set. These skins are no longer available.

Deadpool's outfit, on the other hand, is soon to be available in-game, but players won't find it in the Item Shop. For the launch of Season 2 Chapter 2, Epic and Marvel decided to launch a unique Deadpool event. In order to unlock the secret battle pass skin, players will have to find Deadpool's hideout in Fortnite and complete various challenges for him.

Fortnite's Star Wars Crossover Skins

As part of a strange The Rise of Skywalker tie-in featuring a message from Palpatine in Fortnite, five "New Trilogy" skins were introduced to the game: Kylo Ren, Rey, Finn, Zorii Bliss, and the Sith Trooper. These became available for purchase on December 20, 2019 for 1,500 V-Bucks each. A number of other cosmetics were also available, including a Millennium Falcon Glider.

One day before the launch of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, an Imperial Stormtrooper outfit came to Fortnite's Item Shop for 1,500 V-Bucks. Just like the other Star Wars skins, the Stormtrooper is no longer available in Fortnite itself, but players can still get it if they purchase a copy of Jedi: Fallen Order from the Epic Games Store before November 20, 2020.

Fortnite's DC Crossover Skins

As part of a September 2019 crossover event that added Gotham City into Fortnite, two Batman skins became available to purchase exclusively in the Cash Shop. Both the Batman Comic Book and Batman Dark Knight outfits were available in a $19.99 bundle (which also included a Harvesting Tool, two Back Bling capes, and a Glider). A Catwoman Comic Book outfit was available in the Item Shop for the standard 1,500 V-Buck price, as well, along with a few additional cosmetics.

The Harley Quinn Fortnite crossover recently ended, but while it was active, players could purchase the Harley Quinn skin for 1,500 V-Bucks. A Birds of Prey movie style could then be unlocked for the skin through various challenges.

Fortnite's "Icon" Crossover Skins

Three Fortnite crossovers have pertained to real-life celebrities rather than fictional characters. This "Icons" series has included musicians Marshmallow and Major Lazer, as well as popular Fortnite streamer Ninja. The Marshmallow event was paired with an in-game Marshmallow concert in early 2019, establishing Fortnite as the aforementioned "party hub." Major Lazer's skin cost 1,600 V-Bucks, while the other two cost 1,500. Additional cosmetics were available alongside each of the Icons skins.

Fortnite's Other Pop Culture Crossover Skins

Along with the big, multi-skin media franchise tie-ins, Fortnite has also had a number of smaller crossovers. Along with a limited-time mode, the John Wick crossover introduced two skins, Sophia and John Wick, for 1,500 and 2,000 V-Bucks, respectively. The Fortnite x Borderlands crossover is the only one so far that introduced content exclusively from another video game, celebrating the launch of Borderlands 3 with the 2,000-V-Buck Psycho Bundle and the cell-shaded Pandora map area. Fortnite has also seen crossovers with Netflix's Stranger Things and the Jordan shoe brand, each of which introduced skins and extra content.All of these themes are unlikely to return unless more relevant media releases for them at a later date.

The most likely of all the crossover skins to return are those in the Fourth Down set. These American football-themed skins can be equipped with a style option for each of the 32 NFL teams. The skins were originally introduced for 1,500 V-Bucks each in November 2018, but Epic Games brought back the NFL cosmetics for the Super Bowl in 2020, so they'll likely come back again in the future.
