Fortnite: Battle Royale will be getting two new skins and a glider via a promotion with Twitch Prime, according to a post on Reddit this morning and a later confirmation from Epic Games.
Reddit user Remix850 posted this image along with a title saying that they had seen it on the front page of Amazon. It features two purple and black-themed skins, and a glider with the same color scheme.
Later in the thread, an official post from an Epic Games employee confirmed that the offer leaked a few days ahead of schedule, and that it is real.
Since its inception in the fall of 2016, Twitch Prime has offered various loot for a number of games, including outfits for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds that later went on to sell at high prices on Steam’s marketplace.
As Fortnite continues its meteoric rise among gamers and on Twitch itself, this partnership seemed inevitable. These new skins are just supplementary to the massive amount of content that was just added to the game in its 3.0 update.
Update: Feb. 28, 2018, 11:20am CT
The Twitch Prime loot is now available in-game for players who have linked their Epic Games account to their Twitch accounts. Players must log in to Twitch to claim the offer.
The loot includes two skins, a back bling, a glider, and four exclusive Twitch emotes, as well as two heroes in Save the World.
As the offer has just rolled out, users may experience error screens. Epic Games and Twitch are both aware and are working through the problems right now.
