Fortnite is one of the most popular battle royales out right now, frequently adding in new skins from some of the best partnerships by Epic Games. The Icon Series features some of the most prominent content creators from the community, providing them with a skin inside the game. With IShowSpeed gaining recent popularity, many are curious about whether he has a skin in Fortnite.
Does IShowSpeed have a Fortnite skin?
While IShowSpeed has undoubtedly gained popularity in the last year, he has also been a controversial figure. Unfortunately for his fans, Speed does not currently have a Fortnite skin. The YouTuber will often play wagers or bet on Creative matches, showing a lot of skill in the building while doing so. That being said, he’s not exclusively known for streaming Fortnite like SypherPK or Chica, who have both previously received Icon Series skins.
IShowSpeed continues to grow in popularity in 2023, being seen in many more in-person events as opposed to the last few years of growing in popularity on streaming platforms.
Even if he were to become more Fortnite-focused, Epic would likely not look kindly on some of the clips that have surfaced of IShowSpeed in competitive games. As recently as April of this year, Speed was banned from VALORANT for referring to a female player as a “bitch” for talking to him during a match.
Epic is most likely not going to put someone in its game that it views as a liability. If Speed were to get a skin, and then do something that drives down his reputation, Epic would have to remove the skin and likely issue refunds. That would mean lost revenue, which is never something that a publisher wants to face.
