How many skins are there in Fortnite?

Fortnite skins have evolved from basic soldier-type outfits to amazing original designs and pop culture collaborations. Since Fortnite collaborates with many different games, movies, and TV shows, and even popular streamers, the amount of Fornite skins and cosmetics available is always increasing.

How many skins does Fortnite have in 2025?

The number of Fortnite skins grows steadily over time. As of February 2025, there are 2,208 skins in Fortnite, including the base recruit skins (defaults). Each new season, you will see new skins added via the Battle Pass and with the Fortnite Crew Pass, along with many other cosmetic items like gliders, pickaxes and emotes.

2023 and 2024 saw the introduction of many more cosmetics available in the Item Shop, including customizable cars, shoes (known as Kicks), and LEGO Fortnite build items. Each Fortnite OG season brings another new pass full of OG-inspired outfits, increasing the number of available Fortnite skins even more. This has expanded players’ ability to customize their locker load out, bringing new ways to express themselves through their Fortnite skins.

How Fortnite skins impact gameplay

There is an interesting phenomenon in Fortnite where every season or so, a new skin is seen as the ‘sweaty’ skin. Throughout 2024, if you were chased across the map by an enemy player who seemed desperate for the kill, it was usually a player using the Aura skin or a soccer player outfit. Often, the sweatiest skin is the one that was free or relatively cheap that season, so many players would use it and it would seem like you were always eliminated by that skin. If you ask players to name the sweatiest skin today, the one mentioned most would be the superhero skin, particularly those who use an all-black or all-gray design. These can give a slight tactical advantage by helping the player blend into the background and become less noticeable compared to other, more colorful designs.

Before the Fortnite OG pass reintroduced old skins like Renegade Raider, those skins would also be seen as players to avoid. The fact they had an old skin from Chapter One season one would put the fear of god in any player who hadn’t been playing that long. Now, however, new players have been able to purchase the OG skins, making those skins less of a threat.
