Straight from the old battle pass!

Fortnite fans who have grinded Chapter 1 Season X are now finally getting something amazing. Epic Games is now rewarding the OG players with a new Kitsune sidekick in the game for free.

This fox companion was a Tier 28 Battle Pass back bling from 2019, and now it is a fully customizable sidekick in the game. You don’t have to do any quests, no codes and no V-Bucks needed. Let’s check out more details in this article.

How do you qualify for free sidekick?

Fans and players need to have the original Kitsune Back Bling from Chapter 1 Season X Battle Pass (Tier 28).

When is the Kitsune Sidekick free unlock available?

Live now for eligible players! Log in after Jan 3 reset; full shop release 7 PM ET.

Do I need quests to get the free Kitsune Sidekick?

Nope, automatic for Chapter 1 Season X back bling owners. Just log in!

Can I get Kitsune Sidekick on any account or platform?

Must be the account owning the original back bling. Cross-save works via Epic.
