Fortnite Stone Cold Steve Austin skin: Release date, what to expect & more

Unique Beer Chug emote is also arriving!

It’s almost Wrestlemania time and Epic Games is back with its collaboration with WWE Superstars. This time in Fortnite, the fans are getting the iconic Stone Cold Steve Austin skin.

This announcement was officially revealed by the game’s official social media channel, which also provided the first preview of the legendary superstar’s look in the game. Let’s check out more details in this article.

Release date & what to expect

This legendary collaboration is all set to arrive with the 40.20 update on April 16, 2026. This skin is staying true to the Stone Cold iconic persona.

It also features his signature “Austin 3:16” aesthetic as well. It seems to go pretty well with both the wrestling fans and gamers.

Players can expect his classic outfit, black jacket and denim shorts, which are faithfully recreated in the game’s style.

In the bundle, players also expect some themed cosmetics such as a skull-inspired back bling and a unique pickaxe resembling a Slurp Juice container.

One of the best parts of this collaboration is the inclusion of Stone Cold’s famous Beer Chug celebration. However, since the game is Teen (T) rated, Epic Games has changed some things.

Instead of Beer, Stone Cold is chugging Fortnite-friendly liquid, which is likely the Slurp Juice. I can already expect this emote to be performed by every player when it releases.

Conclusion

The previously leaked details also suggested that we might get Liv Morgan’s Fortnite skin as well. Although, for now, Epic Games or WWE has not officially announced anything yet.

However, for now, the fans are pretty hyped for Stone Cold skin and the bundle, which will appear in the item shop shortly after the update goes live on April 16, 2026.
