Fortnite’s New Star Wars Skin Requires a Disneyland Visit

The update

Epic Games has introduced the Forsworn Trooper skin for Fortnite. Players can obtain this cosmetic by linking their Epic Games account with their MyDisney account and visiting the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run attraction at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, or Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida. Upon boarding the ride, the MyDisney app detects the visit and marks the account as eligible for the reward. Players who do not visit the park can still access a related Star Wars adventure called Smuggler’s Gambit in Fortnite Creative to claim a loading screen.

Why it matters

This collaboration extends the Star Wars experience beyond the screen and theme park boundaries. By tying a digital reward to a physical location, the partnership creates a tangible incentive for fans to visit Disney resorts. It also highlights the growing trend of blending physical and digital economies in gaming.

What to watch

It remains unclear if this promotion will be limited to a specific timeframe or if other regions will gain access to the skin. Players should also monitor whether Epic Games plans to expand this model to other franchises or locations.
