Fortnite’s Super season has been live for a few days now, and players are buzzing with excitement over the latest superhero-themed cosmetics. This includes both Fortnite’s original cast of super characters and new crossovers like DC’s Robin and David Corenswet’s Superman skin.
A lot of players have been asking how to unlock the Superman skin, but many are wondering why it isn’t available just yet. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
How to unlock the Superman skin in Fortnite
Regular Battle Pass players can't unlock the Superman Skin yet as it won’t be available until July 11, 2025. It’s a time-gated reward that unlocks on that date. Players will need to wait until then to claim it, as the timing aligns with the international release of DC and James Gunn’s highly anticipated Superman movie and reboot.
That said, there is a way to get the skin early and without having to wait for the film's premiere.
How to instantly unlock the Superman skin in Fortnite
You can unlock the Superman skin instantly by purchasing the Premium Battle Pass. This version of the Battle Pass grants access to the regular rewards track and immediately unlocks 25 levels, including the Superman skin.
The Premium Battle Pass costs 2,800 V-Bucks.
Why is the Superman skin locked in Fortnite?
Time-gated content is pretty standard in live-service games. It helps prevent players from unlocking everything at once, keeping the content rollout fresh and player engagement high over time. It also encourages purchases like the Premium Battle Pass for those who want early access to exclusive cosmetics.
