The latest Fortnite update, marking the game`s first in a month, introduces a valuable new PlayStation Plus-exclusive cosmetic for PlayStation players. The `Emerald Gamer` pack is freely available to all PS Plus subscribers, regardless of their membership tier. Players can redeem this pack via the PlayStation Store on PS4 and PS5, through the PS App, or directly on the web. To activate the skin within Fortnite, users must first launch the game on a PlayStation console after claiming the pack. Once activated, the skin will be accessible across all platforms.
This new offering includes the unique `Sage` skin, complete with a coordinating back bling and pickaxe. Unlike many previous PS Plus skins, which were often re-stylings of existing characters (like the Shinji skin`s take on Master Key from Chapter 1 Season 8), Sage is an entirely original design. The `Emerald Gamer` pack will be available for redemption in the PlayStation Store until September 23rd.
This `Emerald Gamer` pack is the 30th PlayStation Plus exclusive released for Fortnite. Historically, items from these packs have never appeared in the in-game item shop, reinforcing their status as exclusive content, even if not explicitly labeled as such.
Beyond the PS Plus offering, other complimentary skins are also available in Fortnite. Players who connect their Lego account with their Epic Games account by August 31st will be rewarded with a free `First Order Stormtrooper` skin from Star Wars. Additionally, redeeming a Fortnite or Epic Games Store gift card before the surprisingly distant deadline of December 31, 2026, will grant players the `Ghost Monks` skin.
