Fortnite and Rocket League are once again teaming up for their annual Summer Road Trip event, offering players a trove of free in-game rewards. Starting Tuesday, July 22, players can unlock an exclusive Fortnite skin, a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 car body usable in both games, and a Red Hot Chili Peppers jam track. To collect all rewards, participation in both games is essential. The event concludes on August 4 for Rocket League and August 7 for Fortnite.
Fortnite Rewards & Quests
Fortnite players will receive new daily quests designed to encourage XP gain while playing in a party. These quests will alternate between Epic-created modes (like Battle Royale and Reload) and community-made games. Each completed quest unlocks a new reward:
- Completing one quest awards `The Zephyr Song` by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
- Finishing eight quests unlocks the highly anticipated Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 car body.
- Other rewards include various cosmetic items such as sprays, emoticons, a high-quality wrap, and a unique rubber ducky pickaxe.
Rocket League Rewards & Inter-Game Unlocks
The Rocket League portion of the event introduces most of its quests and rewards on day one, with the final Corvette unlock quest becoming available on July 28. Notably, some Rocket League challenges grant Fortnite-exclusive items that cannot be obtained within Fortnite itself:
- Successfully performing 15 saves during the Summer Road Trip unlocks the Hairpin Fortnite skin.
- Playing a private match with mutators will earn a Fortnite glider resembling a Rocket League ball.
Event Comparison & Exclusivity Details
This year`s Summer Road Trip features slightly more rewards and significantly less controversy compared to the previous year`s event, which famously offered the divisive Tesla Cybertruck. A key difference this time is the introduction of Rocket League achievements that yield Fortnite-specific cosmetics. While most event rewards, including the jam track and the Corvette, are expected to eventually appear in the item shop (as seen with the Cybertruck last August), the ZR1 Circuit decal for the Corvette is confirmed to be an event-exclusive item, available only to participants.

Beyond the Summer Road Trip, Fortnite is also set to introduce Fantastic Four-themed skins and shoes to its item shop this Friday, offering even more customization options for players.
