Stone Cold Steve Austin Arrives in Fortnite
In summary, Stone Cold is now present in Fortnite.
In Showdown Act 2, Epic unveiled the Steve Austin skin, and they did a great job. It’s not a diluted version of the Austin 3:16 jacket and denim shorts. Fans of WWE will clock it right away. That degree of detail is important, and to be honest, it’s probably why this skin went viral on social media as soon as it was released.
In this same update, Save the World also received some love, but let’s face it, everyone is really talking about the Stone Cold skin.
How to Get the Skin in the Item Shop
From your main lobby, access the Item Shop. Finding it shouldn’t be that difficult because Epic typically creates a special WWE section for these collaborations. You can find it by scrolling along the sidebar if it isn’t immediately apparent to you.
Pricing comes next. There are 2,000 V-Bucks in the entire bundle. That is 1,500 V-Bucks if you only want the skin. If you wish to mix and match, the remaining cosmetics are sold individually.Source:

What does the bundle truly contain? You receive the primary Steve Austin ensemble, a pickaxe, an emote, and back bling with a skull motif. His whole “what?” era spirit is captured in his expression, which is really good and will cause your teammates to pause and stare. It’s the icing on the cake for a WWE fan. It’s still a fairly good collection of cosmetics for everyone else.
Before you start clicking about, make sure your V-Bucks balance is ready. Without the money, the goods won’t allow you to continue.
Availability and Limited-Time Window
The clock is in motion. The in-game timer indicates that this skin will leave the store on April 23, 2026, at 8 PM ET. It disappears after that, at least for the time being.
Is it possible for it to return? Perhaps. Fortnite occasionally recycles skins, but there is no set timeline or assurance. Before reappearing, some skins remain in the vault for more than a year. This window is your best option if you want it.
The traditional Fortnite tactic is the time-limited approach. It keeps things going, prevents the store from becoming stale, and provides players with an incentive to return frequently. Whether you like it or not, it works.
Another WWE Star Joins the Roster
There are other WWE names in this update besides Steve Austin. This feels less like a one-off appearance and more like a calculated push into WWE territory because Liv Morgan is also making her Fortnite debut at the same moment.

It’s a statement to have two wrestlers in one update. It indicates that Epic is not merely experimenting with this arrangement. This is almost a fantasy update for WWE fans, and if the trend continues, more names will most likely appear in the future.
