The NBA has officially partnered with Fortnite to create NBA outfits, NBA Team Battles and more within the world of the massively popular video game.
Players will soon be able to represent any NBA team in
Fortnite. The battle royale game’s latest collaboration adds 30 National Basketball Association skins one for each team in the league. Fortnite x NBA: The Crossover will also introduce the Hookshot Emote and Mini Hoop Back Bling.
How to unlock the Fortnite x NBA Outfits, Back Bling, and Emote
To unlock the Fortnite x NBA outfits, Back Bling, and emote, players will want to visit the Item Shop on May 21 at 8 PM ET.
Players can purchase the In The Paint Set to receive 31 National Basketball Association uniforms, representing all 30 of the league’s teams. The Shoot & Score Pack includes the Hookshot Emote and Mini Hoop Back Bling, which can feature any NBA team logo.
At this point, it’s hard to think of major entertainment brands that Fortnite
hasn’t collaborated with. Though there has been plenty of sports representation in the battle royale game, Fortnite hasn’t seen much basketball action. That’s set to change, as Epic Games has announced that the NBA is coming to Fortnite with official outfits, as well as a limited-time mode, all in celebration of the NBA Playoffs.
Epic Games released a new trailer to reveal the NBA collaboration with Fortnite. We see characters sporting different jerseys from around the league, from the Brooklyn Nets to the Los Angeles Lakers, every team is represented in the “crossover” event. The NBA Playoffs begin this weekend, and players will be able to show their support in-game. The NBA outfits will come to the Fortnite item shop on Friday, May 21 at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET.
