Fortnite’s Icon Series has become one of the biggest highlights of the game, featuring collaborations with athletes, musicians, and online creators. From MrBeast to Neymar Jr., Epic Games has brought several global stars into the Fortnite world. Now, new rumors suggest that Darren “IShowSpeed” Watkins Jr. could be the next big addition.
Although Epic Games has not officially announced it, a recent leak has made fans believe this collab could actually happen. Let’s break down everything we know so far.
IShowSpeed x Fortnite: How Did the Rumor Start?

The buzz began on September 9 during Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 3 livestream. While streaming, Kai pulled up his Discord on-screen, and viewers noticed a private group named “IShowSpeed x Fortnite Collab.”
This small detail was first spotted by a clip shared online, and fans immediately started speculating. If the group is real, it could mean Epic Games is already working on IShowSpeed’s Icon Series cosmetics. While nothing is confirmed, it’s hard to ignore the possibility.
When Could the Collab Happen?
Even if the leak is true, fans may have to wait. Epic usually spreads out Icon Series releases to keep the hype fresh. With Kai Cenat’s Icon skin set to release on September 12, it’s unlikely Epic will immediately follow it up with another creator collab.
If Speed’s skin is in development, the launch might happen later this year or early next year. The timing could also suggest a connection between Kai and Speed’s collabs, since both streamers have often appeared together on streams.
Why IShowSpeed Makes Sense for Fortnite
IShowSpeed isn’t just a random choice. He has become one of the most popular content creators in the world with over 40 million YouTube subscribers. His over-the-top personality, high-energy style, and memorable moments have made him a fan favorite.
Beyond YouTube, Speed has appeared on WWE shows, collaborated with celebrities, and even played Fortnite OG with Kai Cenat during marathon streams. With such a big fanbase and history with the game, an Icon Series skin seems like a perfect fit.
What Could Be in His Icon Series Bundle?
Although nothing is confirmed, Fortnite Icon Series collabs usually include:
- A custom outfit (skin) designed to reflect the creator.
- A back bling that represents their brand or personality.
- A pickaxe, emote, and sometimes a glider.
For IShowSpeed, fans could expect cosmetics inspired by his signature catchphrases, his fiery energy, or maybe even nods to his famous livestream moments.
Who is IShowSpeed?
IShowSpeed is one of the most well-known content producers and streamers in the world, in case you were unaware. In 2017, he started producing content, and with his intensity and personality, he eventually made a name for himself in the industry.
He has worked with several celebrities and made appearances on WWE programming in recent years. He and Kai Cenat even co-hosted a marathon stream in which they played Fortnite OG together for a while.
An IShowSpeed collaboration makes sense for both the game and its creator, considering his past involvement with Fortnite. Currently, he has over 40 million YouTube subscribers and is recognized worldwide. If this suspected leak has any merit, only time will tell.
