Fortnite’s Chapter 5, Season 4 may be featuring a Marvel theme, but that hasn’t stopped Epic from introducing collabs outside of the franchise. Streamer Rubius skin was previously added to the game, and now, Shaq has been released into the Battle Royale.
Much like other collaborations with real-life athletes, celebrities, content creators, or streamers, Shaq is part of the Icon Series rarity.

Release date
The DJ Diesel Shaq and Super Shaq skins were added to Fortnite on October 5, 2024. However, Epic hasn’t announced how long his cosmetics will be available to be obtained by players in the Battle Royale.
Epic initially revealed Shaq was coming to the game via a cinematic trailer for the skin, starting with Shaq jumping off the stage and then getting teleported to Fortnite. They then followed up with a post on October 5 to announce his cosmetics were finally released, showcasing the Gimme Shimmy Emote.

You can get both of the Shaq skins in Fortnite by purchasing the whole bundle for 3,400 V-Bucks in the Item Shop. However, if you just want either of the individual skins without any other cosmetic additions, you can also buy them separately for a cheaper price.
