Chappell Roan is officially entering the Fortnite universe. Epic Games confirmed that the GRAMMY-winning pop star will headline Fortnite Festival Season 13, launching on February 5, marking her first collaboration with the global gaming phenomenon. The update brings Roan’s vibrant world into the game, blending her theatrical pop identity with Fortnite’s ever-expanding music-driven ecosystem.
At the center of the collaboration is “Pink Pony Club,” which joins Fortnite’s lineup of Jam Tracks and anchors the new Heartcore Music Pass. The fan-favorite anthem arrives alongside returning tracks “Good Luck, Babe!”, “HOT TO GO!”, and “The Giver,” giving players multiple entry points into Roan’s catalog. The Pass also unlocks the Chappell Roan Outfit, featuring two selectable styles—pink and red—faithful recreations of the looks she has worn on tour.
Epic Games has leaned fully into Roan’s visual storytelling. Players can equip the Midwest Princess Keytar, a nod to her breakout era, while the Pink Pony Star Back Bling reacts dynamically, shifting from pink to red when music plays. For a contrasting aesthetic, Fortnite is also introducing the Roan of Arc Outfit, inspired by Roan’s medieval-glam performance of “Good Luck, Babe!” at the 2024 MTV VMAs. The look arrives alongside themed cosmetics including the Pink Pony Sidekick, traversal Femininomenon Emote, and additional accessories available in the Item Shop.
Roan’s arrival reinforces Fortnite Festival’s growing role as a major platform for pop culture crossovers. The mode has evolved into a virtual stage where music, fashion, and gaming intersect, previously spotlighting artists such as Bruno Mars, Sabrina Carpenter, Gorillaz, and Snoop Dogg. More recently, BLACKPINK’s Lisa headlined Fortnite Festival.
