In partnership with Atlantic Records, Fortnite is bringing Silk Sonic into the game with a brand new radio station, Outfits based on their signature style, and a player tournament.

The Silk Sonic duo are long time Fortnite favorites – in September 2020, Anderson .Paak performed a ‘Spotlight Concert Series’ in the game, and in April 2021, Bruno Mars’ ‘Leave The Door Open’ emote came to Fortnite.
