The item shop in Fortnite is known for featuring unique characters from various crossovers, including those from different worlds of pop culture. In addition to fictional characters, real-world personalities like streamers, musicians, and athletes are also featured as skins in the game. Recently, the focus has been on musicians featured in the Fortnite Festival mode, but fans have been eagerly waiting for the return of the Bruno Mars Fortnite skin.
Although Fortnite has featured several artists in the past, it has been over 700 days since Bruno Mars was last seen in the game. Despite being heavily promoted during his initial appearance, the artist took a long break, leaving fans disappointed. While other skins like the Weekend lingered in the Item Shop for extended periods, players were left wondering why the Bruno Mars skin took so long to make a comeback.

Bruno Mars Fortnite Skin Is Back
In the latest Item Shop update, fans were excited to see the return of the Bruno Mars skin along with the rest of the Silk Sonic set. This collab includes the Bruno Mars Skin, Anderson Paak skin, and the Boom Bap pickaxe, all available for purchase with V-Bucks.
Silk Sonic Set
- Bruno Mars Skin – 1,800 V-Bucks
- Anderson Paak – 1,500 V-Bucks
- Boom Bap Pickaxe – 500 V-Bucks
After a long absence, these items have finally made a comeback. The reason for their extended absence remains unclear, as Epic Games does not typically provide explanations for items missing from the Item Shop. Some players have speculated that licensing issues may have been a factor, particularly concerning alternate versions of the skins for use in other games like Lego and Fall Guys. With the Bruno Mars skin now available in the store, fans who have been eagerly waiting can finally get their hands on it.
