Epic Games is expanding its range of crossovers in a new partnership with Tesla. Starting this week, players can drive the electric car company’s iconic (or notorious, depending on who you ask) Cybertruck in both Fortnite and Rocket League.
In a teaser trailer, Fortnite highlights the Cybertruck’s power … even if its durability in real life is somewhat questionable.
Vehicles were first added to Fortnite in Season 4 (2018). Prior to its deal with Tesla, Epic previously partnered with Ferrari to bring its 296 GTB to the game in 2021.
Psyonix and Epic have partnered with numerous brands to bring iconic vehicles to Rocket League, including car manufacturers like Ford, McLaren, and BMW, and entertainment properties like Jurassic Park, Batman, and James Bond. The title has also teamed up with major racing leagues like NASCAR and Formula 1 to engage a younger audience in competitive events.

Many of Rocket League’s partnerships were established before Epic’s acquisition of Psyonix in 2019.
Epic has not disclosed pricing details for the Cybertruck skins in Fortnite and Rocket League. Both skins will be available for purchase starting July 23, 2024.
Additionally, Fortnite hinted at another upcoming collaboration with apparel brand, Adidas. This follows previous apparel-focused partnerships with high-end designers like Ralph Lauren and sporty brands like Nike.
