After a week of numerous leaks and teasers, Fortnite players can finally unlock Lionel Messi in the game.
Following the inclusion of Neymar and Harry Kane, Messi becomes the latest football legend to join the Fortnite Icon Series, allowing fans worldwide to take control of one of the sport's greatest players.
Epic Games has introduced two Messi skins in the Item Shop. The first features Messi in a kit closely resembling Argentina's black away jersey, complete with the captain's armband. The second, titled "Streetwear Spark Messi," shows him dressed casually in jeans and a white hoodie with a pink number 10 on the front, a tribute to his iconic shirt number and his time with Inter Miami.
How to Unlock Lionel Messi in Fortnite
To get Lionel Messi in Fortnite, players can purchase his skins directly from the Item Shop. The shop offers both the default Messi skin and the Streetwear Spark Messi skin.
These two skins can be bought individually or as part of the Lionel Messi Bundle, which also includes LEGO-style variants and additional skin styles. The default Messi skin comes with the "Might" variant, turning him into a white lion wearing a crown, while the "Zeal" variant gives Messi a gold-painted lion appearance with the same crown.
Pricing for the Lionel Messi Skins in Fortnite
The Lionel Messi Bundle is available for 2,800 V-Bucks. Alternatively, each skin can be purchased separately for 1,800 V-Bucks (default Messi) and 1,500 V-Bucks (Streetwear Spark Messi).
Additionally, two Messi-inspired Pickaxes are available for 800 V-Bucks each. Players who need more V-Bucks can either buy them from the Item Shop or continue earning in-game currency by progressing through the Chapter 6 Season 1 Battle Pass.
As with all limited-time cosmetics in Fortnite, the Messi Bundle and skins will only be available for a short period, so be sure to grab them before they disappear.
