The Summer is upon us as the Sabrina Carpenter Fortnite Festival season arrives, loaded with tweaks to gameplay, but most importantly, a mountain of cosmetics to pay respect to the popstar of the moment.
It’s finally time for a new Fortnite Festival season, and though we’re sad to see Hatsune Miku’s Music Pass go (especially as its Miku Item Shop cosmetics gave us the chance to make our John Cena outfit do a Miku Miku Beam), it’s time to welcome in something new. And as it turns out, we got perhaps the summeriest headliner we could have asked for.
The new Sabrina Carpenter Fortnite Festival season has arrived after the update 34.30 downtime, bringing the iconic popstar to the island to dish out some pain to foes – but more importantly, putting her on the main stage of the rhythm game with a heap of her best-known songs in celebration of the super-hit-laden Short n’ Sweet.
There’s a hug sum of new cosmetics to explore across Festival and the wider Fortnite experience, but it doesn’t end there, as Fortnite has introduced new changes to the game that could alter how players hit their emotes and embarrass the enemies they’ve just downed. So, what’s new? Here’s everything you need to know about the new Sabrina Carpenter Fortnite Festival season.
The leading means of bagging yourself some Sabrina Carpenter Fortnite cosmetics is through the brand new Music Pass, which you can buy for 1,000 V-Bucks (that’s £6.99 / $8.99 / $11.95) or can unlock via a subscription to Fortnite Crew. The Music Pass will run until the end of the Fortnite Festival season, which will be on June 17, 2025.
Here is every cosmetic you can unlock in the Sabrina Carpenter Fortnite Festival Music Pass, with each free item being highlighted in bold:
Along with the Music Pass, there are more Sabrina Carpenter Fortnite cosmetics to be found in the Item Shop, which boasts the “A Sweet Little Bundle” collection, which will set you back 2,800 V-Bucks. If you’re looking to purchase the items from an empty wallet, your best bet is to pick up a bundle of 2,800 V-Bucks for £17.49 / $22.99 / AU$30.35. It’s a lot of money, but if you’re a superfan, we’re willing to bet it won’t stop you.
The Item Shop is home to the following Sabrina Carpenter Fortnite cosmetics until the end of the season:
The new Sabrina Carpenter Fortnite Festival brings with it some changes to how Emotes work, with many new and classic moves being recategorised to be Dance Emotes. Dance Emotes are largely the same as before, but players will be able to join in the dance by approaching and interacting with you, much like existing collaborative Emotes.
Along with this comes changes to Jam Tracks, which will now allow you to mix up four loops at the same time, all from different songs if you like. If you were hopeful that your new Sabrina Carpenter Fortnite Jam Tracks would be able to mesh with Slipknot drums and the instrumentation of Never Gonna Give You Up, then you’re in luck.
In Fortnite Festival Season 8, your favourited cosmetics will appear as bandmates alongside you while you’re playing, adding in the Kicks, Back Blings and Instruments you’ve added as favourites in your locker.
Epic Games has also revealed a short period of monetised VOD content for streamers, offering players seven days to play through the new Sabrina Carpenter Fortnite Festival Jam Tracks Please Please Please and Taste without suffering the risk of monetization claims. It’s a nice touch that will also give the game a nice boost in publicity.
That’s all you need to know about the new Sabrina Carpenter Fortnite Festival update! It’s a big deal for sure, and it’s an exciting time to be jumping back into the game. We’ll see you on the newly glamorised island.
