The Festive Reveal and Streaming Milestone
Darren Watkins Jr., known globally as IShowSpeed, officially debuted in the Fortnite Icon Series on Christmas Eve 2025. The high energy reveal occurred during a YouTube livestream that reached millions of viewers as he reacted to his own in-game avatar. This collaboration represents a full circle moment for the creator whose early career was largely defined by his Fortnite content.
Bundle Contents and Item Shop Pricing
The complete IShowSpeed bundle is currently available in the Item Shop for 3,000 V-Bucks. It features the base IShowSpeed outfit alongside a reactive variant titled ISuperSpeed that changes during gameplay. The set also includes the Speed Cam back bling, a Trident pickaxe, and the unique Barrier Breaker emote which captures his trademark explosive energy.
Server Stability and Christmas Eve Outages
High demand for the new skin coincided with a major login outage that affected Fortnite and Rocket League on Christmas Eve. Epic Games deployed a series of fixes throughout the night to stabilize the authentication servers for the holiday player base. Services were fully restored by the morning of December 25 to ensure everyone could finally use their new cosmetics.
Limited Time Availability and Future Content
Collectors have until January 3, 2026, to purchase the bundle before it rotates out of the seasonal shop. Leaks suggest that additional styles and creator collaborations may follow in early 2026 to build on this holiday momentum. This release caps off a massive year for the Icon Series which has increasingly focused on the biggest names in streaming culture.
