Rainbow Royale in Fortnite

Pride Month may have ended, but pride (lowercase) is all year round — and that includes video games. Fortnite has added a new event called Rainbow Royale to the game, celebrating diversity, community, and its many LGBTQ+ players with rainbow items, new songs by LGBTQ+ artists, and massive pride flags.

The rainbow items include:

  • Four new rainbow sprays (llama, heart, disco ball grenade, and star)
  • A "Sunshine & Rainbows" wrap
  • The "Take a'Bow" emote

There is also a new rainbow flag prop in Fortnite Creative.
