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.
There will also be new music in the Battle Royale, borrowed from Rocket League's Love ISLV playlist last month, and celebrating specifically LGBTQ+ musicians:
Love Izlv Radio
BEATBOX
- Big Freedia – Platinum
- Lil Nas X – Montero
RADIO UNDERGROUND
- King Princess – Pain
- Troye Sivan – STUD
- Ben Platt – Imagine
POWER PLAY
- Daya – Bad Girl
- Hayley Kiyoko – Found My Friends
- Kim Petras – Malibu
The Rainbow Royale event runs from today, July 20th, through to July 27th at 8pm ET (July 28th, 1am BST).
