A potential new collaboration between Fortnite and popular streamer IShowSpeed has surfaced, with dataminers suggesting that an Icon skin inspired by him will be available soon. This highly anticipated launch is rumored to coincide with the Fortnite Winterfest 2025 event.
While whispers of the IShowSpeed skin have circulated since October, recent datamining activity has elevated these rumors to a more concrete possibility. NotPaloLeaks on X announced that the skin is set to drop on December 24, 2025, at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET, just in time for Christmas Eve. However, some dataminers remain cautious about fully confirming IShowSpeed as the skin’s inspiration. HypeX noted that while speculation surrounds IShowSpeed, Fortnite has not officially identified the theme behind this upcoming release.
Fans have been eagerly watching IShowSpeed’s interactions online. A recent post suggested that his December 24 stream would revisit his initial streaming experience, leading many to believe this ties into the skin’s upcoming release. Although confidence among dataminers varies, a surprise collaboration is widely expected on the evening of December 24.
In addition to the skin leak, details regarding the potential cosmetic items associated with the IShowSpeed collaboration have also emerged. According to dataminer Loolo_WRLD, the bundle might include two skin variants, two back blings, two pickaxes, a glider, a wrap, and a jam track. Interestingly, it appears that there may not be any emotes tied to this particular release.
Prominent Fortnite dataminer FireMonkey also supported the rumor, emphasizing the significance of the collaboration and its potential to encapsulate IShowSpeed’s cultural impact. The release of this set of cosmetics would mark the final Icon Series rollout of the year.
