Fortnite has collaborated with hundreds of brands and franchises over the years. These crossovers have come in all sorts of shapes and forms, whether it's a special event, skins, jam tracks, or even in-game concerts. A new sidekick is joining the Fortnite universe as a result of a collaboration with Super Meat Boy.
To promote the latest entry in the series, Super Meat Boy 3D, Epic Games is bringing Super Meat Boy to the game, and some players can even get him for free. This article tells players who is eligible to receive the Super Meat Boy sidekick for free in Fortnite.
How to Get the Super Meat Boy Sidekick for Free in Fortnite
Epic Games is giving away the Super Meat Boy sidekick in Fortnite to players who purchase Super Meat Boy 3D on the Epic Games Store. Super Meat Boy 3D will be available for purchase on the Epic Games Store for $22.49 starting March 31, 2026, at 8 PM ET. This is when the cosmetic also becomes available in Fortnite, so as soon as they make the purchase, it will be automatically added to their in-game locker.
According to the official Super Meat Boy sidekick FAQ page, the sidekick offer will be available as long as Super Meat Boy 3D is for sale on the Epic Games Store.
Players who don't intend on getting Super Meat Boy on the Epic Games Store can buy the Super Meat Boy sidekick once it comes out in the Item Shop. However, it will cost 1,500 V-Bucks, which is approximately $15,99, depending on the V-Bucks pack that players purchase.
