How to get free Fortnite skins in December 2025

Epic Games’ hit battle royale Fortnite is known for its high-profile crossover skins as much as its fast-paced gunfights, but they can be quite expensive to buy, especially when it’s a well-known character like Godzilla or Mortal Kombat’s Sub-Zero.

So naturally, any chance to get free skins is welcome in the world of Fortnite, but they’re incredibly rare compared to other cosmetics like Gliders and Back Blings.

We’ve got you covered though, with all the information you need about free skins in Fortnite below, with details on every reward you can currently claim without needing to spend your V-Bucks or hard-earned cash in The Simpsons season.

Whenever more free outfits are added to the Battle Royale, we’ll add them to the table above.

How to get free skins in Fortnite

In-game events

Completing event-specific challenges will earn you free skins and cosmetics, such as opening a certain number of presents during Winterfest.

The Save the World mode also provides opportunities to get free goodies, which may include skins and V-Bucks.

Tournaments

Occasionally, Epic Games will host themed tournaments for crossover characters, like Beast Boy or The Flash, alongside ICON Series skins for streamers like Chica.

The highest-ranking players in these exclusive tournaments can earn the skin for free before it goes on sale in the shop.

Fortnite crew

It may not technically be free, but players who subscribe to Fortnite Crew via the official website will receive heaps of rewards including new skins and matching cosmetics every single month. It costs $11.99 (or £9.99) a month.

You’ll also get access to the Battle Pass via the subscription, and receive 1,000 V-Bucks, Legacy skin styles, and Rocket Pass premium for Rocket League each month.

Codes

The last option is to use codes for free skins. However, it’s incredibly rare for these to become available in the game. They occasionally happen via official social media giveaways, so if any are shared by Epic Games in 2025, we’ll add them to this page.

It’s also important to be wary of searching for free codes online, as there are a lot of potential scams out there.
