I was three matches into Rocket League when the Ratatouille banner blinked across my screen and my stomach dropped—this event ends fast. I realized you can get the cutest Pixar car cosmetics without dropping a single V-Buck, but the route isn’t where most players expect. If you want Remy-themed wheels in Fortnite, you need to chase them in Rocket League, like finding a secret recipe in a chef’s notebook.
I’ll walk you through the cleanest path: what to do, where to click, and how much time you actually have. No fluff — just the moves that get those vehicle cosmetics into your Fortnite locker.
At my desk the Rocket League client was already open — How to get free Ratatouille collab items in Fortnite
You won’t earn these in Battle Royale. Epic Games tied cross-ownership rewards to a limited-time Rocket League event run by Psyonix, and only two Ratatouille items transfer to Fortnite if your accounts are linked.
- Get 10 goals in online matches — Ratatouille Wheels
- Score at least 372 points in 5 online matches — Octane Little Chef Decal
Finish those two quests and the items appear in your Fortnite locker automatically, provided you use the same Epic Games account for both Rocket League and Fortnite. If your accounts aren’t linked, stop and fix that first in your Epic account settings — I’d rather you lose time earning goals than chasing account recovery later.
How to get the Fortnite Ratatouille collab items for free?
Play Rocket League, complete the two cross-ownership quests listed above, and make sure your Epic Games account is the same one you use for Fortnite. The rewards are automatic once the conditions are met — you don’t need to claim them inside Fortnite.
When is the last date to claim the Fortnite Ratatouille collab items for free?
According to the official Rocket League blog, the free cross-ownership items are available until June 1, 2026. Treat that date like a departure: if you haven’t finished the matches by then, the freebies disappear.
I noticed the Item Shop banner change often — How to get Ratatouille collab items in the Fortnite Item Shop
Epic Games also put Ratatouille vehicle cosmetics in the Item Shop. These are paid options if you prefer to buy instead of grinding Rocket League.
How to buy them:
- Open the Fortnite Item Shop from the main lobby bar.
- Use the sidebar to navigate to the Start Your Engines section, then the Ratatouille subsection.
- Select the cosmetic you want and press the Purchase button (hold to confirm).
Two Ratatouille items are available in the shop and their prices are fixed in V-Bucks:
| Item | Prices (in V-Bucks) |
|---|---|
| Remy’s Taste Trail | 300 |
| Remy’s Taste Boost | 400 |
When will the Fortnite Ratatouille collab items leave the Item Shop?
The in-game timer shows the Ratatouille shop items rotate out on May 25, 2026 at 8 PM ET when the Item Shop resets. If you want them without Rocket League, buy before that reset or risk missing the designs entirely.
One note on permanence: even after the Fortnite mode shutdowns in 2026, vehicle skins and cosmetics tied to your locker remain usable in Battle Royale — that’s the small comfort if timers creep up on you.
If you want the fastest route: link accounts, aim for quick 2–3 match sessions focused on scoring, and press for the two quests first. Time is the real pressure here — these freebies are like catching the last train — miss it and it’s gone. Will you grind Rocket League for a free Remy decal or buy straight from the Item Shop and skip the matches?
