You land on the Item Shop at 8 PM ET and the banner stares back: Samurai Jack, finally in Fortnite. My hands went cold for a second — part nostalgia, part the math of V-Bucks. If you grew up with Jack’s duel against Aku, this is one of those tiny, loud moments.
I’ve chased these crossovers for years and I’ll tell you exactly how to add Jack to your locker without wasting V-Bucks or time. You get the step-by-step, the timing, and the price context so you can decide whether to buy the bundle or cherry-pick pieces.
You probably opened Fortnite and saw Samurai Jack at the top of the Item Shop — here’s how to buy him
Epic Games added the Samurai Jack assets in the Chapter 7 Season 3 files with update 41.10. The skin officially drops in the Item Shop on July 10, 2026, at 8 PM ET. If you want Jack in your locker, follow these quick steps:
- Open Fortnite on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, or mobile via the Epic Games Store.
- Tap or click Item Shop — the Samurai Jack Bundle will usually appear at the top as a featured item.
- Select the Bundle or any individual cosmetic you want.
- Click the Purchase button and confirm. Hold or press until the circular meter completes.
- Return to your Locker — the cosmetics will be added immediately.
Buying the full bundle saves V-Bucks if you want everything, but you can also pick the outfit, the pickaxe, or the wrap separately. The skin is playable in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 the moment you buy it.
When was Samurai Jack Fortnite skin released?
The Samurai Jack skin went live on July 10, 2026, at 8 PM ET. Epic pushed it after update 41.10, which is why you may have seen the files earlier if you track datamining accounts on X (formerly Twitter) or Discord.
How much does the Samurai Jack skin cost in Fortnite?
The outfit itself is listed at 1,500 V-Bucks. For quick budgeting: 1,500 V-Bucks is roughly $12 (€11) depending on your regional store and any ongoing sales on V-Bucks bundles.
I squinted at the Item Shop prices and did the math — here are the cosmetics and what they cost
Epic packaged Jack as a bundle, plus individual cosmetics. The table below is the shop breakdown, which helps if you only want one or two items instead of the full set.
| Cosmetics | Prices (in V-Bucks) |
| Samurai Jack Bundle (includes all cosmetics) | 2,000 |
| Samurai Jack (Outfit) | 1,500 |
| Dark Future Helm (Back Bling) | 400 |
| Sword of the Gods (Pickaxe) | 800 |
| Samurai Flourish (Emote) | 400 |
| Flames of Aku (Wrap) | 500 |
Price context so you can choose: the full 2,000 V-Bucks bundle is roughly $16 (€15). Buying the outfit alone (~1,500 V-Bucks) will run about $12 (€11). Those USD figures depend on how you purchase V-Bucks — Epic sometimes bundles bonus V-Bucks that change per-unit cost.
When will the Samurai Jack skin leave the Fortnite Item Shop?
The stash rotates weekly. Samurai Jack left the shop on July 17, 2026, at 8 PM ET, so if you missed that window your options are waiting for a future re-release or special event. If you track Epic Games’ social channels or Fortnite’s official schedule, you’ll spot reruns and promo events first.
A small reality check before you buy
I remember saving V-Bucks back in the day and thinking twice — nostalgia is powerful. The skin landing felt like a lightning strike on a quiet roof; suddenly every match was a callback to Saturday mornings.
If you want the whole set, the bundle is the best V-Bucks per-item deal. If you only want the outfit, buy it solo and use the rest of your V-Bucks for battle passes or other limited drops.
Depending on platform and region, watch for sales on V-Bucks in the Epic Games Store, PlayStation Store, and Microsoft Store — they affect the real-world cost of that cosmetic, so a small saving today can add up.
Samurai Jack in Fortnite is one of those crossovers that feels like a small key that opens a museum of Saturday-morning memories — will you buy the nostalgia or wait for the next reappearance?
