Earlier this week, it was revealed that Epic Games would be adding an Alan Wake skin to Fortnite, to help celebrate the launch of the upcoming horror sequel Alan Wake 2. While you might be tempted to pick up the skin immediately, it’s been announced that there’s a way to obtain the Alan Wake skin in Fortnite for free. Well, freeish at least. Here’s everything you need to know about how to obtain the Alan Wake skin in Fortnite for free.

If you want to get the Alan Wake skin for free in Fortnite, you need to purchase Alan Wake 2 from the Epic Games Store. Like we said, it’s freeish, but at least you won’t have to spend any V-Bucks. On top of receiving the Alan Wake skin in Fortnite, buying Alan Wake 2 on PC via the Epic Games Store will also give you to the Alan’s Messenger Bag Backbling, allowing you to complete the full outfit while you’re searching for that Victory Royale.

Of course, those who have purchased the Alan Wake skin already might be wondering if they get something in return for purchasing Alan Wake 2 via the Epic Games Store, and they do. Purchasing the game even if you already own the skin will net you 1,200 V-Bucks, which you can use to purchase one of the several crossover skins that are available in the Fortnite item stop.

If the idea of a free Alan Wake skin in Fortnite sounds good to you, you’ll need to purchase Alan Wake 2 through the Epic Games Store before October 27th, 2024, meaning you’ve got a full calander year to buy Alan Wake 2 before the offer goes away. Considering how many games have launched in the last 12 months though, you might need up to October 2024 to get round to playing Alan Wake 2.
