The Street Fighter skins will make their return to Fortnite on June 20! Here’s how much everything will cost and what players are saying!
It’s been a long time coming, but the Fortnite x Street Fighter collaboration is finally returning. Precisely 1,053 days have passed since the Ryu, Chun-Li, Cammy, Guile, Blanka, and Sakura skins were all available in the Item Shop. Fans have waited patiently, and that patience will pay off at 8 p.m. ET on Friday, June 20.
This article covers the storylines leading up to Street Fighter’s triumphant return, including reactions by players and the price you can expect to pay for everything.
How much will the Street Fighter skins cost when they return to Fortnite?
This is one of the more complicated crossovers from an Item Shop standpoint. We have six characters involved, but several different bundles and ways to purchase the various cosmetics. For example, you can buy the FortniteStreet Fighterskins for 1,600 V-Bucks. Those come with a Back Bling and an Emote.
you may also purchase pairs of fighters, such as Ryu and Chun-Li, for 2,200 V-Bucks. Those Bundles come with both Back Blings, Emotes, and a Loading Screen. Each pair also offers a “Gear Bundle,” allowing you to purchase Pickaxes and a Glider for 1,800 V-Bucks.
The Gliders and Pickaxes are also available independently of the characters. We’ve done our best to outline how it works below, accompanied by some photos as visual aids.

Players are ready for this collaboration to return
Apart fromKratosandTravis Scott, the Street Fighter skins are the most-requested collaboration in recent Fortnite history. This August would have marked the third anniversary since they last appeared. However, the wait is almost over.
Reddit user Alphasilverhawk summed up the sentiments of many who weren’t able to purchase the Street Fighter items, writing, “Capcom collabs are officially back on the table!! ABOUT DAMN TIME!!” It’s safe to say thousands of players will flock to the Item Shop and spend their V-Bucks.
Could this revive the ultimate Chun-Li meme that has since cooled off? We’ll have to wait and see, but regardless, this is a significant moment for Fortnite players. Others are holding out hope that this could lead to the return of theResident Evil collaboration. Only time will tell on that one.
