    Both Spyro and Crash Bandicoot items in Fortnite are up for grabs only until September 11, 2026, 5 PM PT or 8 PM ET. Similarly, both Spyro the Dragon sidekick and the Crash Bandicoot skin are priced at 1,500 V-Bucks. You can alternatively bag both, alongside a bunch of other cosmetics, by purchasing the Crash Bandicoot & Spyro the Dragon Bundle for 3,000 V-Bucks.

The other variants tweak Spyro’s appearance by mainly turning his scales into green, orange, pink, and blue, depending on the selected style.

    Rounding up

    With Spyro joining the list, Fortnite now boasts multiple different popular characters joining its list of sidekicks. Previous updates and Item Shop rotations have seen major names such as SpongeBob SquarePants, Tails from the Sonic the Hedgehog series, and Towelie from the South Park franchise get added into the mix.

    As more Fortnite collabs roll out, it is inevitable that even more recognizable characters eventually get added as sidekicks in the game. Given the video game IP-focused theme of Fortnite Override, players can confidently expect the ongoing season to deliver more sidekicks from this entertainment medium in the coming weeks.
