Ahead of the World Cup season, soccer ace Vinicius Jr has joined Fortnite’s star-studded list of celebrity collaborations. As a result, a range of cosmetics themed around the Brazilian speedster has arrived in the game.
From new skins to new pickaxes, several in-game items that take inspiration from Vinicius Jr’s heroics on the soccer pitch are currently up for grabs for interested Fortnite enthusiasts. While the Vini Jr skin shows him in his Brazil national team kit, the “On Target” emote mimics the skillful winger’s real-life goal celebration. Moreover, Vini’s 7 Striker pickaxe flaunts a design that pays homage to his iconic jersey number.
Such an impressive variety of items emerging from this collab should satiate most Fortnite players who are also avid soccer fans. Moving on, here’s how you can get the Vini Jr skin and related cosmetics in Fortnite.

Vini Jr Fortnite skin availability
Much like the other promotions in Fortnite, the Vinicius Jr cosmetics are also time-bound and are only available in the Item Shop for a limited period. You can get your hands on these items by June 20, 2026, 5 PM PT or 7 PM ET, after which they will vanish from the in-game store.
However, in certain instances, Fortnite has also re-released limited-time skins from the past. So, there’s a chance Vini Jr-themed cosmetics could similarly make a return at some point in the future, but it’s not guaranteed to happen. Therefore, those who are really interested in them should act fast.
With the FIFA World Cup knocking on the door, Fortnite’s collab with Vinicius Jr has come at an exciting time. Given that the tournament, which kicks off on June 11, will last for over a month, it seems like a safe bet to expect more popular soccer players or World Cup-related updates to make their way into Epic’s multiplayer shooter.
