Squid Game game focuses on people so far in debt they must risk their lives. Some Fortnite players are joking about that similarity, because according to unconfirmed leaks first reported on by SpushFNBR and NotPaloleaks, and cited by Vice, playing could be pricey.

• Reportedly, the Squid Game skin main bundle will cost 3,000 V-Bucks, which is the game’s currency. Fortnite.com says that the bundle includes the Games Guard outfit, the Ddakji Defender outfit, the Green Light Guardian, Marble Maven, Dalgona Destroyer, Tug of War Titan, Pentathlon Perfector, Jegi Juggler, Flying Stone Fighter, Gong-gi Great, Games Manager outfit and Glass Bridge Survivor outfit. It looks as if the crossover won’t include one of the more iconic Squid Game characters, the eerie black-clad Front Man, a former police officer who won the tournament and now runs it.
• According to popular Fortnite leaker HYPEX, prices even for single skins won’t be cheap, with the guard and manager skins selling for 1,500 V-Bucks each and the male and female player skins for 1,200 V-Bucks each. Maybe you can find a deadly tournament to enter to win enough … oh, wait.

But some Fortnite fans seem excited about the new additions regardless.

“The fact that we’re getting elimination-based gaming inside elimination-based gaming is peak 2025 meta,” said one X user.

Another user said they’d prefer to see Squid Game take a role in the standard battle royale Fortnite game.

“This seems like a good idea, but why is Squid Game in Reload and not the Battle Royale game mode?” they asked on X. “I don’t know a lot of people who play Reload, me including [sic]. The last time I played Reload was when the game mode first came out.”

Another person suggested this might be because the Battle Royale season theme, superheroes, doesn’t fit with Squid Game.
