'Squid Game' on Fortnite: Learn All About the New Skins and Items
As the third season of Squid Games airs on Netflix, learn all about the Squid Game skins, wraps, emotes and back bling that have been added to Fortnite.
What is Squid Game adding to Fortnite?
A new island, Squid Grounds, has been added to the Fortnite battle royale mode, Reload.
Squid Game skins items like back bling, wraps and emotes have also arrived on Fortnite.
Squid Game-themed skins in the shop include the red-clad guards and green-clad competitors.
"You'll recognize plenty of returning weaponry for the Squid Grounds update, though the Glider and Boogie Bomb are making their first-ever appearance in Reload," a representative for Fortnite promises in the caption for the YouTube trailer showing off the game additions.
And on Fortnite.com, the game goes into a bit more detail.
"Find familiar playground locations from the games, complete with staged town sets and a hollowed-out labyrinth cutting underneath the island's rolling hills," the site says. "You can even play Red Light, Green Light at your own risk."
How to win playing Fortnite Squid Game
After the new map, skins, emotes and other items, there's still more to come.
Squid Grounds Console Cash Cups, which are Battle Royale Duos tournaments, will be available on July 18, July 25 and Aug. 1,
The games are open to players on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.
Top performers earn cash prizes.
How much do Squid Game skins in Fortnite cost?
Squid Game game focuses on people so far in debt they must risk their lives. Some Fortnite players are joking about that similarity, because playing with the new skins can be pricey.
The Squid Game main bundle 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.

The Squid Accessories bundle
Guard and manager skins are both currently selling for 1,500 V-Bucks each, and the male and female player skins cost 1,200 V-Bucks each. Maybe you can find a deadly tournament to enter to win enough ... oh, wait.
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.
Remember the deadly version of "Red Light, Green Light" from Squid Game? That game, and a version of its unnerving robot doll, show up in Fortnite, too.

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.

Himalayan Mama and Kittens Make the Cutest Cuddle Puddle on Bench They've Outgrown
Himalayan Mama and Kittens Make the Cutest Cuddle Puddle on Bench They've Outgrown originally appeared on Parade Pets. As a cat mama of three beautiful fur babies, one of my favorite feline quirks is that they can sleep almost anywhere. On top of bookcases, on the backs of sofas, underneath furniture (where you have no idea how they fit there), and in any cardboard box you leave out. The phrase, "If I fits, I sits," was invented by cats. Well, one beautiful Himalayan mama and her equally adorable kittens decided to make the most adorable cuddle puddle on a cat bench they can all barely fit on, and they are just as cozy as can be. Just check out how this precious family couldn't care less that they are fixing to all fall down! Awww, how adorable are they? One person commented, "No such thing as outgrowing! If it fits, it sits!" Facts. Another person added, "That's a whole lotta floof right there!"Someone else added, "I think they need a bigger bed, but to be honest, I doubt it would matter. Cats are gonna curl up anywhere they want, regardless of how big they are or how uncomfortable they look! Cats will always curl up in the one spot you would never expect a cat to sleep in." That is so true! My gigantic Maine Coon cat, named Meatball, has no idea how large he is. He's just over 1 year old, so he's still technically a kitten (Maine Coon cats don't stop growing until they are about 5 years old. Normal cats stop growing at about a year), and he sleeps in the weirdest spots. The issue is Meatball is so large that he sleeps on the edge of things, like tables, and will fall off them when he's still asleep! That's just typical feline behavior, though! Like I said above, if they fits, they sits, er... sleeps! 🐶SIGN UP to get 'pawsitivity' delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends🐾🐾 Himalayan Mama and Kittens Make the Cutest Cuddle Puddle on Bench They've Outgrown first appeared on Parade Pets on Jul 3, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Jul 3, 2025, where it first appeared.
