Fortnite Teases Major F1 Crossover This Month — Leak Suggests Racing Event Is Imminent

Fortnite may be preparing another major crossover, as a new leak hints that an F1 collaboration could launch as early as this month. Since early November, the game has been dominated by its massive partnership with The Simpsons, but—true to Fortnite’s style—another big-name crossover might already be on the horizon.

For eight years, Fortnite has remained one of the biggest titles in the industry, and its steady stream of high-profile collaborations has played a major role in that success. The game’s first crossover with Marvel set the tone early on, and every partnership since has kept longtime players engaged while also attracting new ones. The ongoing Simpsons event has been a huge success, but racing fans might be getting something special soon.

F1 Could Arrive in Fortnite Later This Month

A recent exchange on Instagram has fueled the speculation. The official Fortnite account replied to a post from Formula 1, hinting that a joint event may be on the way. The tease quickly spread across social media, and well-known leaker HYPEX suggested that the collaboration might drop later this month. While leaks should never be taken as official confirmation, HYPEX is known for reliably revealing Fortnite updates ahead of time. Still, there’s no specific release date attached to the rumor just yet.

Formula 1 has long been one of the world’s most popular racing sports, and its influence in pop culture has grown even stronger in recent years. This past summer saw the release of a new F1-themed film starring Brad Pitt, and Netflix’s hit documentary series Formula 1: Drive to Survive returned with its seventh season in March. Fortnite’s biggest crossovers often blend directly into the battle royale map, but it’s unclear how large-scale the potential F1 event might be. Players may see anything from themed skins and limited-time modes to full-on F1 cars and racetracks integrated into the currently Simpsons-themed island.

For now, fans can only wait to see whether the F1 collaboration truly arrives before the month ends. Even for players unfamiliar with F1, such a crossover could boost the sport’s visibility and bring new audiences into the fold. And the F1 event might not be the only major addition coming soon—leaks also suggest that Fortnite could debut a Warner Bros. game mode in December. If that proves true, the game could be closing out the year with its biggest lineup of crossovers yet.
