Fortnite’s New Stranger Things Skins Drop—but Max Fans Are Furious About One Major Omission

Fortnite has rolled out a third wave of Stranger Things skins, and while many players are thrilled to see more iconic characters join the game, fans of Max Mayfield are feeling let down. Epic Games continues to collaborate with the hit Netflix series ahead of its highly anticipated final season, yet several major characters still have not made their debut in the battle royale.

Stranger Things first hit Netflix in 2016 and quickly became a cultural phenomenon. After a long three-year wait, the show’s final season is set to premiere on November 26, marking the beginning of its long-awaited conclusion. Over the years, viewers have grown attached to numerous characters, and although Max wasn’t part of the original cast, she became a standout favorite after her introduction in season two. Despite this popularity, Fortnite has yet to bring her into the game.

Fortnite’s Latest Stranger Things Crossover Still Excludes Max

On November 21, Fortnite added Mike, Dustin, Will, Lucas, and Vecna. However, players immediately noticed Max’s absence. Discussions quickly sparked across Reddit and social media, where fans expressed hope that she might appear in a potential fourth wave of skins. There is currently no confirmation about future releases, but many players have made it clear that Max—and several others—are high on their wish lists.

Other major characters such as Nancy Wheeler, Steve Harrington, and Robin Buckley are also still missing. While cosmetics are not required to enjoy the game, Fortnite’s expansive skin roster keeps players engaged, and the exclusion of such popular figures feels like a missed opportunity. The addition of the main four boys and Vecna has been exciting, but many fans are still waiting for the lineup to feel complete.

• Eleven
• Hopper
• Demogorgon

• Mike
• Dustin

• Will

Only time will reveal whether Fortnite plans to release another wave of skins. With the final season of Stranger Things only days away, Max may remain absent for now. The series still offers plenty of potential new additions—Eddie Munson, Jonathan Byers, and Billy Hargrove have yet to appear in Fortnite either. As Fortnite’s Chapter 7 and the show’s last season approach, players can only wait to see whether Max and other beloved characters eventually join the battle royale.
