Shaq in Fortnite: How to get Shaquille O'Neal skin explained
It's time for the Shaq Shimmy.
At this point, it feels like it’s easier to say who’s not in Fortnite than who is, but someone who wasn’t in the game until now is Shaq (Shaquille O’Neal), and if you’re a fan of the basketball legend, it’s essential to know how you can get him in the game.
This isn’t the first time an athlete has appeared in the game, with LeBron James, Harry Kane, Lewis Hamilton and more already available in Fortnite (when they come to the store).
We will outline how to get the Shaq skin, and because there are multiple versions, we’ll also explore the different skin variants the game offers.
When does Shaq release in Fortnite?
Shaq isn’t available in-game just yet, but players won’t have to wait long.
The skin is set to release on Saturday 5th October in the UK, which is the same day as the major mid-season event.

It's unknown how long the skin will be available, so if you want to pick up Shaq (not literally; that’s likely impossible), you will be best off doing it sooner rather than later.
How to get Shaq in Fortnite
The Shaq skin is being released in Fortnite via the store, so he will be available to purchase for V-Bucks.
At this point, it’s still unknown how much the skin will cost, but it will likely cost around 2,000 V-Bucks for the legendary basketball icon.

What’s included in the Shaq bundle?
The Shaq bundle has not been released yet, so we can’t say for sure, however, the incredibly reliable leaker Shiina has posted all the expected items.
As always with leaks, there is a chance they may not come to pass, but Shiina is usually pretty spot-on.
