Free Fortnite skins: How to get free outfits in Fortnite
What you need to know about free Fortnite skins in January 2023.
Fortnite skins - or to use their official name, outfits - are a type of item that players of the game can equip and use for Fortnite: Battle Royale, Fortnite: Creative, and Fortnite: Save the World.
Skins enable the player to change the appearance of their player character, with no competitive advantage - yup, they're purely cosmetic.
Fortnite fans absolutely love them, with many skins offering crossovers - Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, Batman and Street Fighter skins can often be purchased by players (depending on what's in the Fortnite item shop that day).
And there's the key word - purchased. Fortnite skins can end up being seriously costly, so any options that are free are always very welcome.
Read on to find out about any free skins that are currently available to claim in Fortnite.
Are there any free Fortnite skins?
Fortunately, Fortnite's developer Epic Games occasionally gives out free Fortnite skins if you complete its requirements.
Currently, in January 2023, there is only one skin that you can claim for free - that would be the Jun-Hwan skin, which is pictured above right.
Pictured above left is Xander, a skin that was available for free until 10th January through the Refer a Friend scheme. That has ended for now, but we'll be sure to let you know if it returns.
Promotions are always coming and going in Fortnite, so don't be too disheartened. The next time that more free skins/outfits arrive in the game, we'll make a point to update this page.
