Fortnite’s Icon Series skins have emerged as a cultural sensation, seamlessly connecting the realms of gaming and real-world stardom by bringing celebrities, athletes, and streamers into the vibrant world of battle royale. Since its debut in 2019 alongside DJ Marshmello, the series has evolved to feature an impressive lineup of personalities, ranging from global icons such as Ariana Grande to esports titans like Ninja. For streamers, these skins transcend mere cosmetics as they stand as a testament to their influence within the Fortnite community, rewarding their dedication with a lasting digital legacy.
Prominent figures such as Tyler “Ninja” Blevins and Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf have stepped into Fortnite, showcasing their in-game skins that captivate fans with bespoke designs mirroring their distinct identities. These partnerships frequently introduce exclusive bundles packed with emotes, pickaxes, and back bling, turning them into must-have items for players.
Cody “Clix” Conrod, a 20-year-old Fortnite prodigy, has officially entered the ranks of elite streamers, quickly making a name for himself as a Twitch sensation. With his rapid-fire edits and undeniable competitive edge, Clix has made waves in the gaming community, especially after qualifying for the World Cup in 2019 at 14. His impressive skills have garnered him a huge fanbase, solidifying his place as a true Fortnite legend. Finally, his highly anticipated Icon Series skin has made its debut in Fortnite, signaling a significant achievement in his career. Clix’s bundle breaks away from the norm, featuring a range of unique variants and eccentric cosmetics that have fans buzzing with excitement.
Clix’s Fortnite Icon Series skin hit the Item Shop on March 22, 2025. Players have two methods to unlock the Clix skin in Fortnite. You can snag it straight from the Item Shop, where it’s offered either as part of a discounted bundle or as standalone items. The complete Clix bundle is priced at 2,800 V-Bucks, providing players with substantial savings when stacked against the cost of purchasing each item individually, which would exceed 5,000 V-Bucks. The second method involves players playing Clix’s UEFN maps and finding a code to redeem for the free bundle.
To get the Clix Icon Series bundle for free in Fortnite, you need to play Clix’s Red vs Blue and Clix Tycoon maps and find the code in the games. There are 25 codes in these maps and so far three have already been redeemed. Here’s a full list of the maps you need to play with their map codes and how to find them:

Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
Imagine tapping a Zelda icon on your iPhone and jumping straight into Hyrule. A new open-source project called nxnative makes that possible by repackaging Switch games you’ve bought into apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with no emulator in the middle.
Why does this run so well on Apple devices?
