Horizon prestige skin release date

According to Electronic Arts Inc. (EA) and Respawn Entertainment, Horizon's Apex Stellaris prestige skin is part of the Winter Wipeout event, which launches on Jan. 6 and runs through Jan. 27. Then, after the event concludes, its items will remain available via the in-game shop until Feb. 10.

During the event, players can drop into Wildcard on Olympus and begin matches with a hoverboard. A Hoverboard can be used to double jump, wall ride, perform tricks, ram enemies, slide for sharp turns, and even deal some heavy damage.

How to unlock the Horizon Apex Stellaris prestige skin

All of the Winter Wipeout event items, including Horizon's Apex Stellaris prestige skin, are available through Crafting Metals, Apex Coins, or Winter Wipeout event packs. Each event pack includes one event item and two standard items. Players don't have to worry about Winter Wipeout duplicates, either.

"Each Winter Wipeout [event pack] contains one event item and two standard items, and there are no duplicates of event items in these packs," the official announcement stated. The announcement also described Horizon's prestige skin as her venturing into space while wielding the power of a quasar.
