Fortnite Charli XCX 360 Emote: Origin explained and how to unlock it

British singer and songwriter Charli XCX is the newest musician to collaborate with Fortnite. The three-time Grammy Award winner's song 360 is now available in Fortnite as an Emote. With more than 338 million plays on Spotify, it is one of the most popular songs with an associated dance.

This article explains the origin of this Fortnite Emote and how you can get it while it's available.

The Charli XCX-inspired 360 Emote arrived in the Fortnite Item Shop on Monday, March 3. Although the choreography depicted in the Emote is a mystery, the song is from Charli XCX's song "360." This track was on her Grammy Award-winning album "Brat."

The song separately received Grammy nominations for Record of the Year and Best Music Video, but ultimately lost to Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us." Still, 360 is unquestionably one of the most significant tracks of 2024, which explains the inspiration for the Fortnite Emote.

This instance is not the first time Charli XCX has collaborated with Fortnite. Her song "Apple" is available for 500 V-Bucks as a Fortnite Festival Jam Track, the Guitar Hero-inspired game mode.

The 360 Fortnite Emote is now available in the Fortnite Item Shop. You can add it to your account via the web shop or the in-game "Shop" tab. It will cost you 500 V-Bucks, which is the usual cost of Icon Series Emotes. The value is undeniable, considering you will have the dance forever.

However, the 360 Emote will rotate out of the Fortnite Item Shop on Thursday, March 6. That means you only have a few days to buy it before it vanishes for an undisclosed amount of time. Therefore, don't wait if you want it!
