Learn everything you need to know about Fortnite x Coachella 2023!

The Fortnite x Coachella collaboration is back for the second consecutive year. Last time, Epic Games unleashed new in-game Coachella-themed cosmetics and Icon Radio music. 2023 brings all this and much more, including new cosmetic styles, a Coachella island, Quests, and free rewards. 

Here's everything you need to know about the latest Fortnite x Coachella crossover!

Fortnite x Coachella Island details

Coachella Island (code 5449-4207-1280) goes live on April 13 at 3 p.m. EST. This creative map rolls everything you could imagine about Coachella into one immersive experience.

Created by the Art Park team, the Fortnite blog post describes Coachella Island as an "artistic adventure" with mini-games. The creative map features songs from Coachella 2023 performer Porter Robinson. 

Fortnite also included a photosensitivity warning to players, so keep that in mind before joining.

What collaboration would be complete without Quests and free rewards? Beginning April 13 at 3 p.m. EST, you can complete challenges to earn XP and Coachella-themed cosmetics. On April 21 at 12 p.m. EST, a second round of Fortnite x Coachella Quests will go live. 

You have until April 28 at 12 p.m. EST to complete these challenges. Below you will find a list of the cosmetic rewards available to unlock:
