Vinícius Júnior, the Real Madrid and Brazil forward known as Vini Jr, has joined Fortnite as part of the Icon Series. The collaboration adds two outfits plus a set of matching cosmetics, and it arrived in the Item Shop just before Brazil’s opening match at the 2026 World Cup.
Quick answer: Vini Jr entered the Fortnite Item Shop when it reset at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, June 10, 2026. The bundle is live now, so open the Item Shop to find it.
Vini Jr Fortnite release time and where to find it
The full set went live at the standard Item Shop reset, which happens at 8 p.m. ET each day. The launch lined up with the start of the World Cup, dropping ahead of Brazil’s first game against Morocco.
To buy any of the items, open Fortnite, head to the Item Shop tab from the main menu, and search for the Vini Jr listings. You will know the purchase worked when the cosmetic appears in your Locker and can be equipped to your character.
All Vini Jr skins and cosmetics
The collaboration includes eight confirmed cosmetics. That covers two outfits, two Back Blings, two Pickaxes, an Emote, and a Spray. The first outfit style recreates Vini Jr’s on-field look, wearing the Brazilian kit complete with Nike branding. The second is a fashion-style appearance that lets you toggle sunglasses on or off.
The Pickaxes split into two styles as well. One is a dual-wielded, football-themed option, and the other is a simpler design built around Vini Jr’s jersey number.

Vini Jr Fortnite price
Epic Games has not published official pricing for the set. Based on recent Icon Series releases, the outfits are expected to cost around 1,500 V-Bucks each. That figure matched the asking price for the recent Typical Gamer and Laufey collaborations, so treat it as a guide rather than a confirmed number.
How to earn the Vini Jr cosmetics for free
A competitive route let players unlock the collection without spending V-Bucks. The Vini Jr Icon Cup ran on Wednesday, June 10, the same day the skin launched. Placing high enough in the tournament earned items at no cost.
The Cup used a Trios format with two queue options, Battle Royale and Zero Build. Matches ran on a three-hour time limit with an 11-match cap. The lowest reward tier was reachable for anyone who scored at least eight points, which granted the VJR Icon Spray.
Placement requirements changed depending on the cosmetic. The breakdown below reflects the NA Central region. Thresholds varied by region, so the in-game tournament screen was the place to confirm exact targets.
| Reward | NA Central placement |
|---|---|
| Vini Jr. Outfit | 1st – 45th |
| Vini’s Game Day Gear Back Bling | 1st – 45th |
| Vini’s 7 Striker Pickaxe | 1st – 45th |
| Vini’s Football Maces Pickaxe | 1st – 45th |
| On Target Emote | 1st – 45th |
| Vini Fashion Flow Outfit | 1st – 180th |
| VJR Glow Back Bling | 1st – 180th |
| VJR Icon Spray | 8 points |
Note: Because both queue options awarded the same items, you only needed to commit to one mode and reach the listed placement for the items you wanted.
For players who missed the tournament window, the Item Shop remains the reliable way to pick up the Vini Jr collection. The set’s timing ties directly to the 2026 World Cup, giving football fans a way to represent Brazil’s number 7 in-game while the tournament plays out.
