Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon are now live in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4: Override, arriving together as the pairing Epic Games has been calling the N. Sane Duo. Crash is a full playable Outfit with a low-poly throwback style, while Spyro tags along as a Sidekick rather than a skin. Both dropped in the Item Shop as part of a single six-item bundle, with the option to buy the two headline cosmetics separately.
Quick answer: The Crash Bandicoot & Spyro the Dragon bundle costs 3,000 V-Bucks and contains six items. Buying the pieces individually, the Crash Bandicoot Outfit is 1,500 V-Bucks and the Spyro the Dragon Sidekick is also 1,500 V-Bucks.
Release date and time for Crash Bandicoot in Fortnite
The set went live with the Item Shop reset on Friday, August 28, 2026, at 5PM PT / 8PM ET. Because the reset lands in the evening for North America, most of Europe and Asia saw the items appear on Saturday, August 29 local time.
| Region | Local date and time |
|---|---|
| Pacific (PT) | August 28, 5:00PM |
| Central (CT) | August 28, 7:00PM |
| Eastern (ET) | August 28, 8:00PM |
| UK (BST) | August 29, 1:00AM |
| Central Europe (CEST) | August 29, 2:00AM |
| Japan / Korea (JST / KST) | August 29, 9:00AM |
| Australia east coast (AEST) | August 29, 10:00AM |
Gaming Legends Series cosmetics rotate out of the shop after a limited run, so the set will not stay listed indefinitely. You can check the current listing in game or on the Fortnite Item Shop page.
Everything in the Crash Bandicoot and Spyro bundle
Six items make up the full bundle at 3,000 V-Bucks. The Crash Outfit and the Spyro Sidekick are the two pieces sold on their own at 1,500 V-Bucks each, which means the bundle covers the four remaining cosmetics for no extra cost compared to buying just those two headline items.
| Item | Type and details |
|---|---|
| Crash Bandicoot | Outfit, includes the modern look and the low-poly Crash Classic style |
| Aku Aku | Back Bling that reacts to in-match actions |
| Apple pickaxe | Harvesting tool topped with a Wumpa Fruit |
| Bandicoot wrap | Weapon wrap |
| Victory Dance | Emote based on Crash’s boss-clear celebration |
| Spyro the Dragon | Sidekick companion with alternate color styles |
Note: Gaming Legends items sit outside the Battle Pass. Owning the Override pass and unlocking Sonic does nothing to discount Crash or Spyro.
The Crash Classic low-poly style
The Outfit ships with two selectable looks. The default is the smoother modern Crash familiar from the remastered games. The alternate, labeled Crash Classic, rebuilds him with chunky geometry and lower-resolution textures to match his 1996 PlayStation model.
It is an edit style, not a separate purchase, so you swap between the two from the Locker at any time. That kind of deliberately downgraded model is rare across Fortnite’s video game crossovers, since cosmetic work almost always pushes toward more detail rather than less.
What the Aku Aku Back Bling does
Aku Aku is a reactive Back Bling. The mask animates in response to specific in-match events rather than sitting static on Crash’s back. It responds when you glide, when you take damage, when you pick up eliminations, and when you open chests.
The reactions are purely visual. Nothing about the Back Bling changes damage, shields, or movement, and it works the same way with any Outfit you attach it to.
Why Spyro is a Sidekick instead of a skin
Spyro walks on four legs, which does not map onto Fortnite’s humanoid character rig and its weapon-holding animations. Rather than stretch him into a human silhouette, Epic slotted him into the Sidekick category introduced in Chapter 7, where he follows your character around a match at his normal small scale.
Sidekicks are cosmetic only. Unlike Sprites, which grant abilities such as speed boosts and hover effects, Spyro will not scout enemies, mark loot, or fight for you, even though the reveal shows him breathing fire. His design follows the Spyro Reignited Trilogy look, with his signature yellow crystal accents by default and a blue-accented alternate style among his edit options.
How to equip Crash and Spyro and check them in a match
Weapons on the pre-game island are temporary and vanish at launch, so picking one up is only useful for previewing how the Bandicoot wrap looks on a gun before you commit to a loadout.
Getting the Crash Bandicoot skin for free through the Override Cup
There is a competitive route that does not cost V-Bucks. The Override Cup runs as a Duos competition across Battle Royale and Reload, scored on eliminations and final placement inside a two-hour window. Placing inside the required top percentage in your region earns the Crash Bandicoot cosmetics outright.
A separate mobile-only version of the cup runs an hour earlier for players on phones and tablets. If you miss the cutoff, the Item Shop purchase remains available for as long as the set is listed.
Where Crash fits in Chapter 7 Season 4: Override
Override launched on August 20, 2026, built around video game crossovers. Sonic the Hedgehog headlines the Battle Pass with Tails as a Sidekick, and the season’s Item Shop lineup runs through Mega Man, Joker from Persona 5, Sora from Kingdom Hearts, and Pac-Man alongside Crash and Spyro. A Crash Bandicoot Temple has been sitting on the map at the former Sinister Strip location since the season started, ahead of the cosmetics themselves.
The crossover extends into the loot pool as well. Dr. Eggman appears on the island as a boss NPC, and defeating him drops the Mythic Midas Masterpiece. Named locations across the current map include Chopped Shop, Cluster Coast, Atway Harbor, Golden Grove, and Stone Sanctum.
Season-specific weapons such as the 8-Bit Shotgun and the Oni Shotgun show up in ground loot and chests. Swapping between them mid-fight uses the standard pickup prompt, which replaces whatever you currently have selected.
For anyone weighing the purchase, the math is straightforward. The two pieces most people want cost 3,000 V-Bucks on their own, and the bundle price matches that exactly while adding the pickaxe, wrap, emote, and Back Bling. The only reason to buy individually is if you want Crash without Spyro, or Spyro without Crash.
