Kim Kardashian is joining Fortnite’s Icon Series with a set of highly customizable outfits and accessories. Most players will be able to buy her skins in the Item Shop, but there is a limited-time path to unlock one of them for free and a day early through a competitive event.
What you can unlock for free
The Kim Kardashian Icon Cup rewards cosmetics from her Icon Series set:
- Iconic Kim Kardashian outfit – an Icon Series skin with multiple outfit colors, neckline options, and hairstyles.
- Ring Light To Go back bling – a cosmetic back bling themed around a portable ring light.
- Heart Breakers spray – an in-game spray granted for reaching a small point threshold.
The free unlock only covers the Iconic Kim Kardashian outfit and the Ring Light To Go back bling for top performers in each region, plus the spray for anyone who reaches eight points. Other items in Kim’s broader set, like her second outfit, private jet glider, extra back bling variants, and emotes, are tied to the Item Shop release.
When the Kim Kardashian Icon Cup happens
The Kim Kardashian Icon Cup is a one-day event:
- Date: December 12, 2025
- Mode: Battle Royale, solos only
- Duration: A three-hour window per region
- Match limit: Up to 10 matches during your region’s window
Exact start and end times vary by region. The tournament window appears directly in the in-game Compete tab once the event is live.
How to find and join the Kim Kardashian Icon Cup
Step 1: Launch Fortnite on any supported platform and go to the main lobby screen after logging in.
Step 2: Select the Compete tab at the top of the screen. This tab lists all currently active and upcoming tournaments for your region.
Step 3: Look for the event named Kim Kardashian Icon Cup. The tournament tile shows the local start and end times for your region.
Step 4: Once the window opens, select the cup tile and choose Play to queue into matches. Every match you play in this playlist during the window counts toward your points, up to the 10‑match limit.
Eligibility requirements for the Kim Kardashian Icon Cup
Entry is free, but your account has to meet Fortnite’s standard tournament requirements:
- Age: At least 13 years old, with parental permission where required.
- Account level: Account level 50 or higher.
- Two-factor authentication (2FA): Enabled on your Epic Games account.
- One account: Only a single account per player can be used to participate.
To turn on 2FA or check your account level, sign into your Epic account at epicgames.com and review your security settings and Fortnite profile.
How scoring works in the Kim Kardashian Icon Cup
The Kim Kardashian Icon Cup uses a points-based leaderboard. You earn points in each match and your total across up to 10 matches determines your ranking.
The official rules specify that the scoring system is listed in-game. Based on the tournament details shared in Fortnite, the format rewards both survival placement and eliminations, with the following key thresholds highlighted for cosmetics:
- 8 points total – unlocks the Heart Breakers spray.
- Regional placement thresholds – determine who receives the Iconic Kim Kardashian outfit and Ring Light To Go back bling.
To see the exact point values for placement and eliminations, open the Kim Kardashian Icon Cup panel in the Compete tab and view the scoring breakdown on the info screen before you start playing.
Placement required to get the Kim Kardashian skin for free
The Iconic Kim Kardashian outfit and Ring Light To Go back bling go to players who finish within specific rank ranges in their matchmaking region. These are the official prize cutoffs:
| Region | Ranks that earn the skin + back bling |
|---|---|
| OCE | 1st – 250th |
| ASIA | 1st – 250th |
| ME | 1st – 250th |
| EU | 1st – 2,350th |
| BR | 1st – 400th |
| NAC | 1st – 900th |
| NAW | 1st – 400th |
Finishing within your region’s qualifying range grants both the Iconic Kim Kardashian outfit and Ring Light To Go back bling on your account once prizes are distributed. Every player who reaches at least eight points in the cup receives the Heart Breakers spray, regardless of final placement.
Kim Kardashian Item Shop release and paid options
Kim Kardashian’s cosmetics are not locked behind the tournament. The Icon Series content has a standard Item Shop rollout:
- Item Shop launch: December 13, 2025 at 4PM PT / 7PM ET / 12AM GMT (December 14).
- Outfits available: Kim Kardashian outfit and Iconic Kim Kardashian outfit.
- Extras: At least one glider themed as a private jet, a cosmetics-filled back bling, a ring light-themed back bling, and a pair of emotes.
If you do not place high enough in the Icon Cup, you can still buy the Kim Kardashian outfits and associated accessories once they appear in the Item Shop. The free path through the Icon Cup simply unlocks the Iconic Kim Kardashian outfit and Ring Light To Go back bling early for a limited number of players.
Key rules that affect your chances
The Kim Kardashian Icon Cup follows Fortnite’s general tournament framework, with a few important implications for how you play:
- Solo-only format: You cannot queue with friends or teammates. Every match is you against the entire lobby.
- Platform parity: No adjustments are made between platforms. Choose the platform and input where you perform best.
- Maximum of 10 matches: You have limited attempts during the three-hour window, so poor early games matter.
- Leaderboard-driven rewards: Final prizes are linked to your total points and rank at the end of the session, not single-match performance.
Placement cutoffs mean you are competing directly against every other participant in your region’s bracket. The larger European allocation, for example, gives more players a shot but also tends to have higher overall competition.
Where to read the official Kim Kardashian Cup rules
Epic publishes a full legal rule set for the Kim Kardashian Cup, covering structure, eligibility, scoring, prizes, and conduct expectations. The document is available on the official Fortnite site at fortnite.com/news/kim-kardashian-cup-official-rules.
That rule set defines:
- The event name (Kim Kardashian Cup / Kim Kardashian Icon Cup).
- The schedule reference (December 12 for the cup in Attachment B).
- The exact prize breakdown for each region in Attachment C.
- Eligibility checks and prize claim timelines for winners.
For competitive players trying to secure the free skin, it is worth reviewing the official rules before queueing so there are no surprises around eligibility or prize delivery.
For most players, Kim Kardashian’s arrival will be a straightforward Item Shop purchase on December 13. For a relatively small group in each region, the Icon Cup offers a more demanding route: survive, place well, hit your eliminations, and walk away with the Iconic Kim Kardashian outfit and Ring Light To Go back bling without spending V-Bucks.
