Snow Miku brings a winter variant of Hatsune Miku to Fortnite as part of Winterfest 2025, but she isn’t hiding in the lodge. This is a shop outfit, not a free present, and it lands right in the middle of Epic’s holiday event.
Snow Miku release date and time in Fortnite
Snow Miku arrives with the December 19 item shop refresh during Winterfest 2025. The rollout is tied to the usual regional shop reset:
| Region | Date | Where it shows up |
|---|---|---|
| Americas | December 19, 2025 | Battle Royale Item Shop |
| Europe | December 20, 2025 (local time) | Battle Royale Item Shop |
Winterfest 2025 itself runs from December 18 at 9 AM ET through January 5 at 9 AM ET, with Snow Miku positioned as one of the headline premium outfits alongside Santa ‘Brina and Harry Potter–themed Hogwarts house skins in the shop, not in the present cabin.
Snow Miku is not a Winterfest present
Despite early speculation, Snow Miku is not one of the free Winterfest rewards. The Winterfest lodge focuses on original Fortnite items this year. The two free outfits you can unlock by opening presents are:
- Glacial Dummy Outfit after opening seven other presents.
- Cheeks Outfit after opening thirteen presents.
You can still open one present per day, in any order, but none of those gifts contain Snow Miku or any other collab skin. If you want her, you have to buy her from the Item Shop while she’s available.
Snow Miku price and bundle options
Snow Miku is sold both as a standalone outfit and as part of a larger bundle.
| Product | Contents | Price (V-Bucks) |
|---|---|---|
| Snow Miku Outfit | Snow Miku skin only | 1,500 |
| Snow Miku Bundle | Snow Miku + related cosmetics | 2,400 |
The bundle is aimed at players who want the full set of themed cosmetics rather than just the outfit. Buying the bundle also gives a small discount compared with picking up each included item individually.
What’s in the Snow Miku bundle
Snow Miku is built as a winter remix of Fortnite’s existing Hatsune Miku design, closely echoing the classic Snow Miku 2011 look: icy color palette, scarf, mittens, and cold-weather details layered over her standard silhouette.
The bundle centers on that outfit and adds a small set of matching cosmetics. Across the available details, the collaboration includes:
- Snow Miku Outfit – a winter variant of the original Miku skin, with pale blue-and-white hair and snow-themed clothing.
- A themed Back Bling – a backpack-style cosmetic tied to the Snow Miku look.
- An emote – a new dance aligned with the collaboration.
- Jam tracks – Miku music for Fortnite Festival, including “Snowmix.”
Exact item names inside the bundle can vary slightly between regions, but the structure is consistent: one skin plus a small, focused set of accessories.
How to buy Snow Miku in the Fortnite Item Shop
Once the December 19 shop refresh goes live, Snow Miku sits in the Battle Royale Item Shop as part of her own section. There is no questline, tournament requirement, or external code involved.
Step 1: Launch Fortnite on your platform of choice and let it fully connect to Epic’s servers so the current shop rotation loads.
Step 2: From the main lobby, go to the Item Shop tab. Scroll down until you find the Snow Miku section, which groups the outfit and the Snow Miku bundle together.
Step 3: Choose whether you want the outfit on its own or the full bundle. Highlight your choice to preview how the cosmetics look in 3D before you commit.
Step 4: Confirm the purchase with V-Bucks. Once the transaction completes, the items are added to your locker and can be equipped in Battle Royale and compatible modes.
Snow Miku does not appear in the Winterfest cabin at any point, so looking for her there just wastes time. Treat her exactly like any other collab skin that cycles through the shop.
How long Snow Miku might stay in the shop
Epic does not publish exact removal dates for individual shop sections, but winter collaboration skins during Winterfest typically stay for several days rather than a single rotation. Given that Snow Miku is featured alongside other marquee crossovers, expect at least a short window to grab her rather than a one-night appearance.
Once she leaves, there is no set schedule for a return. The original Hatsune Miku outfit has already rotated in and out of the shop, and Snow Miku is likely to behave the same way: occasional returns tied to events or festival spotlights, with no guaranteed cadence.
Snow Miku and the rest of Winterfest 2025
Snow Miku sits inside a wider Winterfest slate that mixes free rewards with paid collaborations. While she is locked behind V-Bucks, the event still offers a decent stack of no-cost items if you log in throughout the holiday period.
- Fourteen presents in the cabin, opened one per day, with extra free cosmetics scattered between them.
- Two free outfits (Glacial Dummy and Cheeks) tied to how many presents you have opened.
- Winter-themed items like the Winterfest Bow Back Bling, Festive Gwinny Back Bling, Wrapped Axe Pickaxe, and Festive Bat Pickaxe hidden in the remaining gifts.
On the gameplay side, Blizzard Grenades and Snowball Launchers return to reinforce the event theme. Snow Miku’s release doesn’t change how any of this works; she simply adds another premium option to run alongside the free winter skins already available through the lodge.
If you only care about getting Miku into your locker, ignore rumors about secret codes or hidden challenges. Save 1,500 V-Bucks (or 2,400 if you want the full bundle), wait for the December 19 shop refresh, and pick her up straight from the Item Shop while Winterfest 2025 is live.
