Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 is dropping August 20, 2026, and the new Override Pass is already generating serious buzz. With 8 confirmed skins spanning gaming legends, original characters, and at least one iconic collab with Sonic the Hedgehog, this might be the most stacked battle pass in recent memory. Here's everything you need to know before the season goes live.
What is the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Override Pass?
The Override Pass is the official battle pass for Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4. It contains 8 character skins plus additional cosmetic items, including a Tails sidekick that comes bundled with the Sonic the Hedgehog skin. Beyond skins, expect the usual assortment of back blings, pickaxes, gliders, and other cosmetics as you progress through the pass.
The pass runs alongside the current Music Pass, which features Lil Tecca as the Festival Season 15 Icon, so you can hold both simultaneously.

How much does the Override Pass cost?
The Override Pass costs 800 V-Bucks, which works out to roughly $8.99. That's the standard battle pass price Fortnite has maintained for several seasons.
If you're already subscribed to Fortnite Crew at $11.99 per month, the Override Pass is included in your subscription at no extra V-Bucks cost. Crew also bundles a free skin, monthly V-Bucks, and access to additional passes. One thing to keep in mind: if you cancel Crew mid-season, you lose the ability to unlock further Override Pass rewards once your billing period ends, though you keep any cosmetics already unlocked.
How do you get the Override Pass?
Once Chapter 7 Season 4 goes live at 6 AM ET on August 20, 2026, navigate to the Passes section from your home tab in-game. Select the Override Pass, then either spend your V-Bucks balance or confirm your Crew subscription to unlock it.
You can also gift the Override Pass to a friend, though gifting requires real money since V-Bucks cannot be used for pass gifting.

All 8 Override Pass skins explained
K1tty W1ns
K1tty W1ns is the lighthearted wildcard of the pass. In the Override trailer, while other characters react to the chaos around Jones, she's completely unbothered, playing games on a handheld device. The energy is pure chaos gremlin, and that's what makes her stand out.
Phantom
Phantom fills the military-veteran archetype that almost every Fortnite season includes. His design is straightforward, but the community has already latched onto him as the closest thing to a Helldivers 2 collab the game has offered so far.
Grace Crowne
Grace Crowne looks like a covert operative, and her appearance in the Override trailer, sliding and dual-wielding SMGs, lines up with rumors of a Cyberpunk-themed weapon addition to the loot pool when Override launches.
Geno
A new variant of Geno returns for Season 4. This iteration trades his previous look for dark black armor with a helmet, distinguishing him from The Ageless version players may already have.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog is the headline collab of the Override Pass, confirming the long-running leak that the blue speedster was coming to Chapter 7. The Sonic skin also unlocks a Tails sidekick, making it the only pass skin to come with a bundled companion cosmetic. Sonic is expected to tie directly into the storyline as Jonesy moves toward a confrontation with Geno.
Mali
Mali appears in the reveal trailer squaring off against Jonesy in one-on-one combat. The design pulls clear inspiration from Mortal Kombat, which fits the gaming-legends theme running through the entire season.
Wrixel
Wrixel is the Tetris collab skin, arriving alongside the Fortnite x Tetris crossover on August 20, 2026. The character has a blocky, box-shaped head that reads somewhere between Tetris piece and Minecraft mob. What sets Wrixel apart mechanically is the customization: the skin reportedly supports over a million style combinations, making it one of the most flexible cosmetics in the pass.
Bastian
Bastian rounds out the pass with a sword-and-shield warrior aesthetic that draws obvious comparisons to Link from The Legend of Zelda. Whether that comparison is coincidence or a hint at a Nintendo collaboration remains to be seen from the season's content rollout.

What other rewards are in the Override Pass?
Beyond the 8 skins, the Override Pass includes additional cosmetics tied to each character, such as back blings, pickaxes, wraps, and loading screens. The Tails sidekick is the most notable bonus item confirmed so far. Wrixel's million-plus style variants also add significant replay value to the pass for players who enjoy customization.
