Fortnite DC Summer Skins Exact Release Date & All Cosmetics

Q: When do the Fortnite DC Summer skins release?

All DC Summer cosmetics go live on July 16, 2026, once downtime for update v41.20 ends. The Item Shop listing is expected at 8 PM ET on July 16. Every skin in the collab releases on the same day, so there's no staggered rollout to worry about. The skins will stay listed in the Item Shop for the duration of the Hot Bat Summer event. Check out the full Hot Bat Summer DC event breakdown for the exact end date and all event-specific changes arriving with the update.

Q: What are all the DC Summer cosmetics and prices?

The collab splits into two bundles. The Gotham City Summer Bundle covers everything, while the High Tide Harley & Sunflower Ivy Bundle focuses on just Harley and Ivy. Buying a bundle saves V-Bucks compared to picking up items individually. The full Gotham City Summer Bundle at 5,000 V-Bucks is the most cost-effective route if you want everything. Buying all four outfits plus accessories separately would cost significantly more.

Q: Which DC Summer bundle is worth buying?

If Batman is your main reason for opening the wallet, the Gotham City Summer Bundle at 5,000 V-Bucks gives you the best per-item value. It includes all 4 outfits, all 4 back blings, all 4 pickaxes, both emotes, the kicks, and the Bat-Hound sidekick. The High Tide Harley & Sunflower Ivy Bundle at 3,000 V-Bucks makes sense if you only want those two characters and their matching accessories. Skipping the Bat-Hound and Batman side of the collab saves you 2,000 V-Bucks. Buying items individually only makes sense if you want one or two specific pieces. A single outfit at 1,500 V-Bucks plus a matching pickaxe at 800 V-Bucks already runs to 2,300 V-Bucks, which is close to the cost of the smaller bundle.

The Hot Bat Summer event brings four DC characters to Fortnite on July 16, 2026, and the cosmetic lineup is bigger than most DC collabs. You're getting Batman, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, and Poison Ivy in summer-themed outfits, plus matching back blings, pickaxes, a Bat-Hound sidekick, kicks, and emotes. Everything drops with update v41.20 at 8 PM ET on July 16.

What's included in the full DC Summer cosmetic list?

Here's a clean breakdown of every item type arriving with the Hot Bat Summer collab:

Outfits (x4): Batman, Catwoman, High Tide Harley Quinn, Sunflower Ivy
Back Blings (x4): One per outfit
Pickaxes (x4): One per outfit
Emotes (x2): Exact names unconfirmed pre-launch
Kicks (x1): Shoe cosmetic for the collab
Bat-Hound Sidekick (x1): Pet cosmetic, 1,200 V-Bucks standalone

That's 15 individual cosmetics in total, making this one of the larger DC drops Fortnite has run. The Bat-Hound sidekick is the standout non-outfit item here, especially for players who want something functional-looking on the battlefield without spending on a full bundle.
