Fortnite will introduce a Sabrina Carpenter skin on April 8 according to HYPEX, a well-known Fortnite leaker. An Icon Series skin, it will give various iterations to players, as well as exclusive cosmetics and emotes inspired by the pop star.
Players have seen some Easter eggs in Fortnite, such as a microphone that is exactly like the one Sabrina Carpenter took on tour, and a huge lipstick stain at Canyon Crossing. She will also headline Fortnite Festival Season 8.
Of course, the internet couldn't let the news pass without some jokes. While some are hyped, others think Fortnite is adding too many random characters and that the game is losing its charm.
Some players aren't even interested, while others are just roasting for the fun of it, as always.

Some users roasted the update, making jokes that Fortnite is adding nearly anyone these days. Others teased the trend of recruiting celebrities purely for their fame and name. Some even went so far as to jokingly forecast the game's demise due to such additions.
User @rexxgta stated:
"Of all the good artists they could have chosen…"
Another user, @YoImAval, said:
"Fortnite's on a downfall now."
User @mauricespcs went on to say:
"They could've picked ANYONE else 😭"
User @PrizePicks poked fun, saying:
"Fortnite really collabing with everyone"
One user captured the moment perfectly with a 'wait, what?' emoji, showing how most gamers aren't typically associated with pop culture in this way. Others chimed in with jokes that if they do not win playing with the Sabrina Carpenter skin, they are uninstalling the game.
One user, @qbpick, described the state of a typical gamer:
"Meanwhile Typical Gamer 🤷🏻♂️"
A user @solmeena joked:
"if i lose a game to someone wearing this skin, i’m deleting the app."
Netizen @Otaku_Wire_ stated:
"We just adding anyone with name and presence these days huh?"
Some users joked that they would wait for their favorite individuals to be added to the game. One user asked in jest when the morning routine guy would appear, and another, anticipating Post Malone, dropped a disappointment GIF that yet another celebrity had been added — but still not him.
A user @DxTCinema hilariously mentioned:
"Waiting for the morning routine dude."
A user posted a GIF saying that they wanted Post Malone skin.
