Peely was first released into Fortnite Battle Royale with the Chapter 1 Season 8 Battle Pass. Players needed to reach Tier 47 to unlock him, but shortly after, the character was everywhere.

Epic Games has released numerous different variants of Peely, including P-1000, Peely Bone, and Agent Peely. The last skin was especially popular as it required players to reach Level 350 in Chapter 2 Season 2, which was extremely difficult.

Peely has been the most popular Fortnite skin for a long time and will most likely stay at the top of the list for at least a few more seasons.
