After opening the item page, you will see the download button on the left side. As soon as you press that button, the content will be added to your Epic Games account, and you will be able to access these new cosmetic items.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that Sony has added any confirmation messages regarding the free pack. However, if the download button disappears from the item page, you have successfully obtained the pack.


3) Open the game and check your locker

Once you obtain the pack from the PlayStation Store, you will have to launch Fortnite to claim the free items. Remember that the items will not appear if the game is already running in the background. If this is the case, you will have to restart it.

As soon as you enter the game, you will get a pop-up screen showing the free items you have obtained. If you don't see the pop-up, open your Locker screen and check if the items are there. You should be able to see three new cosmetics, including the Follow the Butterfly emote.

The exclusive pack contains the following cosmetic items:

  • Follow the Butterfly emote
  • Snow Sailer glider
  • Snowball Flight contrail

It's important to note that this is a limited-time offer, meaning it won't be obtainable after it expires.
