How to get The Weeknd Skin in Fortnite (April 18, 2024)

The Weeknd is the first Icon Series Skin in Fortnite to be part of Festival Season 1. Given the artist's popularity, having him in-game was not something the community expected. So, when he was added at the start of Chapter 5 Season 1 (update v28.00), it came as a total surprise to fans, and the hype surrounding this collaboration was off the charts.

Aside from the Skin/Outfit, Jam Tracks were also added to the game for players to jam with friends in the new Festival mode. Instruments custom-designed for The Weeknd were added as well. In short, this was by far the most hyped collaboration at the start of Chapter 5 Season 1.

Keeping this in mind, here is how to get The Weeknd Skin in Fortnite.
