LGBTQ+ Fortnite players have something to look forward to — a new rainbow skin.
Popular content creator Chica is getting her own skin in the game as part of the Icon Series, an offering of outfits based on celebrities and popular streamers.
Chica, who is bisexual, shared the news to Twitter on Wednesday, alongside a video of an avatar wearing the rainbow-laced skin in action.
\u201cATTENTION POLLOS \ud83d\udc23 MY ICON SKIN IS ARRIVING:\u201d— Chica (@Chica) 1651673022
Her fans were thrilled about both the LGBTQ+ and Puerto Rican rep that the new outfit provides, and weren’t shy about saying as much.

\u201cWOOOOOO\u201d— LGBTQ Fortnite Clan (@LGBTQ Fortnite Clan) 1651670000
\u201cI\u2019ve watched and followed @ChicaLive for almost 3 years now. I can\u2019t express how amazing it is to see her get her own fortnite skin and bundle. Not only is she representing woman in gaming, but she\u2019s also representing Hispanics/Latinos and the LGBTQ community as well! So proud\ud83d\ude2d\u201d— Mei\u2728 (@Mei\u2728) 1651669738
Although Fortnite has long been considered an LGBTQ+ friendly game, and they’ve released skins representative of the community in the past, this is the first Icon Series skin for an out LGBTQ+ person. We’ll take the win!
GameSpot has further information about how to gain access the Chica icon series skin when it becomes available.
