Are you bored with the cars you have currently in Fortnite and have been looking for a new one without touching your V-Bucks? We've got good news for you. Epic is handing out a real-world vehicle for free right now, and all it takes is a little time inside another game you probably already own. Here is how to get the Hyundai Ioniq 6 in Fortnite for free.
How to Unlock the Free Hyundai Ioniq 6 in Fortnite
The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is an electric car made by Hyundai, and it is now a free Car Body you can earn inside Rocket League. Once you earn it there, it automatically carries over into your Fortnite locker through Epic's cross-game compatibility system.
The whole process runs through the FIFA World Cup 2026 event inside Rocket League. This is a limited-time in-game event connected to the real-world FIFA World Cup happening in North America in 2026, and Epic partnered with both FIFA and Hyundai to bring the collab into their games.
Step-by-Step Guide
You need to complete 10 FIFA World Cup 2026 challenges inside Rocket League. These challenges are standard event tasks like winning matches, scoring goals, or finishing specific event game modes.
- Head into Rocket League.
- Find the World Cup event tab.
- Start knocking the challenges out one by one.
Once you hit 10 completed challenges, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 unlocks in your Rocket League garage and then shows up in Fortnite automatically since both games share the same Epic Games account system.
You have until Monday, July 20th, 2026, to finish your 10 challenges. Once that window closes, there is no guarantee these rewards return, so treat the deadline seriously.
All Rewards That Carry Over to Fortnite
The Ioniq 6 is not the only thing you earn. The full set of cross-game rewards looks like this:
| Reward | Type |
|---|---|
| Hyundai Ioniq 6 | Free Car Body |
| Hyundai Ioniq 6: LA Mode | Car Decal |
| FIFA 2026 Boost | Boost Item |
How Cross-Game Compatibility Works
Epic's cross-game system is what makes this possible. Because both Fortnite and Rocket League run under the same Epic Games account, certain items can move between the two games automatically. You do not need to manually claim the Ioniq 6 in Fortnite after earning it in Rocket League. It just shows up in your locker. The only thing you need to confirm is that you are playing both games on the same Epic account.
Ten challenges for a free car with two extra cosmetics is a pretty good deal. Just get those challenges done, and you will have a brand new Ioniq 6 waiting in your Fortnite locker before July 20th.
Of course! The challenges are hosted inside Rocket League, so you need to play it. Rocket League is free to download, so there is no cost to play the game.
It functions as a Car Body cosmetic in your locker, the same way other cross-game vehicle items work in Fortnite.
The event ends and the challenges close, so you will likely lose the chance to earn the free car. There is no current confirmation of its return for now.
