Stone Cold Steve Austin skin is coming to Fortnite. Epic Games officially confirmed the WWE Hall of Famer is joining the Item Shop as part of Fortnite x WWE Wave 3, and the first look at his skin is exactly what fans have been waiting for.
Stone Cold Steve Austin Skin Release Date in Fortnite
The Stone Cold Steve Austin skin lands in the Fortnite Item Shop on Thursday, April 16th, 2026, the same day as the v40.20 update. You should be able to grab it as soon as the update finishes downloading and the shop refreshes. Mark your calendar if you don't want to miss the drop.
What's Inside the Stone Cold Steve Austin Skin Bundle in Fortnite
The skin actually nails Austin's most iconic look with his black vest, jean shorts, and that stone-faced attitude that made him the most popular superstar in WWE history. The moment you equip it, there's no mistaking who you are on that island.
Here's everything that comes in the bundle:
| Cosmetic | Icon | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Stone Cold Steve Austin Skin | TBA | 1,500 V-Bucks |
| Smoking Skull Back Bling | TBA | 300 V-Bucks |
| Slurp Juice Pickaxe | TBA | 800 V-Bucks |
| Beer Chug Emote | TBA | 400 V-Bucks |
The emote deserves a special mention. Stone Cold popping beers in the ring is one of wrestling's most legendary moments, but Fortnite is rated T for Teen. So Epic made a smart swap. Instead of beer cans, Austin cracks open Slurp Juice!
Austin isn't showing up alone, though. Because Liv Morgan is also expected to drop on the same date as part of Fortnite x WWE Wave 3. Epic hasn't made an official announcement about Morgan yet, but reports strongly point to her releasing alongside Stone Cold on April 16.
All WWE Superstar Skins in Fortnite
The WWE roster in Fortnite keeps growing. Here's every superstar already in the game, plus the new additions coming this week:
| WWE Superstar | Icon | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Cody Rhodes |  | Available in Item Shop |
| John Cena |  | Available in Item Shop |
| Becky Lynch |  | Available in Item Shop |
| Bianca Belair |  | Available in Item Shop |
| The Undertaker |  | Available in Item Shop |
| The Rock (The Foundation) |  | Chapter 7 Season 2 Battle Pass |
| Stone Cold Steve Austin | TBA | Releasing April 16, 2026 |
| Liv Morgan | TBA | Expected April 16, 2026 |
The Rock is already in the game as The Foundation, a key character in the Chapter 7 Season 2 story. That means you can now put Stone Cold and The Rock on the same island and settle the rivalry once and for all.
Is Stone Cold Coming Back to Wrestling?
If you're hoping the Fortnite skin means a return to the ring, Austin has already cleared that up. He recently told Busted Open Radio that he's done as an in-ring performer. He said he could still go physically, but he's not looking to return.
Austin did mention he wished his last match against Kevin Owens had been better prepared, but he's made peace with where things stand. For now, Fortnite is the closest you're getting to Stone Cold in action. If Stone Cold has been sitting on your Fortnite wish list, April 16 is your day!
