Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7 has been the season of celebrations with the game featuring a summer celebration a few weeks ago. Pride Month was in June, but there’s no time limit on celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community, so Epic Games is doing it in July. Along with the new 17.20 update, the Rainbow Royale cosmetics have been added to the game.

It hasn’t been confirmed yet whether we will see Pride-themed skins, a recently leaked Rainbow Racer skin was rumoured to be created to celebrate Pride but it was never added to the store.
