Fortnite Batman Sprite Release Date and Update Time
A Fortnite Batman Sprite will be released on Thursday, July 16, 2026 during the game’s next major update. The new Sprite will make its debut alongside a Summer-themed DC Fortnite collab. According to a leak posted by dataminer NotPaloIntel on X, the crossover will reportedly launch after the July 16 update goes live.
Based on previous patches, the Fortnite Batman Sprite should be added to the game starting at 4 AM PT / 7 AM ET. Although Epic Games can sometimes need more time to complete a major Fortnite update. So this is an estimated schedule. Basically, once the Fortnite servers are back up, the Batman Sprite should be unlockable.
