The Epic Games Cup, slated to run on July 15‑16, offers Fortnite players a chance to acquire the Odysseus skin entirely for free.
To claim the skin, participants must compete in The Odyssey Cup, which opens across both Battle Royale and Zero‑Build modes in Chapter 7 Season 3 and runs a parallel mobile event in Reload.

Robust placement thresholds unlock the main skin alongside a suite of complementary items:
- 1–100th place: Odysseus skin
- 1–100th place: Odysseus’ Xiphos pickaxe
- 1–100th place: Bow of Iphytus back bling

Item Shop Release Schedule
Should players fail to secure a qualifying position, the Odysseus skin will become purchasable in the Fortnite Item Shop on July 17, 2026, at 8 PM ET—aligned with the film’s premiere.
How to Enlist in the Cup
Open the in‑game Compete tab, select The Odyssey Cup, and choose either Solo or Mobile based on device. Aim for the top placements above to secure free cosmetic drops, or acquire the skin later through the Item Shop if necessary.
Fortnite’s free skin cadence underscores Epic’s strategy of tying in high‑profile collaborations with competitive reward systems, keeping the community engaged across platforms.
