Fortnite’s newest Sprite iteration—Cube Sprite—was unveiled on July 23 during the Chapter 7, Season 3 hotfix, marking the first time the franchise’s pixelated cube icon appears in the game’s arsenal.
Where the Cube Sprites Hide
Cube Sprites can only be unearthed inside rare or Sprite Chests that pepper the island. Because of their specialized nature, players are encouraged to target Sprite‑only containers to increase the chance of finding one.
For precision, the in‑game Sprite Locator tool can highlight the few sprite‑specific chests, but success ultimately depends on the random spawn system.
All Cube Sprite Variants and Hotspots
- Cube Earth – Found in Sprite Chests near Golden Grove, Latte Landing, The Zero Point, Cluster Coast, and Frosted Flats.
- Cube Fire – Appears in chests scattered across Sinister Strip, The Battlewoods, Heatwave Harbor, and Shaken Sanctuary.
- Cube Fishy – Opens in chests at Heatwave Harbor, Calamari Canyon, Cluster Coast, Sunken Shores, and certain fishing spots.
- Cube Punk – Surfaces inside Vaults.
- Cube Dream – Revealed within Vaults, Teleporters, Latte Landing, Lifty Lodge, and Calamari Canyon.
- Cube Boss – Emerges from Sprite Chests using the Locator in rare areas or after defeating a Fortnite boss.
- Cube Grim – Appears in chests around Golden Grove, Wonkeeland, and Sunken Shores, or via the Locator.
- Cube Batman – Drops from chests inside Vaults, Golden Grove, Wonkeeland, or rare containers.
What the Cube Sprite Power Does
When a player is enveloped by the storm’s core, the Cube Sprite grants an Overdrive effect that mirrors the Striker Sprite’s boost: sprinting speed is amplified and jumps are higher for a limited duration. Outside the storm, the buff is inactive.
Boosting Your Chances: Shiny Sprite Power Hours
Epic Games announced a run of Shiny Sprite Power Hours on July 25, 2026, at 2 PM and 9 PM ET—an event that temporarily inflates the spawn rates of all special Sprite variants, including the Cube Sprites. This is an opportune moment to library an extra Cube Sprite before rivals.
Rarity and Spawn Rates
As of this update, exact spawn probabilities for Cube Sprites remain undisclosed. Based on the precedent set by other rare variants like Galaxy Sprites, the community anticipates the Cube Sprites to be rarer than most other Sprite types.
Players seeking frequent draws should keep an eye on the ongoing Power Hours and monitor future patch notes for any adjustments in spawn data.
Despite the scarcity, the strategic advantage offered by the Cube Sprite’s Overdrive remains a compelling reason to hunt for them during the season’s late‑game storms.
