Fortnite ‘Is All Vibes Now’ as Players in Sabrina Carpenter Skins Dance It Out Instead of Fighting

Sabrina Carpenter has joined the ranks in Fortnite, and she’s bringing peace and love to the battle royale.

Developer Epic Games reported “dance-related stalemates are on the rise” as players sporting the Sabrina skin are putting away their weapons and getting jiggy with it instead.

“[Battle Royale] is all vibes now,” the developer teased on X/Twitter.

“So, I was playing a game of Fornite ZB Reload and I saw two Sabrina skins just hanging,” explained one fan on the Fortnite subreddit.

“They crouched and uncrouched and I stopped shooting, and well, before we knew [it], us three became, like, nine players who stopped fighting and only danced around.

“Truly the most wholesome thing I’ve seen in a video game,” they added.

“This right here is why I love Fortnite,” added a commenter. “Out of all the online games I’ve played, the fact that this game has silly emotes and a rotating character pool that the community gets into makes for unique moments like this, that I’ve never seen in any other game.

“Imagine doing this in PUBG, or Tarkov.”

Did you catch the news that Fortnite is getting a special Nintendo Switch 2 port? Epic Games’ trend-setting battle royale showed up during a sizzle reel during last week’s Nintendo Switch 2 Direct to confirm that a new version is in development. It’ll launch with Nintendo’s new hybrid console this June.
