T-Pain Is Getting His Own Fortnite Character and a Custom World That Is 'Redefining Zone Wars Gameplay'

T-Pain is making his grand debut in Fortnite today, June 6, and IGN can exclusively reveal the first look at his in-game character and details on his custom world that is “redefining Zone Wars gameplay” and giving players the ability to shrink down and battle across T-Pain’s gaming setup, use food-powered abilities, and more.
T-Pain is making his arrival in Fortnite debut alongside Jack in the Box’s Jack Box, and you can check out that first look of the pair in the slideshow below.
Among other exciting surprises, players will be able to look forward to the following in ‘Jack Zone Wars’;
- Micro Arena Combat: Players shrink down and battle across T-Pain’s oversized gaming setup, using monitors, energy drinks, and controllers as cover
- Food-Powered Abilities: Munchie Meal items become power-ups—tacos restore health, Stuffed Cookies grant super speed, Curly Fries enable high jumps, and Burg-R-Tater Melts deliver double pump damage
- App Integration Advantage: Order through Jack’s app to unlock T-Pain’s exclusive loadout with enhanced damage and mythic weapon access
- Dynamic Game Masters: T-Pain controls storm mechanics while Jack drops limited-time power-ups, creating unpredictable match flow
- Celebrity Showdown: Live stream battle featuring T-Pain and Jack Box on June 26th where fans can compete against the two legends in a live battle royale.
“Jack in the Box was a great collab because it felt real,” T-Pain said of this partnership. “At this point in my career, I’m only teaming up with brands that are genuinely authentic to me. I’ve gotta actually use the product—or in this case, eat it! Ha! Plus, they’re just a fun company that doesn’t take things too seriously—kinda like me. The shoot was really cool because they blended their creativity with my real-life vibe in a way that just made sense.”
T-Pain also loves that his setup has been recreated in-game with a twist, saying, “I got Jack in the Box food all over my studio desk – it’s crazy!”
This collaboration marks T-Pain’s “biggest gaming venture” and Jack in the Box’s “first celebrity Fortnite integration.” It also builds upon Jack in the Box’s ‘Jack’s CEO Minigames, which launched back in April 2025 and lets you chase the ultimate prize of becoming CEO of Jack in the Box.
