Fortnite's 'Rainbow Royale' Celebrates LGBTQ+ Community With Music And Rainbows

"Everyone is welcome on the Battle Bus".

 

 

 

Pride Month may have ended, but pride (lowercase) is all year round — and that includes video games. Fortnite has added a new event called Rainbow Royale to the game, celebrating diversity, community, and its many LGBTQ+ players with rainbow items, new songs by LGBTQ+ artists, and massive pride flags.

 

The rainbow items include:

 

• Four new rainbow sprays (llama, heart, disco ball grenade, and star)
• A "Sunshine & Rainbows" wrap
• The "Take a'Bow" emote

 

There is also a new rainbow flag prop in Fortnite Creative.

 

 

There will also be new music in the Battle Royale, borrowed from Rocket League's Love ISLV playlist last month, and celebrating specifically LGBTQ+ musicians:

 

Love Izlv Radio

 

BEATBOX

• Big Freedia - Platinum
• Lil Nas X - Montero

 

RADIO UNDERGROUND

• King Princess - Pain
• Troye Sivan - STUD
• Ben Platt - Imagine

 

POWER PLAY

• Kim Petras - Malibu

 

The Rainbow Royale event runs from today, July 20th, through to July 27th at 8pm ET (July 28th, 1am BST).
