Argentine soccer star Lionel Messi has officially entered the world of Fortnite, bringing a range of fresh outfits, emotes, and accessories that allow players to embody the spirit of the football icon.

It’s incredible to see myself represented in Fortnite. Growing up, I never imagined something like this would be possible. Soccer has always been about joy and connection, and now fans can experience that through my outfits in a way that extends beyond the field. I hope they have a blast!
