42 New Sprites Arriving in Fortnite v42.20 Update
The v42.20 Update Overview
The Fortnite v42.20 update launches September 17, 2026, adding 42 new Sprites to Chapter 7 Season 4 Override. VICE reported the full breakdown on September 16, confirming the sprite count and the update's scope. This is the largest sprite addition since the Override season began, and it coincides with the Kingdom Hearts collaboration launch and the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners shop items.
42 New Sprites: What You Can Expect
Sprites in Fortnite are small, animated cosmetic items that players can equip in their lobby and in-game. They float above the player character and add a layer of personalization. The Override season has been expanding the sprite system with new variants, color options, and themed collections. The 42 new sprites in v42.20 include themed sets from the Override universe, the Kingdom Hearts collaboration, and the ongoing Gaming Legends celebration.
How to Unlock New Sprites
New sprites can be unlocked through several methods: completing Override story quests, participating in events like Mastery Monday, finding sprite spawns in the game world, and receiving them as rewards from admin panel codes. Some sprites are exclusive to the Battle Pass, while others are available through event participation or shop purchases. The v42.20 update adds unlock methods tied to the Kingdom Hearts collab and the v42.20 event content.
Sprite Dust and Rewards
Sprite Dust is the currency used to upgrade and unlock new sprite variants. Players earn Sprite Dust by collecting sprites in the game world, completing challenges, and redeeming admin panel codes. The v42.20 update introduces new Sprite Dust rewards tied to the 42 new sprites, and the September 2026 admin panel codes include Sprite Dust as one of the rewards. Collecting all 42 new sprites will require a combination of gameplay, event participation, and possibly V-Bucks for shop-exclusive sprites.
Kingdom Hearts Sprites
The Kingdom Hearts collaboration launching on the same day as v42.20 is expected to include themed sprites featuring Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Roxas. These sprites will likely be available through the collaboration's event content or as exclusive rewards for players who purchase Kingdom Hearts items. The Cyberpunk: Edgerunners shop items (Lucy outfit, Rebecca back bling, David's Jacket) may also include themed sprites as bonus content.
Full v42.20 Update Guide
The v42.20 update also includes new weapons, lobby hacks, and storyline voicelines for Chapter 7 Season 4 Override. The 42 new sprites are just one part of the update's content.
