For months, leakers speculated that the giant monolith on the Chapter 6 Season 4 map was tied to Daft Punk. A few days ago, people found posts of the Fortnite Daft Punk Experience featuring a QR code at the bottom, which let the fans set a reminder for September 27, 2025.

Soon after, Fortnite released a password-protected reel, with the code "pyramid", a subtle nod to the infamous Daft Punk stage design from the 2000s. The video featured a cryptic message, which many thought was in The Weeknd's voice. The speculation turned real when singer himself posted an Instagram story tagging Fortnite and Daft Punk.

Finally, on September 22, 2025, Epic Games released a blog confirming everything. The Daft Punk Experience will go live on September 27 at 1:30 PM Eastern Time. Do note that this is not a concert, but an interactive music playground. Epic Games has also confirmed that there will be an afterparty event, but not much is known about it yet.

As always, the collaboration also includes skin bundles that will arrive in the Fortnite Item Shop on the same day.

That's everything you need to know about the Fortnite x Daft Punk collaboration.
