Overview

  • Fortnite temporarily removed the Simpsons couch interaction to resolve a bug that could grant invincibility, with Fortnite Status saying a fix is on the way.
  • The month-long mini-season is live with an 80-player, cel-shaded Springfield Island featuring nine POIs and a back-to-basics Battle Royale experience.
  • A Springfield Battle Pass adds outfits such as Homer, Marge, and Ned Flanders and debuts Sidekicks, with Peels available now and additional Sidekicks coming to the Shop on November 7.
  • Four original animated shorts co-produced with Gracie Films are releasing weekly on Disney+ and Fortnite channels to preview each week’s gameplay and map updates.
  • The Simpsons aired a Fortnite-themed couch gag as cross-promotion, and players can unlock a free Kang & Kodos glider by linking MyDisney and Epic accounts through February 2026.
