Galaxy Crossfade is one of the best-looking Fortnite skins. Epic Games recently released a few new styles for it, making it look even better. Unfortunately, the cosmetic item is currently not obtainable, which is why many players wonder when it’ll be released in the Item Shop.

The skin was released in partnership with Samsung for the promotion of Galaxy smartphones. Due to this, Galaxy Crossfade was free for those who managed to achieve great results in a tournament that took place in late July. Epic clarified that the skin would come to the Item Shop, but that hasn’t happened yet.

In this article, we’ll try to predict when the skin will hit the Item Shop.

How can I buy Galaxy Crossfade in Fortnite?

If you missed the Galaxy Cup in late July, the only way to get the Galaxy Crossfade skin is to wait for it to come to the Item Shop. The skin has an Epic (Purple) rarity, which is why it’ll likely cost around 1,500 V-Bucks.

Its current Item Shop release date is unknown. However, we’ll try to predict it based on the previous Galaxy tournament and their skins. Here are a few other skins that were obtainable through cups and their Item Shop release dates.

Two previous Galaxy-themed skins came to the Item Shop within a week of the tournament. However, Galaxy Crossfade was obtainable on July 29 and 30, yet it still hasn’t been released to the Item Shop.

The new skin is late because of the v25.30 update. Epic Games first wanted to add additional styles to it before releasing it to the Item Shop. Due to this, we expect the skin to come out by Saturday, August 12. If not, the skin will certainly come out by August 25, which will mark the end of the current season.
