Speculation around an IShowSpeed Fortnite collab is heating up after a possible leak appeared during a livestream on September 9. While browsing Discord, streamer Kai Cenat briefly revealed a chat labeled “IShowSpeed x Fortnite Collab,” fueling an immediate wave of rumors that Epic Games may be preparing a new cosmetic set dedicated to the popular YouTuber and streamer. The screenshot circulated widely on Twitter and Reddit, sparking ongoing debates about its authenticity and what a potential collab might actually look like.
The Fortnite Icon Series has grown steadily since its original launch, introducing an impressive range of big names like Marshmello, Ninja, Lady Gaga, and even Metallica. Kai Cenat himself is already confirmed to receive an official skin on September 12, and this timeline has many players convinced that an IShowSpeed collab announcement may follow shortly afterward. The idea of back-to-back streamer drops fits neatly with Epic’s recent strategy of keeping Fortnite culturally relevant through celebrity partnerships.
Epic Games has not issued any statement about the growing rumors, yet the timing aligns perfectly with the Fortnite September 2025 update roadmap. Patch v37.20 launched on September 10, while patch v37.30 is due to arrive September 16, leading fans to hope that an official Fortnite IShowSpeed reveal may be tied to this release cycle.
Supporters argue that adding Speed to Fortnite would make sense considering his massive online following and strong ties to the game through past streams. Others speculate that both Cenat and Speed could be part of a larger streamer collaboration event. Meanwhile, skeptics remain cautious, suggesting the Discord screenshot could have been a prank or an internal placeholder. Even so, the buzz alone has energized discussion, making IShowSpeed appear to be one of the strongest candidates to join Fortnite’s next wave of Icon Series skins.
