The free track will include Woodworker Drums, three new jam tracks, an aura and two new emotes.

Gaga is the second-ever headliner for “Fortnite” Festival mode, which debuted in late 2023 with The Weeknd as its leading icon.
Earlier this month, Disney announced it would be investing $1.5 billion in Fortnite developer Epic Games in what will be the brand’s “biggest foray into the game space ever,” Disney CEO Bob Iger said.
“We’ve entered into a strategic relationship with Epic Games, the maker of Fortnite to not only invest in the company — [Disney] took a minority stake of $1.5 billion investment — but we’re also creating a huge Disney universe,” Iger said in on CNBC ahead of the company’s quarterly earnings call.
