From now until June 9, 2023 at 11 a.m. EDT, all players who buy Among Us on the Epic Games Store will get both the Distraction Dance emote and the Crewmate back bling. Among Us is $4.99.
If you already own Among Us on the Epic Games Store, you can buy any pack of stars to get the cosmetics. The cheapest star pack is $1.99 for 20 stars.
The cosmetics will be added to your account shortly after buying the game, and you’ll get an in-game popup in Fortnite noting that they’ve been unlocked.
Note that owning it on Steam or on mobile devices is different from having it on Epic Games. If you already own the game on other platforms, you’ll still need to buy it on the Epic Games Store to get the bundle.
Even if you play Fortnite on consoles, you’ll be able to unlock the Among Us bundle — just make sure your account is linked to the one you made the Among Us purchase with.
You can also buy the bundle for 600 V Bucks, but as with the other cosmetics in Fortnite, the bundle rotates in and out of the shop somewhat randomly.
Update (June 21): The Among Us bundle is now available in the shop outside of the promotion. We’ve updated this guide with new information.
Why it mattersWhen Epic Games released the battle royale game, it took players and new platforms like Twitch by storm and drew more than 125 million players in its first year. Since then, Fortnite has become a receptacle for digital culture where you play a Lego survival game or hit the griddy as Goku.
