For those looking to enhance their gaming experience, there is a Premium Reward Track upgrade available for purchase at 1,800 V-Bucks. This upgrade unlocks additional content, including the iconic 'Poker Face' track and Gaga-themed cosmetics like the Enigmatic Gaga Outfit and custom instruments.
In addition to the Premium Reward Track, players can also access a free track that includes new jam tracks, an aura, and emotes. The item shop will feature a variety of Gaga-inspired items throughout Season 2, such as the Chromatica Armor Outfit, Chromatica Bass, and Chromatica Mic.
This collaboration marks Lady Gaga as the second-ever headliner for Fortnite Festival mode, following The Weeknd's debut in late 2023. The partnership between Gaga and Fortnite comes at a time when Disney has announced a significant investment in Epic Games, the developer behind Fortnite.
Disney's $1.5 billion investment in Epic Games signals the company's ambitious plans to expand its presence in the gaming industry. Disney CEO Bob Iger highlighted the strategic relationship between Disney and Epic Games, emphasizing the creation of a vast Disney universe within the Fortnite platform.
