Fortnite-Themed Switch Joy-Cons Available To Preorder Now
You can outfit your Switch with special blue and yellow Joy-Cons and get some in-game loot starting June 4.
Epic and Nintendo are releasing another piece of special-edition Fortnite hardware, a pair of themed Switch Joy-Con controllers. The controllers come with a Fortnite-themed paintjob, and just for good measure, they include some cosmetic DLC as well. The Joy-Con two-pack is coming on June 4.
The package includes a blue left Joy-Con and a yellow right Joy-Con, and the yellow one has an extra design element to look like Peely the banana. The set also includes the Fleet Force bundle, which grants you back bling, glowing weapons, and 500 V-Bucks. The Joy-Con bundle costs $80, and you can preorder it now.
Nintendo has offered special hardware based on the popular battle royale game before, having made the system itself sport a Fortnite makeover. The Wildcat bundle also included a yellow-and-blue color scheme, but reversed and with other Fortnite design elements on the Switch itself and the dock.
Gear up in style with the Joy-Con Fortnite Fleet Force Bundle, available June 4! Includes a uniquely designed yellow Joy-Con and blue Joy-Con, 500 V-Bucks & a download code for in-game cosmetics.
