If you’ve flipped the channel to CBS to find an episode of Young Sheldon or The Big Bang Theory playing and thought, “I want to play as that guy in Fortnite,” this is the article for you. With rumors swirling about the character’s inclusion, here’s the answer to whether a Young Sheldon skin is coming to Fortnite.
Is a Young Sheldon Skin Coming to Fortnite, Answered
The first thing to consider when diving into the idea of Young Sheldon being in the game is the fact that the game has countless collaborations, and some are a lot stranger than others. LeBron James has multiple skins in the game, and one of the first Fortnite Crew skins was of Green Arrow, but it wasn’t just any Green Arrow – he’s very clearly wearing the costume from Season 8 of Arrow. However, despite all that, Young Sheldon getting a skin would probably take home the award for strangest collab.
That’s mostly because Young Sheldon, as well as his older counterpart, don’t exactly scream video game character. Sure, Young Sheldon is into plenty of nerdy things, but he probably wouldn’t last very long if he got dropped in a Battle Royale situation. So, then, it’s probably for the best that Young Sheldon is not getting a Fortnite skin.
For the second time in as many months, rumors all over the Internet claim that a Young Sheldon collab is on the way, but Epic Games has yet to address them, let alone make an official announcement. These whispers probably stem from the fact that Young Sheldon has become something of a meme, especially after the show took over TikTok, with countless accounts uploading clips from the show spliced together with someone playing Minecraft.
Will Young Sheldon Get a Fortnite Skin?
Just because Young Sheldon won’t be using a “Bazinga” emote in Battle Royale anytime soon doesn’t mean he can’t be added later on, though it seems pretty unlikely that will actually happen, especially as the show is entering its final season. As such, you probably shouldn’t hold out hope of Young Sheldon ever ending up in Fortnite.
Fortnite is available to play now on various platforms, including the Meta Quest 2 and 3.
