The Fortnite Gaming Legends series is a collection of crossover skins featuring some of the most recognizable figures in gaming. The characters included in this lineup are typically from major gaming franchises, though their inclusion often depends on licensing agreements. Originally, these skins were classified with a unique rarity in the item shop, but Fortnite later removed cosmetic rarities, leaving Gaming Legends as a standalone category without a specific rarity tier.
Which Franchise Has the Most Fortnite Skins?
While Fortnite itself naturally has the highest number of skins, several gaming franchises have received multiple representations. Among them, Street Fighter currently holds the record with five skins in the game. Given the series’ extensive history and vast roster of characters, this number could easily grow. Other franchises, such as Resident Evil, have also seen multiple additions over time.
The number of Gaming Legends skins from a single franchise often depends on their popularity, demand, and licensing agreements. Some publishers and developers are more willing to collaborate with Epic Games, while others remain cautious. This means that while Fortnite has introduced a diverse set of gaming characters, many potential crossovers remain unexplored.

Not every leaked or planned Gaming Legends skin makes it into Fortnite. Over the years, data miners have uncovered potential skins that ultimately never saw the light of day. One of the most famous examples is Samus Aran from the Metroid series.
During Fortnite’s Hunters season, which featured a surge of Gaming Legends skins, Epic Games reportedly approached Nintendo about bringing Samus into the game. However, Nintendo ultimately declined after learning that Samus would need to be playable across all platforms rather than being exclusive to the Nintendo Switch. As a result, the collaboration never materialized.
