The Cybertruck is coming to Fortnite, so let’s hope it’s better at off-roading there
Fortnite is no stranger to real-world crossovers, and the Tesla Cybertruck‘s arrival to the game on Tuesday is just the latest.
Epic Games teased the collaboration on Sunday with just the image of a tire tread and a cutoff Cybertruck logo. Then the studio released a small trailer on Monday with Fishstick successfully towing other in-game vehicles.
There’s not a lot of information right now about if there’s more to the Cybertruck addition than just a vehicle. Renowned leaker iFireMonkey said that a Cybertruck bundle was coming to Fortnite, and that it would include two outfits and some bling. We’ll have to see when it releases.
The Cybertruck has not exactly lived up to the marketing hype in the real world, with a litany of horror stories and errors hanging over its release.

According to MotorTrend, it had promised off-roading features that weren’t active months after launch (it looks like some were delivered just last month) and was missing the basics, like a spare tire. Multiple videos were posted online showing these problems in action, including <a href=«https://twitter.com/DimaZeniuk/status/1716556240908681538?ref_src=» https: target="_blank" rel=«noopener»>footage of a model version
having problems turning on a light road.
It doesn’t live up to durability claims either, which seems important in a game like Fortnite. While you can apparently shoot an arrow at it and it’ll only leave a dent,
