Epic Games rolled out its highly anticipated Fortnite July 30 update on Tuesday, adding 20 brand-new collectible sprites to the game across Battle Royale, Creative Mode, and Item Shop categories. These pixel-style cosmetic assets can be used to customize player profile banners, backpack charm displays, and in-game Creative billboards, marking the first time Epic has added a large batch of sprite collectibles since the start of Chapter 5 Season 3.
The full list of 20 sprites is split into three distinct groups, each with clear unlock requirements for players to target. First, the 7 Battle Progression Sprites are available completely free for all players with no V-Bucks purchase required. Standouts in this group include the Summer Peely Sprite, unlocked by completing 10 daily challenges between July 30 and August 13, the Rift Warden Sprite awarded for finishing 50 Battle Royale matches in any game mode, and the Omega Knight Sprite, which goes to players who reach Tier 100 of the current Chapter 5 Season 3 Battle Pass. The remaining 4 sprites in this group are tied to weekly challenge milestones, with one new sprite unlocking each week for the next four weeks for players who complete 70% of that week’s challenge set.
Next, 8 Item Shop Exclusive Sprites will be available for limited-time purchase alongside matching outfit bundles. These sprites cannot be earned through gameplay, and are only included as bonus items when players buy their corresponding outfit packs between July 30 and August 6. Top options in this set include the Sunny Bloom Sprite bundled with the Sunflower Sentinel skin, the Ghostly Glow Sprite paired with the Grim Reaper Junior skin, and the Neon Racer Sprite included with the Cyber Street Racer outfit pack. Epic has confirmed these sprites will not return to the Item Shop for at least six months, making them limited-edition collectibles for dedicated fans.
Finally, the remaining 5 sprites are Creative Mode exclusive, designed to reward players who engage with Fortnite’s user-generated content ecosystem. Unlock requirements for these sprites include playing 30 minutes across 10 different published Creative islands to earn the Block Builder Sprite, winning 3 official Creative minigame tournaments to get the Pixel Champion Sprite, and submitting an original Creative island to Epic’s monthly community showcase to unlock the rare Golden Builder Sprite. Epic also noted that 3 hidden secret sprites are included in the 20-count batch, with unlisted unlock conditions for players to discover. Community leakers have already confirmed one of these is the Rainbow Sprite, which unlocks when a player picks up three different shield potions in a single Battle Royale match.
To track your progress toward unlocking these sprites, head to the Locker tab from the main menu, then select the Sprites submenu to view all owned and unclaimed assets, with clickable prompts to view full unlock requirements for each locked sprite.

I’ve been grinding daily challenges all month, so I unlocked the Summer Peely Sprite the second the update dropped! It’s such a cute little pixel design, I already set it as my profile banner.
I accidentally unlocked the secret Rainbow Sprite last night! I was scrambling in the storm circle and grabbed three shield potions back to back, and the unlock notification popped up right as I got eliminated. Epic hid that one so well, I never would’ve guessed the requirement otherwise.
As someone who’s been making Creative islands for two years, I’m so excited about the Golden Builder Sprite. It’s nice to see Epic actually rewarding the Creative community for the content we make, instead of only focusing on Battle Royale rewards all the time.
I saved up 3,000 V-Bucks specifically for these Item Shop sprite bundles, I can’t wait to get the Neon Racer Sprite to match my main cyberpunk-themed outfit set. I’m glad they’re only available for a week, it makes them feel way more special to own.
