When Does the January Crew Skin Release in Fortnite?

Gale Fortnite Crew Skin - 2

The January Crew Pack will be awarded to all Fortnite Crew members starting December 31 at 8 PM ET with the Item Shop reset. However, while players may receive it at this time, it can often take up to 72 hours to arrive in your locker, with many players not receiving the Crew Skin until January 1 in their region.

This will also be the same time that players receive their Crew Styles (Legacy Styles) for previously owned Crew Packs, though the style they receive will depend on how many months they have been a member of Fortnite Crew. As for the monthly 1,000 V-Bucks, those are only awarded on your next Fortnite Crew billing date.

Arriving December 31 at 8 PM ET for Fortnite Crew members is the Into the Maelstrom Fortnite Crew Pack, bringing with it a new outfit, Pickaxe, and Back Bling. On day one, players will be awarded Gale with both mask-on and mask-off styles, the Frostbound Exo-Spine Back Bling, along with the Slapshot Slashers dual-wield Pickaxe.

With each subsequent month, if players are a part of Fortnite Crew, they can also unlock a total of five Legacy Styles. Players do not need to stay subscribed for consecutive months to secure each Legacy Style, and if you miss a month, you can resume earning styles again once your Fortnite Crew membership is reactivated. Here is a breakdown of everything included with the January Crew Pack.
