Fortnite's Toy Story Crossover: Buzz Lightyear and Zurg Arrive in Epic New Update
  • Fortnite is set to host a Toy Story crossover, with early in-game teasers signaling an imminent collaboration and a first wave featuring Buzz Lightyear and Emperor Zurg as playable outfits.

  • Epic Games confirms the Toy Story drop lands on the next update window, though exact timing will hinge on the upcoming Item Shop reset.

  • Woody won’t be in the initial wave and is expected to join in a later release window, following the pattern of large IP crossovers.

  • Leaks are unofficial and subject to change, so readers should stay tuned for official updates as the release approaches.

  • Pricing guidance suggests Buzz and Zurg will fall in the 1,500 to 1,800 V-Bucks range, based on similar Epic/Disney skins.

  • Wave one aligns with Toy Story 5’s theatrical release and follows a bundle strategy that can be bought individually or as a complete set.

  • Cosmetics in the drop span Pickaxes, Back Blings, Emotes, a Glider, plus the Pizza Planet Truck as a drivable vehicle and Alien Sidekicks with a themed kick.

  • A potential Buzz vs Zurg Showdown Cup could offer limited-time access to cosmetics and possibly a Pizza Planet Car cosmetic.

  • Playable characters expected include Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Zurg, and an Alien cosmetic, with each skin around 1,500 V-Bucks and released via the Item Shop rather than the Battle Pass.

  • The full lineup may include two backblings, two pickaxes, two emotes, one glider, and Woody potentially arriving in a later wave.

  • Epic has a history of coordinating crossovers with film premieres, making a June 2026 window plausible for this Toy Story event.

  • More Toy Story characters are likely in future waves, with Woody’s appearance anticipated after the initial release.
