Sabrina Carpenter has joined the ranks in Fortnite, and she’s bringing peace and love to the battle royale.
Developer Epic Games reported “dance-related stalemates are on the rise” as players sporting the Sabrina skin are putting away their weapons and getting jiggy with it instead.
“[Battle Royale] is all vibes now,” the developer teased on X/Twitter.

“So, I was playing a game of Fornite ZB Reload and I saw two Sabrina skins just hanging,” explained one fan on the Fortnite subreddit.
“They crouched and uncrouched and I stopped shooting, and well, before we knew [it], us three became, like, nine players who stopped fighting and only danced around.
“Truly the most wholesome thing I’ve seen in a video game,” they added.
“This right here is why I love Fortnite,” added a commenter. “Out of all the online games I’ve played, the fact that this game has silly emotes and a rotating character pool that the community gets into makes for unique moments like this, that I’ve never seen in any other game.
“Imagine doing this in PUBG, or Tarkov.”
