To claim this reward, players must link their accounts by August 31, 2025, at 12 AM ET. The connection process requires signing into your Epic account and navigating to the Apps and Accounts section. For those needing assistance, Epic has provided a detailed guide on account eligibility.
Watch Star Wars Episodes Before Disney+ Release
In an unprecedented move, Epic Games is bringing Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld to Fortnite before its official Disney+ debut. Starting May 2, 2025, at 10 AM ET, players can access the Star Wars Watch Party island (code: 2124-6713-8076) to view the first two episodes featuring Asajj Ventress.
The Watch Party island will be available until May 11, 2025, giving players over a week to enjoy the content before and after its May 4 Disney+ release. As an added incentive, those who watch both episodes will receive the Asajj Ventress Loading Screen reward within 72 hours.
What else can you do on the Watch Party island?
Beyond watching episodes, the island features a Battle Arena where players can wield iconic Star Wars weapons like blasters and lightsabers against waves of enemies. A points system and leaderboard add competitive elements to the experience, encouraging multiple visits to the island.
GALACTIC BATTLE Season Launching May 2
Epic Games describes the upcoming Star Wars-themed Battle Royale Season, GALACTIC BATTLE, as "the biggest Star Wars collaboration ever in Fortnite." Launching on May 2, 2025, the same day as the Watch Party island, this season promises to bring the Star Wars universe to Fortnite in an unprecedented way.
Content creators should note that while they can participate in the Watch Party, streaming or posting VODs of the episodes online is not permitted due to licensing restrictions.
