Fortnite and Rocket League are gearing up for an electrifying crossover as Canadian DJ and producer Deadmau5 makes his grand entrance into the gaming world. Renowned for his signature mouse helmet and pulsating music, Deadmau5 is set to debut his own Icon Skin in Fortnite and spearhead a major Limited Time Event (LTE) in Rocket League, all in celebration of his upcoming EP, Error5, and Rocket League’s 10th anniversary. This multi-platform collaboration, announced today, promises to blend music and gaming in an unprecedented way.

Deadmau5 unveiled his Fortnite Icon Skin via X earlier today, with an official release date set for August 8, 2025. The skin features the DJ grooving on a virtual dance floor, surrounded by iconic Fortnite characters like Peely and Jonesy. This Icon Skin will be part of an expansive bundle, offering two alternative styles for Deadmau5—featuring the Feel the Beat music-reactive design, banamau5, and 5LURPMAU5 variants—alongside themed Back Bling, Emotes, and Instruments. This rich array of customization options allows players to immerse themselves fully in Deadmau5’s vibrant aesthetic within the battle royale.

In a parallel move, Deadmau5 is bringing his flair to Rocket League with a new LTE kicking off on August 5, 2025. This event highlights Rocket League’s decade-long legacy with a series of eye-catching car designs, including a standout vehicle adorned with Deadmau5’s mouse logo, complemented by dynamic trails and custom wheels. The event, running until August 20, 2025, will also feature the premiere of tracks from Error5, such as “8ths,” “What a Save,” “Patience,” and “Sixes,” ahead of the EP’s official release on August 8, 2025. This musical integration underscores Deadmau5’s deep connection to the game, which he has long admired as a fan.

These include the Decade Octane Decal, Icon Wheels, Brush Rush Decal, Headliner Avatar Border, Marble Topper, Bad Bass Trail, Rave Player Banner, 10th Birthday Wheel, and Synth-Sonic Boost, all available in Fortnite as well, enhancing cross-game synergy. The cosmetics showcase a range of designs, from the sleek Decade Octane Decal featuring a stylized mouse emblem to the vibrant Synth-Sonic Boost with its pulsating energy trails, reflecting Deadmau5’s eclectic style.
