Bruno Mars said, "When Fortnite asked me if I wanted to create an outfit for the game, I asked, 'Are CGI muscles off the table?' They said 'no.' I said 'deal.' I'll see you on the Island."

.Paak added, "When Fortnite agreed to give Bruno CGI muscles, I said, I’m in. He could use the help, so I support it. And it makes me cool. Win, win."

Silk Sonic's outfits will be available in Fortnite from 12am GMT on 11 February.
