The GameStop stock situation took the world by storm earlier this year, as Reddit users caused the company’s stock price to skyrocket. This resulted in widespread mainstream media coverage, not to mention a never-ending parade of memes. Now Epic Games has taken theGameStop stock memesto the next level, adding a Diamond Hanz skin toFortnitebased on the “Stonks” meme character.
For 1,200 V-Bucks,Fortniteplayers can purchase the To the Moon set, which includes the Diamond Hanz skin. The skin was clearly added to the popular battle royale as an April Fools' Day joke, but unlike many other April Fools' Day jokes, this one is real. Anyone that’s interested in adding the Diamond Hanz skin to their collection ofFortniteskins should act fast, as it’s unlikely to remain in the game for very long.

Fortnite’s roster of skinshas grown exponentially since the game first launched a few years ago. Epic Games has added all kinds of meme skins, emotes based on meme dances, and more to the game’s expansive pool of cosmetics. And asFortnite’s popularity persists, fans can expect new cosmetic content to be added for years to come.
Besides meme skins,Fortnitehas plenty of completely original skins that players can choose from, plus skins based on other franchises. TheFortniteSeason 5 themewas built entirely around crossovers with other media franchises, and as a result,Fortniteadded a slew of skins based on those series. Everything fromAlientoThe Walking Deadwas represented inFortniteSeason 5, along with a number of video game series.
Notably,FortniteSeason 5 featured characters from PlayStation and Xbox exclusive franchises, allowing them to interact in ways that were never possible before. This includedKratos fromGod of Waras well as Master Chief fromHalo, and so it will be interesting to see what futureFortnitecrossover skins may have in store for the battle royale game.
Fortnite Season 6’s theme is Primal, though it’s already added its fair share of crossover skins as well. This includes skins based on DC Comics characters, as well asskins based on Lara Croft ofTomb Raiderfame. In the weeks ahead,Fortniteenthusiasts will likely be able to look forward to other skins that fit the Season 5 theme, though Epic Games has yet to provide exact details. For now,Fortniteenthusiasts can add the Stonk skin to their collection.
Fortniteis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
