Epic Games Welcomes Flakes Power To Icon Series With Electrifying Fortnite Bundle And Creative Maps

The Fortnite community is arguably one of the most creative in the industry and Epic Games honours those that have made and continue to make meaningful contributions to the game. With the popularity of Fortnite having grown exponentially since launching in 2017 – streaming platforms like YouTube and Twitch have allowed people to become household names within the community, sharing their stories and passion along the way. João ‘Flakes Power’ Sampaio became the latest inductee to the Icon Series on February 25th, 2023 with his unique brand of electrifying Brazilian energy on full display.

Players could purchase the Flakes Power Pack for 1,800 V-Bucks from the Item Shop which included the Flakes Power Outfit, Electro-Crest Back Bling, Electric Crescents Pickaxe, and Get Flakey Built-In Emote with each cosmetic sporting a Phantom Power Style. Additional cosmetics were obtainable by competing in the Super Flakes Cup – Flakes Tag Spray and Hello! Hello! Emoticon – provided eligible participates earned at least 8 points and 16 points respectively. The Fortnite Icon Series rotates through the Item Shop on a regular basis with all previously released content creators in attendance.

Sampaio currently has nearly 7 million subscribers on his YouTube channel and decided to become a full-time content creator in 2016 with Clash Royale before switching to Fortnite in 2018 with his streams garnering over 230,000 concurrent viewers – highest in Brazilian history. Epic Games will undoubtedly recognize more creators in the future as new talent begins to flourish with each passing chapter and season of gameplay. YouTube sensation MrBeast and Fortnite superstar SypherPK were among those to have been recently immortalized in the game – the latter being highly requested by fans.

Fortnite is available now on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One X, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 Pro, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, Windows PC, and Android devices – iOS compatibility is available through GeForce Now and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
