The duo’s skin will include their signature 70s-inspired outfits, a new radio station of soul and R&B classics hosted by funk pioneer Bootsy Collins, and a player tournament.
The skins and accessories will be available at Fortnite’s Item Shop starting February 10, 2022, at 7 p.m. ET. For those who can’t wait to play the tournament, the Silk Sonic Cup is happening on Monday, February 7, when players will get a chance to unlock the Mars and Paak outfits early.
