All Released Fortnite Sidekicks (2026)

Fortnite Sidekicks are a new type of cosmetic companion that launched on November 1, 2025. These companions follow your character throughout matches in Battle Royale, LEGO Fortnite, and Fortnite Festival. The first Sidekick, called Peels, became available through the Battle Pass at launch.
Sidekicks serve a purely aesthetic purpose. They don't provide any gameplay advantages, can't take damage, and won't affect your performance in matches. You can interact with them using dedicated Sidekick Emotes, and they react to various in-game situations as you play.
Once you own a Sidekick, you can customize its appearance, outfits, and accessories to match your preferences. In this article, we'll explore all the released Sidekicks and how you can obtain them.
