Good 4 u, Fortnite fans. Olivia Rodrigo has joined the game universe. As unveiled Thursday (June 25), the pop star has become the latest musician to be immortalized as an avatar, complete with two different outfits, a set of custom items and themed emotes.
Coming aboard as part of Fortnite‘s Icon series, Rodrigo is now giving players access to a pink “Lover Girl” dress that’s emblematic of her latest album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, as well as a blue cheerleader uniform with long black gloves modeled after her “Good 4 U” music video. Also part of the collection are a purple electric guitar covered with stickers, a blinged-out gasoline can, an “OR” mic stand and butterfly wings.
“I’ve always loved how Fortnite brings people together in a really specific way,” Rodrigo said in a statement about the partnership. “It’s exciting to have my music brought into this world and to have players embrace different looks from my albums.”
Players will also be able to enjoy two new emotes inspired by Rodrigo songs: “Good 4 U,” which features Emote mirror-breaking and flame effects, and “Maggots for Brains,” which spawns hearts and fairy dust effects. Plus, Fortnite has added her Billboard Hot 100-topping single “Drop Dead,” Sour hit “Deja Vu” and “Maggots” as Jam Tracks, and fans can catch her as a non-playable character (NPC) on Battle Royale Island as well.
The two-time Grammy winner’s side quest into the world of Fortnite comes as you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love rules at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, spending its opening week in the top spot after moving more than 485,000 equivalent album units in the United States. Those numbers mark Rodrigo’s biggest debut to date.
She follows a long history of musicians entering the Fortnite ring, with Eminem, Lady Gaga, The Weeknd, Ariana Grande and more all joining the Icon Series in previous years.
