A long-speculated collaboration between Fortnite and Disney’s Toy Story franchise has reportedly leaked, preceding an official announcement. This new crossover further expands Epic Games’ existing partnerships with Disney properties.
This leak follows recent reports suggesting Disney’s potential interest in acquiring Epic Games. Disney already holds a significant stake in the game developer, having invested $1.5 billion in 2024 with the stated goal of creating “an all-new games and entertainment universe” to broaden the reach of its popular stories and experiences. The integration of Toy Story characters into Fortnite’s Battle Island aligns perfectly with this strategic vision.
The highly anticipated Toy Story crossover was reportedly revealed by ShiinaBR, a notably reliable source for Fortnite leaks on X. This source indicates that Buzz Lightyear and his adversary Zurg will appear as skins in a Showdown Cup, potentially re-using Fortnite’s established “vs.” event format (e.g., The Rock vs. Ice King). Should this be the case, these characters would initially be accessible via a “Buzz vs. Zurg Showdown Cup.” It’s also noteworthy that ShiinaBR’s profile includes “Partnered with Epic Games,” a detail that mirrors similar leaks, such as The Simpsons collaboration in October 2025 shortly before its official launch.
Showdown Cups typically offer early access to new cosmetic items before their general release in the Item Shop, suggesting Buzz and Zurg could later be purchased individually. Unlike the more extensive Simpsons leak, which hinted at a full map transformation akin to Springfield, this Toy Story leak implies a less pervasive integration. Earlier Fortnite rumors also pointed to the three-eyed Aliens from Toy Story potentially joining as “Sidekicks,” introducing a fresh method for collaborative content within the game (with hopes they won’t gain vehicle control).
It’s important to remember that these details remain unconfirmed. Despite ShiinaBR’s strong track record for accurate Fortnite leaks, players are advised to treat this information as speculative until an official announcement from Epic Games is made.
