Fortnite Sidekicks: Launch date, how to get pets, customization and more

Fortnite is introducing customizable animal companions called Sidekicks on November 1, 2025, coinciding with The Simpsons crossover. These pets will follow players across various modes, react to the environment, and can be interacted with via special emotes. The first Sidekick, Peels, will be in the Battle Pass, with Bonesy, Spike, and Lil’ Raptor arriving in the store shortly after.
