Almost three years after the first leak hinted at the Family Guy character coming to the game, Peter Griffin is now in Fortnite.
Some collabs just seem too ridiculous to ever happen, and Family Guy x Fortnite is one of them. But despite our reservations, Epic Games has done the unthinkable and brought Family Guy’s Peter Griffin to the Battle Royale.
Here’s how to unlock him, his two alternate styles, and all the other content from the popular adult animation.
How to Get Peter Griffin Skin
To get the Peter Griffin skin in Fortnite, players must purchase the Big Bang Battle Pass and reach level 70 in Chapter 5 Season 1. The skin will then be available to purchase for 9 Battle Stars.
Peter Griffin will be exclusive to the Chapter 5 Season 1 Battle Pass, and can therefore never return to the Fortnite Item Shop.
Epic Games could, in theory, release a variant of a Battle Pass skin, such as their Spider-Man Zero Outfit, but it is very unlikely that this will happen with Peter. After all, fans have been demanding the return of Rick Sanchez, Darth Vader, Carnage, and more for some time – all to no avail.
But why does Peter look a little different from his usual appearance?
Why Isn’t Peter Griffin Fat?
A very rude question, but one that’s pretty understandable. In Fortnite ‘lore,’ Peter Griffin isn’t fat as he drank Slurp Juice which expired in 2021.
This was shown in the Fortnite x Family Guy short below, in which Peter takes fitness advice from Meowscles.
In reality, Epic Games probably worried about the logistics of giving the Family Guy character too large a hitbox.
Although larger skins, such as Venom or Hulk, do exist in Fortnite, there may be fewer players willing to run around as a big, fat guy. Personally, we think Epic took the coward’s way out – give us regular Peter Griffin!
