The Pac-Man Sidekick in Fortnite is now available in the Item Shop, letting players bring the classic arcade icon along as a companion during matches. Epic Games and Bandai Namco added Pac-Man as part of a wider crossover for Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4: Override, following the same treatment Epic gave the Spyro Sidekick earlier this season. The Pac-Man Sidekick is cosmetic only, so it will not help in fights, but it does follow the player around the island.
Here is the price, what the bundle includes, and how to get it before it leaves the shop.
How to Get the Pac-Man Sidekick in Fortnite
The Pac-Man Sidekick dropped on September 18, 2026, at 8 PM ET, with the Item Shop reset. It stays true to the character’s original arcade design: bright yellow, with brown gloves and red boots.
Players can buy the Sidekick on its own for 1,500 V-Bucks, or as part of the Pac-Man Bundle for 2,200 V-Bucks. To get it, follow these steps:
- Open Fortnite and go to the Item Shop.
- Find the Pac-Man section at the top of the shop.
- Select the Pac-Man Sidekick (1,500 V-Bucks) or the Pac-Man Bundle (2,200 V-Bucks).
- Hold the Purchase button until it fills.
- Wait for the confirmation that the item has been added to your locker.
- Open your locker, select the Pac-Man Sidekick, and equip it.
What’s in the Pac-Man Bundle
The Pac-Man Bundle includes six cosmetics with a combined individual value of 4,500 V-Bucks, sold together at a discount for 2,200 V-Bucks.
| Cosmetic | Type | Individual Price |
|---|---|---|
| Pac-Man Sidekick | Sidekick | 1,500 V-Bucks |
| Pac-Sneaks | Kicks | 1,000 V-Bucks |
| Pac-Man Back Bling | Back Bling | 500 V-Bucks |
| Pac-Man’s Snacks Back Bling | Back Bling | 400 V-Bucks |
| Pac-Man’s Gloves Pickaxe | Pickaxe | 800 V-Bucks |
| PAC-Brained Emote | Emote | 300 V-Bucks |
Buying the bundle is cheaper than buying all six items separately, though picking up just the Sidekick is cheaper if the other cosmetics don’t interest you.
Pac-Man Sidekick Points Rewards
Equipping the Pac-Man Sidekick and playing Battle Royale or Zero Build matches earns Sidekick Points, which unlock bonus rewards tied to the character.
| Cosmetic Name | Cosmetic Type |
|---|---|
| Waka Waka | Emoticon |
| Pac-Man Heart | Reaction |
| Pac-Man (Cel) | Style |
| Blue Dot Snack | Emote |
When Does the Pac-Man Sidekick Leave the Item Shop
The Pac-Man Sidekick is set to leave the Fortnite Item Shop on September 25, 2026, at 8 PM ET. Players who want it should purchase it before that window closes, since Item Shop cosmetics typically rotate out and are not guaranteed to return soon.
