Epic Games is bringing the thrill of Disney and Pixar’s Cars to Fortnite, with Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater joining the game, according to leaker SamLeakss. The duo will be available in both Battle Royale and Rocket Racing modes, adding some high-speed action to the mix.
The Cars collaboration could greatly enhance Fortnite’s vehicle gameplay, bringing unique customization options, new racing mechanics, and more exciting racing experiences.
It’s also part of Disney’s $1.5 billion investment in Epic Games, which has already introduced The Incredibles, Disney Villains, and various Marvel characters. This partnership hints that more Disney properties could be making their way into Fortnite down the line.

Both characters will be available as vehicle skins, letting you transform your car into these beloved characters.

The Cars collaboration fits well with Fortnite’s Rocket Racing mode, especially since Lightning McQueen is already a fan-favorite in Rocket League, and Tow Mater will join both Fortnite and Rocket League at the same time.

While there’s no official release date yet, the collaboration is expected to launch “soon.” Given that previous leaks from SamLeakss have proven accurate (like the McLaren Senna prediction), this crossover seems highly likely. Get ready to experience Fortnite’s vehicle gameplay in a whole new way!
