Fortnite has a new IShowSpeed outfit, and this one is dressed for the island's pirate season. Epic Games revealed Pirate Speedy yesterday at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT, describing the streamer as someone who has "travelled all over the world" and now has "an anime style." An hour later, at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT, the official account followed with a short gameplay video of the outfit. Check out the official posts down below:
What Pirate Speedy Looks Like
Pirate Speedy gives IShowSpeed a drawn, anime-inspired look with an open red shirt, a red sash, green rolled-up pants and sandals, with a gold coin worn on his back. The video shows him on the deck of a pirate ship and running around the island, including a flip emote, a jump onto the roof of a car and a scene where he stands next to his original Fortnite outfit, which wears a red jersey and green shorts.
The outfit's in-game description is "GIVE IT TO ME!" and it is part of the IShowSpeed set, which already includes the streamer's earlier Icon Series outfits. The item was briefly listed as Pirate D. Speedy before it went on sale under the name Pirate Speedy.
Item Shop Prices
The new items arrived in the Item Shop when it reset yesterday at 7 PM ET, and they are listed to leave the shop when it resets on November 20 at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT. Here is how everything is priced:
- Pirate Speedy outfit with Speed's Coin back bling: 1,500 V-Bucks
- Speed's Coin back bling ("Good luck gold piece"): 500 V-Bucks
- Speed's Pirate Blade pickaxe ("Conquer the seas"): 800 V-Bucks
- IShowFlip emote ("Minus the mousetrap"): 400 V-Bucks
- Pirate Speedy bundle with all 4 items: 1,800 V-Bucks, down from 2,700 V-Bucks if bought separately

Part Of The Treasure Hunters Mini-Season
Pirate Speedy is the latest addition to Treasure Hunters, the pirate-themed mini-season that began on November 1. The mini-season brings One Piece powers to the island, a rotating lineup of weekly captains that includes the Straw Hats, A$AP Rocky, Lil Uzi Vert, Cap'n Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto, and a mega chest tied to Captain X. Its Battle Pass includes Portgas D. Ace and Nico Robin, as well as anime-style looks for Jonesy, Cuddle Team Leader and Charlotte. The collaboration itself is covered in Fortnite Officially Confirms One Piece Collab For Its Treasure Hunters Mini-Season.
The Item Shop has been adding pirate-themed outfits throughout the month. Monkey D. Luffy, Nami and Usopp arrived first, followed by Roronoa Zoro, Sanji and Tony Tony Chopper on November 7, Buggy on November 13, and Cap'n Hatsune Miku today. Treasure Hunters also has Captain's Days on November 1, 8, 12, 15 and 22 at 9 AM ET, with the next one set for tomorrow.
