Free Fortnite skins and emotes given away to Twitch Prime subscribers

Free Fortnite skins and emotes given away to Twitch Prime subscribers

Fans of colourful survival-wait-no-battle-royale game Fortnite are being given free character skins and other digital goodies if they link their Twitch and Epic accounts.

This is only applicable for those who subscribe to Twitch's premium Prime service. Per a post on Epic's site, those who decide to link the two will receive two exclusive outfits for the murder-em-up battle royale mode, as well as two characters for the save the world survive mode.

That's on top of four exclusive Twitch chat emotes.

It's unclear how long this promotion is going on for, but given the popularity of Epic's Fortnite, we wouldn't be surprised to see this continue for some time.

Twitch Prime is the streaming behemoth's premium service that sees bonus loot added each month for various games. Furthermore, you will not see ads on streams.

It's part of Amazon Prime in the UK at least, unsurprising given that the retail giant snapped Twitch up in 2014 for a cool $970m.
