Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 — Override has introduced a new collectible system called Sprites, and Epic Games has added 11 new Sprites that reflect the season’s video game-focused theme.

The additions include high-profile crossovers such as Sonic, Tails and Shadow alongside returning Fortnite favorites like Jonsey and Klombo.

Fortnite is available on multiple platforms including Nintendo Switch, and these Sprites are usable across supported platforms.

Epic Games' official descriptions list 11 new Sprites for Season 4.

Not all Sprites may appear immediately for every player; early match reports indicate roughly half were encountered in opening matches.

Below is a clear, journalistic rundown of each new Sprite and the mechanics Epic Games has published.

- 8-Bit Sprite: Players who find an 8-Bit Shotgun in their first chest receive a score multiplier for that weapon.

- Adventure Sprite: At each Sprite level, a random item in the player’s inventory is upgraded.

- Bush Sprite: After a short duration the Sprite spawns a bush on the player; at maximum level it grants a bush on elimination.

- Crown Sprite: Winning a Victory Royale with this Sprite grants extra Crown Wins.

The Sprite can only be leveled up through match victories.

- Jackrabbit Sprite: Grants a second mid-air jump, effectively a double jump.

- Jonesy Sprite: After a brief delay following damage, the Sprite restores some health or shield.

- Killswitch Sprite: Improves accuracy during Hangtime, enhancing shot stability while airborne.

- Klombo Sprite: Klombo returns as a rare Sprite that grants random items at each level.

Players can level it up by using consumable items that restore Health or Shield.

- Shadow Sprite: Automatically reloads weapons over time, including weapons that are currently unequipped.

- Sonic Sprite: Epic Games notes the Sonic Sprite increases sprint speed, capturing Sonic’s trademark high-speed movement.

- Tails Sprite: Grants a hover ability, allowing players to glide briefly with Tails’ assistance.

These Sprite effects are taken from Epic Games’ season notes and provide a mix of passive benefits and active mobility or utility changes.

For Switch players, the Sprites are integrated into the same cross-platform progression as on other platforms and are visible in the in-game Sprite menus on the eShop-supported version of Fortnite.
