The Simpsons Join Fortnite: Springfield Map Now Available on Nintendo Switch and Other Platforms

The Simpsons have officially made their debut in Fortnite as part of an exciting crossover event, launching today on all available platforms including Nintendo Switch.

Developed by Epic Games, Fortnite continues its legacy of high-profile collaborations by bringing Springfield, the beloved home of The Simpsons, to life in a new map that pays homage to the iconic animated series.

Fortnite, a cultural phenomenon since its 2017 release, is renowned for introducing limited-time content through collaborations with major brands and entertainment franchises.

This partnership with The Simpsons represents one of Fortnite’s most ambitious experiences to date, blending the distinct humor and visual style of the classic animated series with Fortnite’s dynamic gameplay. The newly launched Springfield map is designed as a faithful recreation of the fictional town, capturing authentic landmarks and the show’s unique aesthetic.

Fans can expect to explore detailed renditions of the Kwik-E-Mart, Moe’s Tavern, and the Simpsons’ family home; all rendered with the vibrant, cartoonish style synonymous with Matt Groening’s celebrated creation.

A trailer released by Epic Games showcases these environments, generating significant excitement across social media and fueling anticipation among both Fortnite and The Simpsons communities. A spokesperson for Epic Games shared in a press release that, "Our team partnered closely with The Simpsons' creators to ensure Springfield would feel instantly recognizable to longtime fans, while providing fresh gameplay experiences for new and returning players." The statement highlights the effort taken to maintain authenticity, with collaborations between artists from both Epic Games and The Simpsons production team. Fortnite players on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC can access the Springfield map as part of a broader event rollout, which goes live today.

The crossover introduces not only the map but also special cosmetic items and emotes themed around The Simpsons universe.

Additionally, Epic Games teased ongoing content, including animated shorts tied into the event, with new episodes streaming weekly on DisneyPlus. This collaboration arrives at a time when Fortnite continues to top gaming charts, with the Nintendo Switch version remaining a fan favorite due to its portable flexibility.

The Simpsons’ crossover is expected to further drive player engagement and reinforce Epic Games’ status as a leader in the evolving world of online entertainment experiences.
