One of the world’s biggest virtual pop stars, singing synthesizer Hatsune Miku, is the Fortnite Festival Season 7 headliner. Here’s how to unlock everything Miku.

One of the most anticipated Fortnite collaborations for longtime netizens has finally hit the game: virtual musical artist Hatsune Miku is the headliner for Fortnite Festival Season 7. The Vocaloid superstar now has a skin, emotes, music packs, and more available in Fortnite.

Players can unlock a Hatsune Miku outfit, instruments, and more in the Music Pass. Like other Fortnite Passes, the Music Pass features both free and premium rewards. You can unlock free rewards just by playing the game, with additional rewards available if you purchase the pass for 1,400 V-Bucks (around $11).

Aside from the Music Pass version, a 3,200 V-Bucks pack is available, with nine items. This includes the Miku skin, which can also be purchased separately for 1,500 V-Bucks.

Rewards include the Shatter Sonic Guitar, four Jam Tracks (“Cherry Cordial,” “Dexting,” “First Person,” “Not Without a Fight”), and multiple Hatsune Miku outfits. This season, players will also find Britney Spears’ “Work Work” (the radio edit of “Work Bitch”); Cake’s “Short Skirt/Long Jacket,” and Jennifer Lopez’s “Love Don’t Cost A Thing” available as Jam Tracks.

Other Jam Tracks available individually include “Daisy 2.0” from Ashnikko, and “World Is Mine” from ryo (supercell), both featuring Hatsune Miku.

Starting life in 2007 as a piece of Japanese Vocaloid synthesizing software, Hatsune Miku has gone on to perform holographic concerts for massive audiences. Predating AI or the metaverse, Miku’s voice has been used to create over 100,000 unique songs as of 2011 alone. Her likeness has become iconic across the internet worldwide.

Hatsune Miku also fits right in with the Japanese theme of this season of Fortnite, which has also featured IPs from or influenced by the country, like Godzilla, Big Hero 6, and Cyberpunk 2077. If you want everything Miku that Fortnite has to offer, it’ll run you 4,600 V-Bucks, or around $37.

The virtual artist is a pretty big get for Fortnite’s Festival game mode, which has also featured such (real life) icons as The Weeknd, Lady Gaga, Metallica, Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg, and Karol G.
