American singer Olivia Rodrigo has been added to the Fortnite video game as a non-playable character (NPC). <\/p>\n

The 23-year-old, who released her third studio album You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love earlier this month, will also see an outfit based on her 2021 debut album Sour and a Lover Girl outfit based on her latest record added to the game’s shop until July 25. <\/p>\n

Rodrigo said: “I’ve always loved how Fortnite brings people together in a really specific way, it’s exciting to have my music brought into this world and to have players embrace different looks from my albums.” <\/p>\n

She will enter the game at 1am on Friday as an NPC in the game’s Battle Royale mode, while emotes based on her songs Good 4 U and Maggots For Brains will also be added to the shop along with three of her songs as “Jam Tracks” in Maggots For Brains, Drop Dead and Deja Vu. <\/p>\n
