Fortnite reverses its controversial decision about one of the skins

Author : Nicholas Jan 05,2025

The iconic Master Chief, star of the Halo franchise and a popular Fortnite skin, recently returned to the item shop after a two-year hiatus, much to the delight of fans. However, a controversy quickly arose concerning the Matte Black style originally offered to Xbox Series S|X players.

Initially advertised as perpetually available, the sudden announcement of its removal sparked considerable backlash. Some players even threatened legal action, believing the change violated existing agreements.

Fortunately, Epic Games swiftly reversed course within 24 hours. The Matte Black style is now available to all Master Chief skin owners who play a single game on an Xbox Series S|X console.

This reversal appears to be the most sensible approach, particularly given the festive holiday season. The initial decision risked significantly souring the celebratory atmosphere for many players.
