Are Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak joining Fortnite?

Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak of Silk Sonic have joined Fortnite. 

Epic Games said on Thursday that the duo’s music would be included on a new radio station for Fortnite and that fans of Silk Sonic — and its 70s vibes — will be able to dress their avatars in clothing inspired by them.

Fans of the group will be able to listen to songs from An Evening With Silk Sonic while riding in-game automobiles and tuning in to the game’s all-new Icon Radio with Bootsy Collins as the host.

This isn’t the first time Fortnite and Silk Sonic have worked together. 

When the pair were promoting their track, .Paak joined Fortniters for a digital concert in the game’s Spotlight Concert Series, while Mars introduced a Leave the Door Open emote.
