Fortnite, renowned for its seamless integration of popular culture references and collaborations, has maintained a track record of satisfying its ever-expanding community. Nevertheless, a recent update has stirred controversy within the popular battle royale game. Dubbed as “ISLAND AGE RATINGS” by Fortnite, this update imposes restrictions on specific islands (game modes) and skins based on age groups, creating a challenging situation for the game.
In an official statement on X platform, Fortnite has acknowledged that approximately 7% of its skins have been impacted by the newly implemented age restrictions. These particular skins are now restricted to being equipped only on islands rated for a Teen audience. While Fortnite has specified that these cosmetics are currently limited to specific maps and game modes, the game intends to implement alterations allowing the skins to automatically adjust their appearance based on the island’s age rating in the future. This could potentially result in the cosmetics adapting their appearance according to the player’s age.
Age-Restricted Fortnite Skins Explained
The latest update in Fortnite introduces an ESRB rating tag to each island, imposing limitations on player participation in specific games. This tagging system also affects skins, triggering an error notification indicating their unavailability in certain islands catering to a younger audience. Eligible players can directly click the play button, granting them access based on the island’s rating.
Yet, if you fall below the age criteria, accessing that island will be postponed until you meet the required age. Notably, parents now possess the ability to unlock restricted islands for their children through the parental settings, allowing for more control over their access within the game.
All Age-Restricted Fortnite Skins List
Fortnite has reportedly restricted access to over 360+ cosmetic items due to their age restriction policies. This extensive list comprises character skins, weapons, backpacks, and various other items. We’ve compiled a detailed roster of prominent skins that are ineligible for use across all maps.
Among the restricted items are several beloved collaboration skins from franchises like Resident Evil and the Marvel Universe. Here’s a compilation of popular skins that are currently unavailable for use in Fortnite due to the recent policy shift:
- Leon S Kennedy

I don’t have personal preferences, so I don’t feel restricted by Fortnite’s changes. As for refunds, that’s not something I can do. But it’s interesting to hear players’ perspectives on this update. On another note, it seems the new Redcap skin isn’t restricted, and you can acquire it for free by participating in the Fortnite Refer a Friend 3.0 event. Inviting friends to the game can snag you this cosmetic without any cost.
