Fortnite have announced that an official interactive Daft Punk collaboration is coming to the platform in the coming days.
As of Saturday (September 27), The Daft Punk Experience will provide an immersive world that will allow Fortnite players to be able to explore 31 songs from across the French duo’s catalogue, while there will also be custom outfits, all-night dance parties and opportunities to remix and mashup Daft Punk songs.
The experience will open to players at 2pm EST (7pm BST) on September 27, with a pre-event lobby beginning 30 minutes earlier. Players entering the Daft Punk Experience will be guided through a portal and greeted with a supercut from the 2007 ‘Alive’ tour.

— Is Daft Punk in Fortnite? (@DaftPunkinFort) September 22, 2025
It is far from the first time that Fortnite has entered a high-profile collaboration with a big name in music – last month, Gorillaz were announced as the next headliners of Fortnite Festival, while Sabrina Carpenter, Lady Gaga, The Weeknd and Bruno Mars have all entered the world of the game over the past two years.
Earlier this month, d4vd confirmed the release of the first official Fortnite anthem, ‘Locked & Loaded’. Speaking to NME about the relationship between music and gaming, d4vd said: “I love it because music and video games have been together for so long. I love video game soundtracks, the iconic sounds, the memes that come out of it too.
As for Daft Punk, it does not appear that they will be returning any time soon. In 2023, their collaborator Todd Edwards said that he believed the duo were “not on the same page anymore”.
“When they broke up, they were already going in different directions, musically,” he said. “Guy-Man[uel de Homem-Christo] seems to be drawn more to the hip-hop realm and Thomas [Bangalter] was also a director. It kind of felt like they weren’t on the same page anymore, anyway, so I wasn’t shocked.”
In the same year, Bangalter also said he was “relieved” over the way that the band ended, and said it “felt good” to draw the project to a close and be able to “look back and say, ok, we didn’t mess it up too much”.
Quinn, a session drummer for Daft Punk, also revealed last year that the duo are sitting on a lost album that would have served as the follow-up to 2013’s ‘Random Access Memories’.
Elsewhere, Emmanuel Macron used Daft Punk as an example in June of why he believed French electronic music should be awarded with UNESCO World Heritage status.
