Fortnite has seen a number of popular dance moves in recent years, so it should come as no surprise that PSY’s Gangnam Style dance is now the game’s latest Emote! Epic Games announced the new addition on Twitter alongside a short video showing what it will look like when used in-game. Those keen to make their character dance to the 2012 international pop culture sensation can now grab the emote in the game’s Item Shop. Players will have to drop a cool 500 V-Bucks to get it for themselves, and it’s available now!
Epic Games’ official announcement can be found in the Tweet embedded below.

The reception of the announcement was pretty positive on social media, so Fortnite players can probably expect the emote to be used properly by this. Considering the huge role dancing has played in the game since its inception, the only real surprise is that it took so long for Gangnam Style to finally come into play! While the heat around the dance has diminished somewhat over the years, it remains a staple of weddings, dancing and more.
At the very least, the emote should prove to be a little less controversial than the recent Cyberdyne Salute emote. The official Fortnite website falsely told players that the Emote would be offered alongside the recent addition of the T-800 skin of Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The skin is meant to evoke the T-800’s final moments in the movie, and many players were apparently disappointed to find that it wasn’t actually offered alongside the skin. As a result, Epic Games announced that it would offer refunds for the skin to those interested. Fortunately, it looks like there won’t be any miscommunication this time!
Fortnite is currently available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC. You can check out all of our previous coverage of the game here.
