Summary
Fans ofFortniterecently expressed the desire to see Epic Games add a new feature to the battle royale’s Item Shop that would allow players to wishlist cosmetics they can’t purchase at the moment.Fortniteis currently wrapping up Chapter 6 Season 3, which features a major collaboration with James Gunn’s new filmSuperman.
The Item Shop is a big part of the popular battle royale, as the free-to-play title makes a lot of its money on microtransactions from players purchasingnew skins inFortnite. Both new and old cosmetics are constantly rotating in and out of the Item Shop. While it is possible to see when items will leave the shop, there is no way of knowing when (or if) they will return. Even when cosmetics do return, it’s easy for players to miss them if they don’t check the Item Shop on a daily basis.
In a recent post on Reddit, Mariolxl shared an image of a Tweet from x103p suggesting that Epic Games should add a new feature toFortnite’s Item Shopthat would allow players to wishlist any cosmetic. According to x103p, this could help Epic Games evaluate how much interest there is in seeing any given cosmetic return. They also suggested that players should be able to see how many people have wishlisted the item, granting fans new insight into how much the community likes certain cosmetics. Mariolxl asked other members of the community what they thought about the suggestion, and the response was generally positive.
