Earlier this week, Epic Games even announced a new skin based on the DC superhero The Flash. Some players even had early access to the character, but this past weekend Flash became available for everyone to buy in the game's store.
This past Saturday the official Fortnite profile on Twitter informed players that now everyone can buy the skin of the iconic superhero. However, it wasn't just the character that arrived at the store, but also some items like a Speed Force lightning pickaxe, a new Speed Force back bling, and a "Quick Bite" emote that shows the hero taking a snack break.
Check out the tweet posted by the official Epic Games battle royale account:

How early access to The Flash came about
Earlier this week, Epic Games gave some players access to The Flash skin. The lucky ones who purchased The Flash in advance got this perk through the "Flash Cup", a Duos tournament that started on February 10th. The team with the highest score in each region would have the right to use Flash and its back bling in advance.
Launch and availability
In case you want the Flash skin to play Fortnite, it will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, PC and mobile platforms. It is interesting to note that in addition to this DC superhero skin, there are still those from Disney's Tron series.
