Epic Shares How to Watch Disney D23 Showcase in Fortnite

Disney and Epic Games announced that people will be able to watch a portion of the D23 showcase in Fortnite. The part shown will involve reveals related to both Disney properties and the game. It will happen both as it airs on August 10, 2024, as well as be available on demand, and people who turn up will get a Wolverine-themed cosmetic called the Peelverine Plush Back Bling. 

How do I watch the Disney D23 Showcase in Fortnite?

There are basically two ways to watch a portion of the presentation while in-game. One is to do so live, as it happens, and the other is to catch up with it later after the fact. Depending on how you plan to tune in, the method to do so will probably change.

If you plan to watch the Disney D23 Showcase in Fortnite live, as it happens, then just open up the game. When you do, there will be a Discover menu icon in the Home Bar for Disney Horizons Live. This will first appear at 7:30pm PT/10:30pm ET on August 10, 2024, with the presentation beginning an hour later. So as long as you get there by 8:30pm PT/11:30pm PT, you’ll be fine. 

After it airs, you’ll be able to view the archive on-demand. To do so, your best bet is to enter the Fortnite Island Code 7908-6413-2516. This will take you to the Disney Horizons Live island. That will only be available until August 16, 2024.

How do I get the Peelverine Plush Back Bling in Fortnite?

Basically, you need to head to Disney Horizons Live to get this new cosmetic for free. Whether you watch it as it airs live or on-demand, you get it for free. The only catch is that you must stay at that island for a minimum of 10 minutes. (To be safe, I’d recommend waiting around there for 15.) If you do that, Epic Games will then send you the Peelverine Plush Back Bling in-game for free in September 2024.

If you miss the D3 2024 event, there will still be a method to get the Peelverine. Epic announced it may also sell it in the Fortnite Shop.

Fortnite is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, Windows PC, and mobile devices. Disney will air its usual D23 showcase on August 10, 2024.
