The Dumb Ways to Die franchise, originally created by Melbourne’s Metro Trains as a public safety campaign over a decade ago, is expanding into Fortnite. Known for its darkly humorous depiction of cartoon beans meeting untimely ends due to careless actions, the franchise has grown from a series of public service announcements into mobile games and merchandise.
Starting October 22, 2025, at 6 PM ET, players who purchase Dumb Ways to Die on the Epic Games Store for mobile will unlock the Dumb Ways to Die Bundle in Fortnite. The bundle includes a green Bean Back Bling featuring arrows, and a Dumb Ways to Die Emote that incorporates the franchise’s signature jingle alongside a playful shuffle. For those who prefer, the bundle will also be available for direct purchase in the Fortnite Shop from October 22, 2025, at 8 PM ET until October 29, 2025, at 8 PM ET.
From Public Awareness Campaign to Mobile Games
Dumb Ways to Die first became a mobile game in 2013, offering a series of mini-games where players engage in increasingly dangerous and often absurd tasks. The gameplay maintains the franchise’s signature dark humor while providing a casual, mobile-friendly experience. The original game is now available on the Epic Games Store for mobile devices, giving players a chance to revisit the franchise’s early appeal while also gaining access to Fortnite content.
How the Fortnite Bundle Works
Players who purchase Dumb Ways to Die on the Epic Games Store for mobile must use the same Epic account linked to Fortnite to receive the bundle. Once purchased, the items will automatically appear in the Fortnite Locker. This applies across platforms, including PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC, as long as the Epic account is connected.
If a player has already purchased all or part of the Dumb Ways to Die Bundle in the Fortnite Shop, the game will compensate them with V-Bucks. Owning the full bundle results in a grant of 800 V-Bucks, while partially owned items purchased within 90 days will be converted into the corresponding V-Bucks amount alongside the remaining bundle items. Refunding the mobile game will remove the bundle from Fortnite if it was obtained through the purchase.
Playing Fortnite Across Platforms
Fortnite is available on multiple platforms. On PC, the game can be downloaded through the Epic Games Store. PlayStation and Xbox users can access the game through their respective stores, while Nintendo Switch players can use the Nintendo eShop. On mobile, Android users can access Fortnite via the Epic Games Store, as the game is blocked on Google Play.
In the United States, iPhone and iPad users can download Fortnite from the App Store. In the European Union, the game is available via the Epic Games Store on mobile or through AltStore PAL. Fortnite can also be played through cloud streaming services, including Xbox Cloud Gaming, NVIDIA GeForce NOW, and Amazon Luna.
