The NBA is back fortnite once again with a new collaboration live now in the Battle Royale game to celebrate the league’s 75th season and upcoming NBA All-Star game. That means there’s a new NBA hub called “NBA 75 All-Star Hub” for players to explore as well as new and returning outfits to acquire. For the first time, de Fortnite players will also be able to vote from within the game to decide which emote will be added during this event.
Of all the new features, the voting emote is perhaps the biggest draw as it asks players to get involved in the event. To vote, you can head to NBA Lane in the NBA-themed hub where you’ll see a screen asking you to vote. Options for the new emote include three different celebrations, but only one will be added to the game.
Just in time for the NBA All-Star 2022, the @NBA joined Fortnite again ????

For those who want a new NBA outfit or missed out on some of the old ones that were available before, you’ll have the option to take care of that now. The old “In the Paint Set” is back with the uniforms of all 30 NBA teams along with two additional uniforms added this time. There is also another set specific to this event that is available for purchase.
“There are ten outfits in the NBA 75 set, each with three styles of a different color: default diamond, red, and gray,” Epic Games said. “Also display a holographic logo of one of the league’s 30 teams with the NBA Beacon Back Bling! You can change the team to represent in your locker.”
