Few games have managed to transcend into pop culture quite like Epic Games’ Fortnite. It seems like almost every week or so you hear about some new property getting absorbed into its ongoing service or seeing it do some experiment with its format. The game has a presence over anything and everything, and is available everywhere, including Nintendo’s Switch. Epic and Nintendo have partnered for hardware deals in the past, and now they have done it again.

Today the official Nintendo of America Twitter account announced that there would be a new bundle of Fortnite-themed Joy-Cons coming later this year. The Fleet Force Bundle will include Blue and Yellow Joy-Cons with a banana face on the yellow one. Along with them you’ll also get 500 V-Bucks as well as a pair of cosmetic items that you can see pictured below.

Fornite is available on all major platforms with the exception of iOS. The Fleet Force Bundle will be available on June 4th.

Gear up in style with the Joy-Con Fortnite Fleet Force Bundle, available June 4! Includes a uniquely designed yellow Joy-Con and blue Joy-Con, 500 V-Bucks & a download code for in-game cosmetics.

And be sure to drop into the new @FortniteGame Season starting tomorrow, March 16! pic.twitter.com/QgCiVGy5iW

Apex Legends has been doing remarkably well. Not only does it have millions of players, but it has taken Twitch by storm too. And if you thought its flare up on the Twitch charts was just temporary, well it seems like you might have been wrong. Rather, the game seems to be moving from strength to strength.

Twitch tracker Gamoloco reports on Twitter that Apex Legends was viewed for a cumulative 8.4 million hours on February 12. This beats the previous recorded high of 7.2 million hours viewed on Twitch in a single day by Fortnite, during its Season 5 launch last year. Gamoloco attributes the incredible viewership on February 12 on Respawn’s “Twitch Rivals” event which was held on that day.

Assuming that Apex Legends maintains this kind of growth and popularity, we could actually see it being a legitimate threat—even if to a small degree—to Fortnite. It’s clear that EA’s decision to rely on it for this quarter was a good one, at any rate.

After you have read the infographic below, you won't be surprised to learn @PlayApex has recorded the best launch ever on @Twitch.#BattleRoyale #Viewerships #Impact pic.twitter.com/yJ7pQ3MDum
