While it's been leaked here and there it looks like the Fortnite Galaxy Cup has been officially announced. If you're an Android device owner, you can play in the tournament on July 25th and 26th to win an Outfit and Wrap before anyone else! It looks like both the Galaxy Scout and wrap that goes with it will be available in the Item Shop at a later date!

Prizes
Depending on where you are located, your required placement in the tournament will vary. It sounds like if you play in at least five games you will earn yourself the wrap.
