Real data only

Everything comes from Epic, the live Item Shop or Fortnite's own game files.

A fan community

A forum, profiles, reputation and awards built for Fortnite players.

Free for everyone

Reading the site and using our API is free. No key, no paywall.

01 Who we are

9NTY is a Fortnite news, leaks and data website with its own community. We started as an X account (@9nty_official) posting the daily Item Shop, and grew into a full site with news, a leak tracker, cosmetic history, weapon stats, a forum and a free public API.

Our one rule above all others: we never make things up. If something isn't known yet, we say so.

02 What you'll find

NewsStories labelled official, datamined, unconfirmed or rumour, so you always know how sure we are. Item ShopToday's shop with prices, sections and how long each item stays. LeaksCosmetics found in the game files before they're released, and when they came out. Discovery radarA live record of what changes in Fortnite's data. Cosmetic lookupAny cosmetic's details and full Item Shop history. Weapons and spritesStats per rarity, straight from the game files. ForumTalk Fortnite with other players. Free APIThe same data as JSON for your own projects.

03 Where the data comes from

We use Epic's own sources (the Item Shop catalog, in-game news and status pages), Fortnite's game files read from our own copy of the game, and established Fortnite data services such as fortnite-api.com and fnbr.co. The full list, and what each source is used for, is on Data sources.

Leaks are not release dates. Something found in the game files can change, be delayed or never come out. Our Leak tracker shows when each one actually arrived.

04 The community
