With the confirmation of the Rocket League event for August, which features car cosmetics that will crossover to Fortnite, players were certain that the skin would finally make it to the game this month, and leaks made it clear that the rumors would soon become a reality.

Alternatively, players can purchase the Deadmau5 Bundle for 2,600 V-Bucks, and it includes all of the items mentioned above as well as the deadmau5 on Tour loading screen.
Players who want to own even more Deadmau5 cosmetics in Fortnite will have to complete the deadmau5 event in Rocket League and transfer their items over to Fortnite. Additionally, there are also some Rocket Racing items that players can purchase in the Item Shop:

When Is Deadmau5 Leaving the Fortnite Item Shop?
The deadmau5 cosmetic set will remain available in the Item Shop until August 15 at 8 PM ET. After this, these items will eventually return, as they will rotate in and out of the shop like any other skin. However, it is impossible to know exactly when; it could take mere days or it could be over a year before it makes a comeback.
