Although the Galaxy skin has not yet been released, popular Fortnite streamer Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins was given a Note 9 several days in advance, and offered the first ever look at Fortnite gameplay with the new skin live on his stream.

Considering how rare and in-demand this skin is likely going to be, players will probably look to exploit their device to make the skin available on other Epic Games accounts.

However, both Samsung and Ninja have made it clear that having the skin on any accounts other than the one used on the pre-ordered device will not be possible.

Information has recently leaked out that points to it eventually being made available for purchase to all players.
