Fortnite’s Sabrina Carpenter Espresso emote returning with much-requested change
Epic Games have confirmed that the ‘Caffeinated’ Sabrina Carpenter emote is set to return toFortnitein an upcoming update, this time using the original version of Espresso.
It seemed almost inevitable that Sabrina Carpenter would appear in Fortnite eventually, after the pop superstar dominated most of 2024 with a number-one album and a series of chart-conquering songs.
However, when the collaboration finally came, many fans were left disappointed. While her biggest hit, Espresso, was available in its most well-known form as a Jam Track, the Caffeinated emote used the sped-up ‘Double Shot’ remix.
After plenty ofbacklash from Fortnite players and Carpenter fans alike, theemote was later removed. Now, the devs have confirmed that it’s due to return with the original version of the song.
“We are updating the Caffeinated Emote to play the originally intended audio of Espresso in the upcoming v32.00 build,” they said in an X post. “It will automatically update in everyone’s locker if purchased, and will return to the Item Shop shortly after release.”
The v32.00 update is set to be the start ofChapter 2 Remixand the end of Chapter 5 Season 4, which drops on Saturday, August 10, 2025, according to the current Battle Pass timer.
