READ MORE: The rise, fall and rebirth of 2000s IT room favourite ‘RuneScape’ Last year, Roan requested Epic Games make her a playable character in online multiplayer battle royale game Fortnite during an interview with the BBC. “Please give me a skin. Please,” she said. “If I want to have a really good night, I’ll just eat an edible and play video games,” Roan added. Advertisement Earlier this month, she became the latest headline act of Fortnite Festival, with a number of Chappell Roan skins, emotes and jam tracks added to the game. “When Chappell Roan asks for her own Fortnite outfit, we give her her own Fortnite outfit,” wrote Epic Games on X. In a new interview with Hot Ones, fellow pop star Madison Beer has also demanded Epic Games add her to Fortnite. During the episode, host Sean Evans played a game of “fuck, marry, kill” with video games Fall Guys, Fortnite and Dress To Impress. “Fall Guys feels like a very important one for me because I played it with my fans a lot when I was streaming a little bit randomly. That’s probably one I can’t take off but Fortnite I would marry. I love Fortnite,” said Beer. “They’ve changed it too much now though,” she continued before addressing the camera. “I’m a little bit upset with you Epic Games. Let’s speak really quickly, let’s get serious. Stop changing things that we love about Fortnite. Keep it original and give me a skin, please!” Recommended Following the release of her new album ‘Locket’ last month, Beer has confirmed details of a huge world tour. After a string of dates in Europe, Beer will head to the UK for shows at London’s O2 Arena and Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena. Tickets are available here. In other news, Chappell Roan recently revealed that she’s a huge fan of the soundtrack to online multiplayer game RuneScape. “It has video game sounds down. It’s really medieval synth shit.” Related TopicsChappell RoanFortniteMadison BeerPop You May Also Like Advertisement TRENDING The NME 100: essential emerging artists for 2026 Miriam Petche just set a new ‘Industry’ standard ‘Wuthering Heights’ review: this sexed-up reimagining is a bonking success Inside Swim Deep’s gorgeous new album ‘Hum’: “It feels like we’ve arrived at the conclusion of who we are” The rise, fall and rebirth of 2000s IT room favourite ‘RuneScape’ Advertisement More Stories Music News Bedding firm backs down on ‘Swift Home’ trademark after Taylor Swift appeal Music News Harry Styles to curate Meltdown Festival 2026 for London Southbank’s 75th year Music News Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show was found not to have violated any rules following investigation Music News Damon Albarn has a pop at having to play Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Gorillaz perform on ‘The Graham Norton Show’ Music News Taylor Swift announces Chris Lake EDM ‘Opalite’ remix inspired by “in-house house guy” Travis Kelce Music News Harry Styles says he felt “very alone’ after going solo post-One Direction break up
