Overview
- Epic Games rolled out the New Sprite Day update on July 23, with Cube Sprite variants spawning in matches starting at about 9 a.m. ET.
- Each Cube Sprite grants the Overdrive effect while a player is in the Storm, giving unlimited stamina, a large speed boost, faster firing rates, and quicker reloads.
- The extremely rare Pollo Sprite, previously obtainable only through player trades, has been added to random chests so it can now appear in normal loot drops.
- Sources differ on the exact count of additions: dataminer reports and ComicBook.com list eight new Cube designs while Vice reports nine new Sprites and a running total of 91 overall, reflecting staggered leaks and counting differences.
- Epic’s weekly New Sprite Day cadence and timed events like Shiny Power Hour remain in place through the season, and two leaked variants (Gem and Quack) are still unreleased ahead of the season finale.
