It\u2019s likely the multi-platinum and Grammy award-winning artist will topple these figures. As always the event will be customized around the artist, so expect plenty of visuals similar to her in-person live shows, but amped up.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking on the announcement Ariana said: \u201cWorking with Epic and the Fortnite team to bring my music to life inside the game has been so fun and such an honour.\u201d Adding: \u201cI can\u2019t wait to join my fans and see all of your reactions to such an unforgettable, magical journey to new realities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the virtual performances, players can unlock unique customization items such as loading screens, emoticons, and sprays. In addition to this anyone that watches one of the Rift Tour concerts will receive the Cuddly Cloudcruiser Umbrella.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Crew-Rewards-700x394.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86995 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Crew-Rewards-700x394.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Crew-Rewards-577x324.jpeg 577w, https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Crew-Rewards-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Crew-Rewards-800x450.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Crew-Rewards.jpeg 900w\" sizes=\"auto\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/fortnites-rift-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2018The Rift Tour\u2019<\/a> will be a free event and the download for Fortnite itself is also totally free.
