Holofoil update
Fortnite Holofoil Sprite update — new variants and collection tips
Coverage of the Holofoil Sprite update window — how the new shiny variants change collection targets and why checklist Full mode matters after July 9.
Fortnite Sprites Update Log (Chapter 7 Season 3)
This Fortnite Sprites update log tracks every collection-relevant patch in Chapter 7 Season 3. Use it when Google suggests an updated Fortnite sprite checklist — dates below explain why the tracker moved from 61 Core slots to 66 Full slots after Holofoil shipped.
Content on this page last verified July 10, 2026. Epic can hot-fix loot pools mid-week; after each drop, re-open the home checklist, skim abilities for new passives, and refresh variants if extended colors go live.
Competitor counters still disagree (61 vs 66 vs higher leak totals). This site follows in-game released forms only — unreleased Gem/Cube/Quack and preview Sprites stay in the upcoming table, not the live checklist.
When did Holofoil Sprites release in Fortnite?
Holofoil began rolling out on July 9, 2026, with a Power Hour boost window around July 11.
Why did the sprite checklist count change?
Holofoil added extended variant cells on eligible bases, moving Full mode to 66 slots while Core stays at 61 (Normal–Galaxy).
Patch Timeline — June to July 2026
June 11 launched the Sprites system with Gummy variants, establishing the extract-and-Dust economy. June 18 broadened Galaxy availability so every Core base could roll the purple column. Together those patches created today’s four-variant Core matrix.
June 25 was the largest mid-season roster drop: Fishy, Aura, Striker, Boss, and Grim Reaper pushed the base count to 16. Grim Reaper arrived as a true Mythic chase (later confirmed Mythic, not Legendary) with attacker-mark utility that reshaped ability rankings.
July 9–11 introduced Holofoil and a Power Hour amplify window. Collectors who paused after Core 61 completion had a new reason to farm — and squads gained a variant that buffs rare finds for everyone nearby.
| Date | Update | Checklist impact | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-06-11 | Sprites system live + Gummy variants | Core loop + Gummy economy online | S |
| 2026-06-18 | Galaxy variants fully available | Four-variant Core matrix complete | S |
| 2026-06-25 | +5 Sprites: Fishy, Aura, Striker, Boss, Grim Reaper | Roster → 16 bases · Grim = Mythic | S+ |
| 2026-07-09 | Holofoil variants begin rolling out | Full checklist mode unlocks | S |
| 2026-07-11 | Holofoil Power Hour event window | Boosted Holofoil hunt rates | A |
| 2026-07-16 | Batman Sprite (expected) | New base — abilities TBD | A |
| 2026-07-23 | Seven / Air Sprite (unconfirmed) | Trail / mobility passives listed | B |
June 25 Roster Drop — Five New Sprites
The June 25 Fortnite Sprites update added five bases that still define mid-season loadouts. Boss Sprite (max HP/shield from Boss eliminations) became the easiest Legendary power spike. Striker tied unlocks to the Soccer Pitch POI. Aura brought Shock Rock charging. Fishy added swim and damage-speed tools. Grim Reaper capped the drop as the mark Mythic.
If your checklist still shows empty Normal cells for these five, prioritize them before Holofoil flex. Passives and tier notes live on the abilities guide; chest routes on the locations guide.
| Sprite | Rarity | Ability snapshot | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fishy Sprite | Rare | Swim speed + damage-speed boost | B |
| Aura Sprite | Epic | Shock Rock charge after damage | A |
| Striker Sprite | Epic | Overdrive on mantle/hurdle/scramble | A |
| Boss Sprite | Legendary | Max health & shield (Boss drops) | S |
| Grim Reaper Sprite | Mythic | Marks attackers on your map | S+ |

July Holofoil Update & Power Hour
The Holofoil Sprite update is the headline July change. Eligible bases receive a shiny extended variant that helps squads find rare Sprite variants in chests more often. Toggle Full mode on the checklist to track Holofoil cells separately from Galaxy.
Power Hour windows amplify Holofoil hunt rates — stack teammates who already carry Holofoil when possible. Solo players still benefit from the personal checklist slot even without the full squad aura.
For which bases currently have Holofoil columns and how they compare to Gold/Gummy/Galaxy, open the variants guide. For raw percentages on Core colors, use drop rates.
| Window | What happened | Player action | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| July 9 | Holofoil begins dropping (batch rollout) | Enable Full checklist mode | S |
| July 11 | Holofoil Power Hour | Stack squad Holofoil carriers | S |
| Ongoing | Eligible bases expand over time | Recheck wiki + checklist filters | A |

How do I update my Fortnite sprite checklist after Holofoil?
Use Full mode on the home checklist, enable the Holofoil filter, and tick new cells after each extract. Core mode still tracks the original 61 slots.
Upcoming Sprites & Variants
Predicted adds include Batman Sprite (~July 16), Seven and Air (~July 23, unconfirmed), and John Wick (TBD). Air’s listed kit (sprint, jump, no fall damage) would immediately matter for rotations; Seven’s foot-trail aura is squad intel.
Extended variants Gem, Cube, and Quack remain unreleased — do not invent checklist rows for them yet. Accidental leak drops are unstable and may be removed.
When a new base appears in your lobby gallery, extract a Normal ASAP, then update abilities notes. This log will mark the date once live confirmation lands.
| Entry | ETA | Notes | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Batman Sprite | 2026-07-16 | Ability TBD — watch patch notes | A |
| Seven Sprite | 2026-07-23* | Squad sees enemy foot trails | A |
| Air Sprite | 2026-07-23* | Faster sprint, higher jump, no fall damage | S |
| John Wick Sprite | TBD | Ability TBD | B |
| Gem / Cube / Quack variants | TBD | Extended variants — not live | — |
How to Stay Updated on the Checklist
After every Fortnite Sprites update, run a three-step refresh: (1) open the lobby Sprites tab and note new silhouettes, (2) extract at least one Normal of each new base, (3) tick cells on the home checklist and skim ability text on the wiki.
Mastery tracks and Dust prices sometimes shift with patches — re-read the mastery guide if re-summon costs look wrong. Extraction rules rarely change, but Portable Extractor pricing can — extraction guide.
Searching fortnite sprite checklist updated should land you on this log plus the live tracker. Bookmark both; the log explains *why* the count moved, the checklist records *what you own*.
