The Simpsons Invades Fortnite With Four Disney Plus Mini Episodes to Decode the Crossover

The Simpsons just crash-landed in Fortnite, and it is exactly as chaotic as you think. The first of four crossover shorts is up now on Disney Plus, and Epic has gone all-in by turning Fortnite into Springfield Island. Yes, Moe's is a landmark. Yes, Krusty Burger is open. And yes, the Power Plant looms over it all like a glowing reminder that this town should not be in charge of anything.

What you need to know

• The rollout: Four Simpsons x Fortnite narrative shorts are dropping weekly, one every Monday throughout November, and they stream on Disney Plus.
• The in-game tie-in: Fortnite's new seasonal event re-skins the Island as Springfield Island, complete with Moe's Tavern, Krusty Burger, and the Power Plant to explore.
• The couch gag: A new gag from the latest Simpsons season rides shotgun with the crossover. Fortnite's Peely shows up and promptly gets turned into a banana split for the family to eat. A promo clip highlighting it hit on November 3, 2025.

Episode 1: Apocalypse D'oh

Short one is called 'Apocalypse D'oh', and it wastes zero time. Kang and Kodos run into Fortnite's trio of Jonesy, Hope, and Fishstick. True to his name, Fishstick immediately gets zapped into actual fish sticks. The encounter spins everyone into a wormhole along with a fragment of a Zero Point Shard — Fortnite's reality-gluing MacGuffin that previously popped up during the Marvel crossover.

From there, they argue about where to aim the exit: Springfield? The Fortnite Island? The answer, naturally, is both. Even the ship's assistant calls out the cross-brand chaos with a line that is almost too honest for television:

"Multiple realities have merged in a cynical brand mash-up."

That shard eventually lands at 742 Evergreen Terrace, where it falls into the hands of a certain Sector 7G veteran. With a TV remote as his conduit, Homer starts warping reality like he is fast-forwarding through commercials — which is somehow the most Homer way possible to wield cosmic power. Battle Buses and Victory Royales, meet donut-fueled wish fulfillment.

How this fits into Fortnite's larger crossover habit

This is not Fortnite's first big team-up and it definitely will not be the last. DC Comics and Fortnite did a six-issue comic event back in 2021, and earlier in 2025 the game went heavy on Star Wars with the Galactic Battle event. So, yes, Springfield muscling into your loadout screen was kind of inevitable.

Bottom line: new Simpsons short every Monday in November on Disney Plus, Springfield Island live in Fortnite right now, and a couch gag that turns Peely into dessert. It is silly, it is self-aware, and it is exactly the kind of meta mash-up both brands know you will click on.
