Epic Games is adding Gem Sprites to Fortnite in Chapter 7 Season 3 on August 6. Multiple reports say the update brings nine different Gem Sprite variants that appear across the island in all regions. Players can obtain them by finding Gem Sprites in “Sprite Chests,” which are described as special chests placed around the map.
According to one source, the Gem Sprites come with powers for players, and the collection includes nine confirmed variants. Another report highlights a specific gameplay benefit: reduced fall damage while using or having the Gem Sprites. That same source also describes the accompanying “Sprite Day” event, which runs as part of the release and includes boosted spawn rates and friendly trading to help players collect different variants.
Taken together, the coverage indicates a scheduled release tied to the Chapter 7 Season 3 launch date, a nine-sprite collection accessible through Sprite Chests, and at least one confirmed benefit—reduced fall damage—along with event features intended to support collection and trading.
