Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 is set to introduce a new set of “Holofoil” Sprites. Multiple reports say the release date is July 9, 2026, with details varying by region in terms of exact go-live time. The Holofoil Sprites are described as rare companion items that sit above the existing Galaxy Sprites in the game’s rarity hierarchy. Players are expected to be able to obtain them through regular Sprite-related gameplay, including hunting around the same locations where their base Sprite counterparts appear. Sources also point to Sprite Chests and weekend Power events as key opportunities to find these companions. One source also attributes a gameplay benefit to the Holofoil Sprites: when obtained, they increase the chance of finding rare Sprites by 5% for the entire squad. The reports also frame the Holofoil rollout as part of the broader Chapter 7 Season 3 update, with a focus on release timing, where they spawn, and what powers or squad-wide effects they provide.
