The Fortnite teaser was not a Minecraft Tokens crossover
A Fortnite teaser that some players read as a Minecraft crossover was a collaboration with the Roblox hit 99 Nights in the Forest, later listed in Epic's official Override season coverage. Minecraft Tokens are a separate PlayStation-only currency and cannot be converted to Minecoins.
# The Fortnite teaser was not a Minecraft Tokens crossover
A Fortnite teaser that some players read as a hint at a Minecraft crossover was pointing at something else: 99 Nights in the Forest, the Roblox hit. Epic has since listed that collaboration among the crossovers in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4: Override. Minecraft Tokens, which are a separate PlayStation-only currency, were not part of that reveal, and they cannot be converted to Minecoins.
## The teaser was for 99 Nights in the Forest
On August 12, 2026, Insider Gaming reported that a teaser for the then-upcoming Fortnite season had been widely read as a long-awaited Minecraft collaboration, but that the footage instead showed a crossover with 99 Nights in the Forest. In the clip, the site said, Peely is fishing when the deer from the Roblox game appears and walks down a hill toward him.
Insider Gaming also said a “SurviveTheNight” text string, which some players had tied to Minecraft, was instead a reference to 99 Nights in the Forest. At the time, the site said it was still unclear what the collaboration would include, such as cosmetics or an in-game boss.
Epic has since confirmed the crossover in official Override coverage. A Fortnite news post for Chapter 7 Season 4: Override lists 99 Nights in the Forest among items and outfits due in the Shop during the season, alongside names such as Pac-Man, Mega Man, Crash Bandicoot, and Kingdom Hearts. That official list is the confirmation that the collaboration is real. It is not a Minecraft crossover.
## Minecraft Tokens are a PlayStation-only currency
Minecraft Tokens are easy to mix up with Minecoins, but they are not the same thing, and they were not a piece of the Fortnite teaser.
Mojang’s help article “What are Minecraft Tokens?” says Tokens “are digital currency you buy with real money to purchase digital content in the Minecraft Store on PlayStation.” It adds that “Tokens are similar to Minecoins, but are only usable on PlayStation,” and that “Tokens cannot be converted into Minecoins or vice versa.”
The same article says non-exclusive content bought on other platforms’ Minecraft Marketplace can be used on PlayStation, and that non-exclusive content bought in the Minecraft Store on PlayStation can be used on other Bedrock platforms. The currencies themselves stay on their own rails.
## Nintendo Minecoins are now platform-locked
A separate Minecraft change, unrelated to Fortnite, has added more confusion around currency. In a Mojang article on Minecoins for Nintendo, the company said that as of October 27, 2026, “Minecoins purchased in Minecraft on a Nintendo device (Nintendo Switch or Switch 2) will be available to use only on those systems.” Minecoins bought on another device can no longer be spent on Nintendo devices.
Mojang also said previously owned Minecoins “are not changing.” Those balances “have been moved to a Legacy Wallet, and will continue to be usable across compatible platforms,” with no expiration date. Legacy Wallet coins are used first, before newer coins, which go into a separate Nintendo Wallet if they are bought on a Nintendo device.
Mojang warned that newer retail Minecoin cards “may no longer support Nintendo devices,” and that players should check the platforms listed on the packaging before buying or redeeming a card.
## What this does not mean
None of these currency rules is evidence of a Fortnite x Minecraft event. The teaser that prompted that reading has been identified as 99 Nights in the Forest, and Epic’s Override lineup includes that collaboration, not Minecraft. Tokens and Minecoins remain Minecraft store currencies, with the limits Mojang has published.
