The Spanish Twitch streamer Rubén El Rubius
Gundersen (34) will have his own skin series in Fortnite. It looks very good and will arrive in the shop on September 25. Starting September 21, it will be possible to earn it through a tournament. His “US doppelgänger” xQc jokingly says, “They put us in Fortnite.”
Who is he? Rubius is one of the biggest streamers on Twitch. The Spaniard has 15.2 million followers – that’s 3rd place worldwide, after Ninja and Ibai. The special thing is that Rubius is actually a YouTuber, where his channel has over 40 million subscribers. The 34-year-old is a giant in the Spanish-speaking community.
When Rubius streams on Twitch, he currently averages 130,000 viewers over the last 7 days – no one has more right now.
Rubius mostly streams in the Just Chatting category, but he also spent over 100 hours in Fortnite and Minecraft last year.
People like to joke: Rubius is the Spanish version of xQc, the German version would probably be Papaplatte:
Rubius will achieve immortality in Fortnite with a great skin series
This is now his skin series: Rubius announced in August that he is planning a collaboration with Fortnite. This weekend, his skin series was introduced as part of the “Icon” series.
It took two years to work on the skins. With the skin, players will be able to change the hair color between dark and blond – additionally, it will be possible to remove the sunglasses.
In addition, Rubius will get his cat, Wilson, as a backpack with additional features.
The streamer is excited about his representation in Fortnite; he says he never even dared to dream of something like this.
According to leakers, the package includes:
- The skin and the Lego style
- A back bling
- A pickaxe
- A wrap
- The emote
- A loading screen
Overall, the package is supposed to be available starting September 25 for 2,400 V-Bucks. There will also be a chance to earn the set starting September 21 in a special cup.
Who else is excited? The US streamer xQc has been having fun for years saying he looks quite similar to Rubius and passes as his “doppelgänger”.
In response to the news that Rubius is in Fortnite, xQc shouted (via twitter), “They put us in the game!”
Rubius had fun with this and replied, “We made it.” xQc and Rubius almost clashed when celebrity boxing was so popular on Twitch. They both considered whether they should maybe punch each other in the face in front of an audience: 1.5 million watch boxing on Twitch – Now xQc wants to beat someone up too
