Travis Scott teamed up with Fortnite for an in-game experience and the premiere of a new song. Because we're all home anyway, right?

The Grammy-nominated rapper will debut his new song "Astronomical" within the wildly popular online video game, Fortnite, for a series of concerts set to start Thursday. If you don't have it, you can download Fortnite free now. It's available on iOS, Android, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC and Mac.

The in-game waiting room opens 30 minutes prior. Multiple showings will happen throughout the day to accommodate demand.

"From April 23-25, blast off into a one of a kind musical journey featuring Travis Scott and the world premiere of a brand new track. Astronomical is an other-worldly experience inspired by Cactus Jack's creations, built from the ground up in Fortnite," an announcement on the game's site reads. "To make sure everyone has a chance to experience Astronomical, we're setting up multiple tour dates with showtimes for players around the globe. Jump into whichever time fits your schedule best, or catch an encore with your friends if they missed it."

Scott also joins the Fortnite Icon Series, a set of cosmetics made in collaboration with artists, musicians and content creators. His line debuts Tuesday and includes exclusive outfits and emotes.

“Get [Scott’s] Outfits, Emotes, and more starting April 21,” the announcement on the site read. “And if you attend any of the Astronomical events, you’ll score this Astroworld Cyclone Glider and two loading screens for free!”

Fans can visit Scott's page on the Fortnite site for updates and instructions on how to attend.

The new song will also be available in multiple formats on Scott's official site.

The concert kicks off Thursday at 7 p.m. EST/ Wednesday at 4:30 a.m. IST

The event will be repeated in the following dates/time:

  • Friday, April 24 at 10 a.m. EST
  • Saturday, April 25 at 12 a.m. EST
  • Saturday, April 25 at 11 a.m. EST
  • Saturday, April 25 at 6 p.m. EST

The game is also providing extra added incentives for players.

Astronomical Poster

Epic’s already getting players hyped for the festivities with some in-game challenges. The challenges mostly center around the area of the map that Epic added for the Astronomical concert. Completing each challenge will net players a cosmetic reward. All three of these challenges will be available to complete until April 26.

Here are all three of the challenges that are currently available for Travis Scott and Fortnite’s Astronomical event.

DANCE FOR 10 SECONDS ON THE DANCE FLOOR OF THE YACHT OR THE APRES SKI

The first challenge tasks players with heading out to The Yacht in the northeastern corner of the map or to the Apres Ski near Misty Meadows doing a dance for 10 seconds. When completing this challenge, players will get an Astrothunder loading screen.

BOUNCE OFF OF DIFFERENT GIANT ASTRO HEADS

This challenge asks players to go to the concert location, in the top left area of the map near Sweaty Sands to bounce on five giant heads. This challenge gives players with an Astro Antidote spray.

VISIT THE STAGE NORTH OF SWEATY SANDS

This challenge to head to the stage itself, also located in the top-left area north of Sweaty Sands. This challenge reward players with a Banner.

Travis Fortnite Skin

Travis Scott also revealed his new Fortnite skin, which should give gamers hours of fun in quarantine.

The Houston native appears shirtless, ripped and ready for action in the new skin, which Scott has roadtested himself. See below.

It’s all part of a partnership announced by Epic Games earlier this month that sees the “Sicko Mode” rapper added to the Icon Series for Fortnite.

Away from the games console, Scott is keeping busy with music. In December, he and his Cactus Jack squad scored a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with Jackboys, and he's assisted Jay Electronica on the track "The Blinding" and Migos for their single "Give No Fxk."

Last month, Scott updated his social media followers on his latest efforts in the studio, with a little help from his young daughter Stormi.
