Featuring Sabrina Carpenter in Fortnite was a noteworthy development, especially given her incredible success in 2024, highlighted by her chart-topping album and popular singles like Espresso.

Nonetheless, when the Caffeinated emote debuted, fans expressed their frustration regarding the use of the fast-paced Double Shot remix rather than the original song. This decision resulted in considerable backlash, with players sharing their disappointment on various social media platforms.

After a prolonged wait, Fortnite enthusiasts are finally going to experience the Espresso emote as it was meant to be heard. In an announcement on X (previously Twitter), Epic Games shared:

“We are updating the Caffeinated Emote to play the originally intended audio of Espresso in the upcoming v32.00 build.”
