Fortnite‘s 14 Days of Summer event is entering its second week, but there’s still plenty of time to complete its challenges and unlock some new summer-themed rewards. One of the trickier tasks of the bunch asks you to search Unicorn Floaties at swimming holes. If you don’t know where those are located, we’re here to point you in the right direction.
Where To Find Unicorn Floaties – All Locations
There are multiple swimming holes scattered around Fortnite’s map, but you only need to visit three of them in order to complete this challenge. You also don’t need to visit all three within a single match, although you may want to; a couple of them are located fairly close together, so you can take care of the challenge in one go.
We’ve found at least eight different swimming holes around the island; you can see their locations on the map below. As previously mentioned, you only need to visit three of these in order to clear the challenge, so for the sake of expediency, we recommend going to either the three northernmost or southernmost swimming holes, as they’re all bunched fairly close together. Here’s where you can find the unicorn floaties:
Hot spring northwest of Lazy Lagoon
Beneath the dock in Lazy Lagoon
Near the northeastern shore of Loot Lake
In the body of water north of Lonely Lodge
Small pond in the northern side of Dusty Divot
In the swimming pool in Paradise Palms
In the desert between Paradise Palms and Fatal Fields
In the water at the southern end of Fatal Fields
How To Complete The Unicorn Floaties Challenge
Once you know where to go, completing the challenge should be fairly straightforward. Simply locate the aforementioned unicorn floaties, and when you approach, you’ll see a prompt to “Search” them. Interact with the pool toys and you’ll be another step closer to completing the task. The floaties themselves are fairly small (certainly much smaller than the beach balls you have to bounce for a different 14 Days of Summer challenge), but they should be easy enough to spot once you’re in the right area.
Search three different unicorn floaties and you’ll be done with challenge. Your reward this time is a good one: the Neon Tropics wrap, which can be applied to weapons and vehicles in the game. You can take a look at the wrap, as well as screenshots of some of the floaties, below. If you need more help finding them, we walk you through where three of the floaties are located in the video at the top of this guide.
There will be 14 different 14 Days of Summer challenges in total, and if you manage to complete all of them before the event ends, you’ll unlock a special smoothie back bling for your troubles. You can see the full list of challenges below, along with links to our other guides. Despite the event’s name, you’ll have until July 16 to complete all of the challenges.

We’re just two weeks out from Amazon Prime Day 2019, which means a tidal wave of deals has been sighted in the ocean and is heading straight for your computing device. A light sprinkling of early Prime Day deals are already available, but the majority of the savings will begin once the annual sale kicks off on Monday, July 15.
Nearly three decades after Gremlins 2 hit theaters, the franchise about the little creatures known as Mogwai is ready for a comeback. It’s not being rebooted, though. Instead, an animated Gremlins prequel series is in the works for the upcoming WarnerMedia streaming service.
Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai is set in the 1920s and features a young Mr. Wing–who was introduced in the first movie–as he meets the Mogwai we all know as Gizmo. A series description reads, “Along with a teenage street thief named Elle, Sam and Gizmo take a perilous journey through the Chinese countryside, encountering, and sometimes battling, colorful monsters and spirits from Chinese folklore. On their quest to return Gizmo to his family and uncover a legendary treasure, they are pursued by a power-hungry industrialist and his growing army of evil Gremlins.”
In a press release, it’s noted the series will consist of 10 half-hour episodes, with no indication of whether that will simply be for the first season or if it’s the entire show. No casting has been announced yet, but the series comes from writer Tze Chun (Gotham) and a long list of producers with credits that include The Americans, the upcoming Animaniacs reboot, Teen Titans Go!, and Coraline, among other titles.
Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai joins a growing roster of shows that are set for the upcoming WarnerMedia service. The other notable project is Dune: The Sisterhood, which will have a pilot directed by Denis Villeneuve, the writer and director behind the upcoming Dune film reboot.
There’s currently no announced launch date for the new service or a premiere date for any of its upcoming programs.
As part of a newly-announced partnership between Rockstar Games and Twitch, Amazon Prime subscribers will be rewarded with exclusive bonuses and deals for Grand Theft Auto V Online and Red Dead Redemption 2 Online, starting right now. All you need to do in order to collect the rewards is link your Twitch Prime account with your Rockstar Games Social Club membership, and you’re good to go. The immediate rewards include the following:
Grand Theft Auto Online
GTA$1,250,000
Bonus GTA$ on all purchases of Shark Cash Cards
Red Dead Online
Supposedly this is only the beginning, as Twitch promises that this will be one of their “longest-running offers to date,” with more exclusive goodies and discounts available for Rockstar games in the coming months, although no details are yet available on what else that might entail.
The announcement of Rockstar and Twitch’s new partnership comes right on the tail of Twitch announcing its plans to celebrate Amazon Prime Day, which is coming up on July 15-16. In addition to everything from Rockstar, Prime subscribers will also receive exclusive skins for Apex Legends and other in-game items for 2K sports titles in the coming months. Twitch will also be hosting high-profile Apex Legends and FIFA 19 tournaments right before Prime Day, as well as running two, twelve-hour streams called “Twitch Sells Out,” in which popular streamers will sell gaming products that are on sale for Prime Day in the style of home shopping television shows.
The NPD Group has published an updated list of this console generation’s best-selling games in the United States. With figures hovering around 110 million units shipped worldwide, it comes as no surprise that Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto V leads the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One lists. But the rest of the results are both curious and predictable.
Mat Piscatella, a video games industry analyst for The NPD Group, posted a series of tweets revealing the lists. There are a couple of things to note. First, the list is “life to date through May 2019.” Second, while the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One lists include digital and physical game sales, nine out of the 10 Nintendo Switch games–with the exception being Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle–don’t include digital sales.
On the predictable side, both Marvel’s Spider-Man and God of War from 2018 take up the sixth and eighth spots on PlayStation 4, with Marvel’s Spider-Man claiming the trophy of Sony’s best-selling console exclusive this generation. Rockstar’s magnum opus, Red Dead Redemption 2, finds itself in the second spot on PlayStation 4 and the fifth spot on the Xbox One. Though every game on the Nintendo Switch list is a console exclusive, Mario Kart 8 takes first place over both Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (second) and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (third).
What’s curious to me is, while Call of Duty is a successful franchise, five different entries–2017’s WWII (second), 2015’s Black Ops 3 (third), 2018’s Black Ops 4 (fourth), 2016’s Infinite Warfare (sixth), and 2014’s Advanced Warfare (ninth)–take up five spots on the Xbox One list. 2017’s NBA 2K18 sits in the ninth spot on PlayStation 4. DICE’s Star Wars Battlefront from 2015 occupies the eighth spot on Xbox One, and strangely, not a single console exclusive even lands on the list. Destiny 2 does come in at a solid tenth place on Xbox One though.
With Amazon Prime Day 2019 on the horizon, Prime subscribers are saving up for the biggest shopping event of the season, but one particular perk for Prime members will cost you nothing this month: Twitch Prime’s free PC games, which are available to claim now through July 31. And once you claim them, the games are yours to keep. July’s offering of games is very good (likely due to Prime Day); here’s a look at what’s available now.
—Yooka-Laylee is a Banjo-Kazooie-inspired platformer where you hunt for collectibles, solve puzzles, defeat enemies, and more, all while playing as Yooka the chameleon and Laylee the bat. The duo is searching for “Pagies,” pages of their magical golden book that is stolen at the beginning of the game.
—Cultist Simulator is what it sounds like–a game where every action you take will influence others and possible generate a cult-like following. Gameplay-wise, Cultist Simulator is a roguelike narrative card game where the cards you play determine your actions, attributes, emotions, wealth, items, and more. With a 1920s-themed setting and plenty of secrets, Cultist Simulator has no tutorial–it’s best to just dive in and experience it for yourself.

—The Escapists is also free this month–the top-down strategy game places you in the role of a prisoner aiming to break out of various prisoner (there are six total, plus additional DLC prisons). The game is a sandbox experience, allowing you to get creative with how you plan your escape, whether that’s by digging a tunnel, organizing a riot, stealing a guard uniform, or some other clever tactic.
—For the King is a single-player or multiplayer RPG with turn-based combat that pulls from multiple genres, such as tabletop and roguelike adventure. The game begins with the death of the king, which inspires citizens of the kingdom (such as yourself) to rise up and oust enemies from their homeland. You can control your own party or partner with up to three people online, or you can set off on your own, fighting monsters, exploring new locations, braving the elements, and more.
As a reminder, to claim all these free games, loot, and services, you have to link your Amazon account to your Twitch account; that’ll unlock all of Twitch Prime’s benefits. It’s a great month to sign up for an Amazon Prime 30-day free trial if you’re not already a member, as Prime Day 2019 officially kicks off on July 15, and we’re expecting some great gaming and entertainment deals as in previous years. Plus, Twitch Prime is offering additional freebies and perks for members this month, including free Apex Legends skins and EA Sports content. After the 30-day trial, an annual Prime membership costs $119 a year (or $59 a year if you’re eligible for Prime Student).
Nintendo has announced the next in-game competition for Switch’s free battle royale-like Tetris game, Tetris 99. The fifth Maximus Cup kicks off next week, on July 12, and this time around, the event will be a collaboration with another first-party Switch game: Splatoon 2.
To commemorate Splatoon 2’s final Splatfest event, which takes place later this month, the next Maximus Cup will be themed after the colorful shooter. The event runs until 11:59 PM PT on July 15. Players who amass at least 100 event points during that time will unlock a special in-game Splatoon theme in Tetris 99.
Tetris 99 is free to download and play for everyone who has a Nintendo Switch Online membership. Subscriptions for the service are available for $4 USD per month, $8 USD for three months, and $20 USD for 12 months. Nintendo recently released a $10 Big Block DLC that adds two offline modes, so non-members can also play Tetris 99 (provided they purchase the DLC). However, you’ll still need a membership to take part in the game’s Maximus Cup events and to play against other players online.
Splatoon 2’s final Splatfest, meanwhile, kicks off the following week, on July 18. Fittingly, the final event features an apocalyptic theme, pitting Team Order vs. Team Chaos. The Splatfest will also last much longer than normal, running for 72 hours. During the first 48, each Shifty Station stage from previous Splatfests will return to the rotation, with a brand-new stage appearing during the final 24 hours. Following the Splatfest, Splatoon 2 will receive a 5.0 update in late July.
Tetris 99 surprise launched this past February and garnered attention for its novel battle royale-inspired take on the puzzle series, but it won’t be the only Tetris game of this kind for much longer. A 100-player Tetris game called Tetris Royale is in development for mobile devices. The game is slated to launch in beta form in “select territories” later this year and will feature leaderboards, as well as daily challenges and a solo Marathon mode.
