Bruno Mars is bringing some of his dance moves to popular battle royale game Fortnite in the form of an exclusive Icon Series Emote.

On Friday, it was announced Mars will get his very own emote in Fortnite, and players will be able to buy it through the game’s shop. The dance is set to his recent single “Leave the Door Open,” which was released as part of his Silk Sonic group with Anderson .Paak.

Bruno previewed the emote on his Instagram account, showing him dancing perfectly in time with the in-game version of the dance. “Yo @fortnite let ya uncle Brunz teach ya how to swang to this thang,” he wrote alongside the clip.

While this marks Bruno Mars’ debut in Fortnite, his Silk Sonic bandmate .Paak previously played a live concert during the Fortnite Party Royale event last September. J Balvin also did a special concert in the game shortly after, with a Halloween-themed performance in October.

Bruno isn’t the only celebrity to get his very own emote in the game, as there will be one inspired by professional gamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, too. The emotes are set to go live tonight (April 2) at 8 p.m. ET.
