Unfortunately, there’s no way to change your character’s gender in Fortnite if you’re not willing to pay. You can keep starting new games, which will eventually give you such a character as you want, but you won’t have a choice until you start paying for skins.

Demographics: How many players in Fortnite are children?
While we don’t know the exact number of players, we do know a little more about the demographics involved. In 2018, 62.7% of Fortnite players were under the age of 24, with 22.5% between the ages of 25 and 34. The remainder were over the age of 35, placing particular weight on the games’ player base. Thus, we can say that a large part of the Fortnite player base is quite young.
A study by Verto Analytics has given players a much better insight into who makes up the Fortnite player count. In addition to the 62.7% between 18 and 24 years old, 22.5% are between 25 and 43 years old. Men are 72.4% of the player base, with only 27.6% being women. The demographics of Fortnite also seem to appeal to people who don’t play often. 37% of gamers don’t play games other than Fortnite. This probably contributes a lot to the average time spent in Fortnite.

In a typical PC/console game, around 60% of the female avatars you come across are played by a male player.
Among the major PC/console game genres, the gender ratio is approximately 74% male / 23% female / 3% non-binary gender. So, in a simplified example with a hypothetical game that only offers options for male and female characters:
- There would be 740 male players: 355 prefer male characters, 215 prefer female characters and the remaining 163 have no preference , so we’ll split them evenly (82 prefer male characters and 82 prefer female characters).
- There would be 230 female players: 175 prefer female characters, 21 prefer male characters and the remaining 25 have no preferences, so we’ll split them evenly (13 prefer male characters and 13 prefer female characters).
- There would be 30 non-binary gender players: 3 prefer male characters, 10 prefer female characters and we will split the remaining 17 equally (9 prefer male characters and 9 prefer female characters).
- In terms of characters, there would be a total of 483 male and 504 female characters, basically achieving gender parity (in the game).
- Of the 483 male characters, 34 (or 7%) are played by female gamers while 12 (or 2%) are played by non-binary female gamers.
- Of the 504 female characters, 297 (or 59%) are played by male players while 19 (4%) are played by non-binary players.
There are currently 350 million registered players of Fortnite
In 2017 Fortnite closed the year with 20 million registered players. The following year, this number increased more than sixfold to a staggering 125 million registered players. Next, we have 2019, with 250 million players. In 2020, the number rose to 300 million, and finally, at the end of last year, Fortnite reached its largest player base: 350 million registered players.
In terms of monthly Fortnite players, the number doesn’t top 350 million, but it’s just as impressive.
