Let’s use fortnite as an example as most people know what it is. So new pickaxes, skins, Emotes and other such items are added into the game by the developers before they are released to the public.
So a new skin that’s going to be released in the upcoming weeks can be added to the game much before then. We are just not able to see it. Data miners will go deep into the game files and find these skins. It’s similar to just opening up all your computer documents and just finding new documents that have been added to your computer. Basically anything new added to the game is usually in the game before it is released.
