Fortnite is one of the most financially successful games of the modern age, pulling in more than $5.8 billion in revenue in 2021. The wide range of licensed cosmetics and unique items for purchase has propelled Fortnite to incredible heights, and many of the game’s contemporaries have adopted the same free-to-play model to keep pace.

One way in which Fortnite makes its money is through its virtual currency, V-Bucks, which can be spent on seasonal Battle Passes, limited-time skins, and leveling items in Fortnite Battle Royale and Save the World. Though these V-Bucks can be purchased directly from the in-game store, physical gift cards are also available for retail, allowing players to grab packs like DC’s “Last Laugh Bundle” or Marvel’s “Royalty and Warriors Pack” without entering their details online.

This guide will show Fortnite fans how to make use of their gift cards to redeem items and V-Bucks on their account on Android, Switch, PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.

How to Sign in to Epic Games

Firstly, gift card owners must have an Epic Games account and access to a browser. Begin by visiting the official Epic Games website. From here, loopers will need to sign in to the account they wish to redeem the code on; they can do this easily by clicking on the icon in the top right and using their unique login for the platform they use.

For example, Nintendo Switch players can sign in with their Nintendo account, and Xbox and PlayStation players can do the same.

Once the player’s account is linked, they should ensure the username matches the one they play with by checking the top right icon again.

How to Redeem V-Bucks

Now, for players redeeming V-Bucks gift cards, they will need to visit the official Fortnite page, click their name in the top right, and scroll down to "Redeem V-Bucks." Here, click “Get Started” and scratch off the foil to reveal the PIN code on the rear of the card. Enter the code in the box, omitting the dashes, and click “Next.”

As V-Bucks are a platform-exclusive currency, not shared between consoles, players will need to select the device they want to redeem them on. Provided the details players entered matches with the account they play on, they should be able to select the correct device, as platforms with no linked account will be grayed out.

For Android, Switch, and PC users, the V-Bucks will now be available in their account to grab some new Fortnite skins upon restarting their game.

For Xbox and PlayStation users, after entering the code, they will be taken to a page with a 12 or 25-character code that will also be sent to the user’s linked email address. They can then enter this code on the Xbox or PlayStation Stores.

How to Redeem Exclusive Skins

Unlike with V-Bucks, skin bundles like “The Last Laugh” come with gift cards that function exclusively on their respective platforms. As such, players need only visit the Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch stores to redeem the exclusive Fortnite skins.

How to Redeem Platform-Exclusive Codes on Console and PC

On Nintendo Switch, select the Nintendo eShop from the “HOME” menu and choose the account used to play Fortnite. On the left side menu, select “Redeem Code” to enter the PIN and claim the goodies.

On PC, simply visit the official Epic Games site, sign in, and click "Redeem Code" under the username in the top right.

On PlayStation 4 and 5, visit the store on the left of the main menu and navigate to the ‘…’ icon in the top right, beside the basket. Scroll down to “Redeem Code” and enter the 15-character code provided by Epic to claim the V-Bucks or skins.

On Xbox One and Series X/S, press the ‘Xbox’ button on the controller to open the guide and select “Store.” Next, press the “View” button to open the side menu, and scroll down to “Redeem” to enter the 25-character code.

Fortnite is currently available for Android, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
