How to redeem Fortnite V-Bucks

Fortnite's in-game currency, V-Bucks, allows players to purchase everything desirable, from the Battle Pass to the various items in the Item Shop. Since 2018, V Bucks have remained a staple in Fortnite, making great gifts to loved ones or even yourself.

Are you looking to get the hot new skin on the market? You must acquire Fortnite V-Bucks and redeem them, but how? This article explains everything you need to know about redeeming V-Bucks.

So, you have a card to redeem Fortnite V-Bucks and want to know how to use them. First, you must ensure that you have an Epic Games account. This account is what you use when you log into Fortnite and play the game. It would be linked to a familiar email address with a password and, ideally, two-factor authentication enabled (2FA).

If that all sounds familiar, you can log in to your Epic Games account to redeem your Fortnite V-Bucks. Once you have reached your account, click the "Redeem Code" option at the bottom of the sidebar. On the following page, there is space to enter a code. However, if you have a Fortnite gift card (pictured above), click the link at the bottom of the "Redeem Code" page.

On the next page, you can locate the PIN code on the back of the Fortnite V-Bucks gift card. You can plug that code into the box, click 'Next,' and select your desired platform. Then, once you load into Fortnite, the balance should be reflected.
