How to redeem a Fortnite gift card

Fortnite’s V-Buck gift cards can be a bit complicated to redeem, but this list has all the steps for every platform and even links to the accounts.

From the Epic Games Store to the Xbox and PlayStation stores, there are multiple ways for Fortnite players to get V-Bucks. Going directly to the console of choice is the best way for players to get V-Bucks themselves. Yet, the best way to gift V-Bucks to someone is to buy them Fortnite V-Bucks gift cards.
