Fortnite Winterfest 2022: How to get the Guff Gringle skin on console (PS4, Xbox, and more)

Guff Gringle is a free skin that players can obtain during Fortnite Winterfest 2022. It will be claimable until 9 AM Eastern Time on January 3, 2023. Additionally, it's one of the three free skins that players will be able to claim during the festive season. Despite Epic Games making the announcement through social media, not every player seems to have received the memo.

With this being the case, many are yet to claim the skin from the Fortnite item Shop. While PC users have an easier time obtaining freebies, console players may be slightly confused with the process. With that said, here's an easy step-by-step guide on how to claim this skin on all consoles.

How to claim Fortnite Winterfest 2022 Guff Gringle skin on all console devices

1) Start the game on any console device

The first step to getting the skin is fairly straightforward. Players will have to boot up their console and start the game. It should be noted that this cannot be done through the EGS (Epic Games Store), so fans need not bother going there.

Once the game boots up, before going to the Item Shop, take a short detour and visit the Cozy Lodge to unwrap presents for Fortnite Winterfest 2022. Once you're done, return to the main screen and navigate to the Item Shop.

In the Item Shop, look for a tab called "Special Offers and Bundles." It shouldn't be too difficult to spot as it's present on the extreme left hand side of the screen. Once you've found it, select the Guff Gringle skin.

If I can't use my console at the moment to claim the skin, how do I do it?

If you currently don't have access to your console, the next best option is to use GeForce Now. For players in the US, this service is free and can be used to access the game to claim the Guff Gringle skin during Fortnite Winterfest 2022. Here's a brief step-by-step explanation on how to do it:

1. Download Nvidia GeForce Now on any mobile device
2. Create a free account and link your Epic Games' account to it
3. Look for Fortnite in the library and press "Play"
4. Once in-game, follow the same steps mentioned above to claim the Guff Gringle skin

Note: The cross-progression feature is active in Fortnite. Players can claim the Guff Gringle skin using Nvidia GeForce Now and use it on their consoles later.

Will the skin come to the Item Shop after Fortnite Winterfest 2022 ends?

No, once Fortnite Winterfest 2022 comes to an end, the Guff Gringle skin will be vaulted. As per the official FAQ provided by Epic Games, there are no plans to add the skin to the Item Shop once the festive season ends.

For players who are unable to obtain it during Fortnite Winterfest 2022, there may not be a second chance to do so. Once vaulted, it's unlikely to be featured ever again. Nevertheless, there's still plenty of time left to claim the skin.
