- The Fortnite Gift Card replaces traditional V-Bucks cards and is compatible with Fortnite and the Epic Games Store.
- You can redeem it for V-Bucks, Battle Pass, games, and more, with support for Shared Wallet on most platforms.
- Redeeming your first card unlocks the GHOST Monks Outfit, plus 20% Epic Rewards on purchases using Epic’s payment system.
Starting June 2025, Epic Games is rolling out the brand-new Fortnite Gift Card, a more versatile replacement for the older V-Bucks cards. This is a complete upgrade of the original formula of using cards to get V-Bucks. The new Gift Card can be used not only for in-game goodies like V-Bucks and the Crew pack, but also across Epic’s broader ecosystem — including full games, DLC, and even tools for creators. Also referred to as the Fortnite Wallet Card, this new format is set to streamline how players fund their Epic experience and more.
What is the Fortnite Gift Card?
The Fortnite Gift Card is a prepaid digital or physical card that adds funds directly to your Epic Games account balance. You can use this balance across all Epic-supported platforms for purchases in:
- Fortnite (V-Bucks, Battle Pass, Crew, skins, bundles)
- Epic Games Store (PC games, DLC, add-ons)
- fab.com content (for creators and UGC tools)
The cards will be available in $15, $30, $50, and $100 denominations across the store. Moreover, it will come with a custom option ranging from $15 to $150. This way, the new card gives players flexible options when loading their Fortnite or Epic wallet balance.
Most importantly, the Fortnite Gift Card will replace traditional V-Bucks cards over time. During the rollout, which starts in June 2025, both cards may co-exist on store shelves. But eventually, the Wallet Card will become the standard across the U.S., U.K., Europe, and other expanding regions.
How to Use a Fortnite Gift Card
Despite being a multi-functional way of loading up your Epic Games wallet, redeeming a Fortnite Gift Card is simple and fast. Here is how to do it:
- Scan the QR code on the back of the card or visit the redemption website.
- Log in to your Epic account.
- Enter the code printed on the card.
- Click the Redeem button.
Once redeemed, your Epic Wallet balance can be spent on V-Bucks (for Fortnite cosmetics), Battle Pass, or Crew subscriptions. Apart from the Fortnite purchase, the gift cards will let you purchase full games or DLC from the Epic Games Store and in-game content for supported titles.
If you’re playing on platforms like PlayStation, Xbox, PC, or mobile, your purchases will sync across devices thanks to the Fortnite Shared Wallet feature. Fortnite on Nintendo devices does not support Shared Wallet. V-Bucks purchased via your balance won’t appear there, but items bought from the web or another supported platform will be visible in your locker.
Fortnite Gift Card Availability
Fortnite Gift Cards will be released to different regions starting in June 2025, with the following countries first in line. And starting July 1, 2025, the cards will also be available at select online retailers in the regions listed below, making it even easier to grab one digitally:
- Austria

Physical card availability will vary depending on the retailer and region, with the local store stocking them a bit later. More countries are expected to get the Fortnite Gift Card in Fall 2025 and beyond, as per Epic Games’ announcement.
Get Bonus Rewards and the GHOST Monks Skin
Epic Games is sweetening the deal with two big bonuses if you are early to use the new cards to fill your wallet. You can unlock the exclusive GHOST Monks Outfit for the first time you redeem a Fortnite Gift Card to your Epic account. The offer is available until Dec 31, 2026.
Moreover, every purchase made with your balance in Fortnite, Rocket League, or Fall Guys (on Epic’s payment systems) gives you 20% back in Epic Rewards. This also applies to most Epic Games Store purchases until Aug 31, 2025. Later, you can cash in the Epic Rewards in the store for games, in-game items, and more.
Fortnite Gift Card vs. V-Bucks Card: Final Thoughts
While V-Bucks cards were limited to Fortnite currency, the new gift card is a more flexible option. It works across Fortnite and the Epic Games Store. This makes it more useful in the long term. As V-Bucks cards slowly phase out, the Fortnite Gift Card is the future. Regions that never had V-Bucks cards will now get access to the gift card for the first time.
The new Fortnite Gift Card is more than a new name, as it adds flexibility to your Epic wallet. It’s a powerful upgrade to how players can fund their Fortnite adventures and Epic Games purchases. With easier use, wider compatibility, and extra bonuses like the GHOST Monks Outfit and Epic Rewards, this new system is a no-brainer for anyone deep in the Fortnite ecosystem.
