Please note that sending V-Bucks from your account to another player on a different account is not possible. Epic Games has implemented measures to prevent this as it could potentially give rise to unauthorized V-Bucks reselling or esports betting.

Now, we will explore the legitimate methods to give V-Bucks as gifts in Fortnite.

Different Ways to Purchase V-Bucks Online/Offline

You can easily find gift cards for various platforms at most supermarkets or big-box retailers. Simply scratch off the code on the back of the card and share it with your friend. They can then redeem it on the Epic Games website. Alternatively, if you prefer to shop from home, you can purchase gift cards from Amazon or other third-party websites that specialize in CD-Keys sales. Another option is to check the eShop of each platform to see if they offer gift card codes for sale.

Where to Purchase a Gift Card from the Platform’s eShop

  • PlayStation gamers can be delighted with a PlayStation Store gift card to satisfy their gaming needs.
  • To enjoy the Xbox experience, Xbox players will require none other than an Xbox Gift Card.
  • Switch players will need to acquire a Nintendo eShop gift card in order to proceed.
  • PC gamers don’t have a dedicated store to purchase Fortnite merchandise, but one option is to gift them a generic pre-paid Visa card that they can use for in-game currency.
  • For Android players, it is recommended to use a pre-paid credit card as the game on this platform also utilizes Epic’s launcher, similar to the PC version.

Buy an Item From the Fortnite Shop and Send It To a Friend

Instead of V-Bucks, you have the option to buy a cosmetic item or bundle from the Fortnite Item Shop and give it to a friend within the game. This can be considered the most convenient way to gift something in Fortnite without having to leave your home or even the game menu. However, there are a few limitations to consider and the gifting process requires some planning.

To Gift in-game Items follow these simple steps:

  1. Before making any purchases, ensure that you enable Two-Factor Authentication on your Fortnite/Epic Games account.
  2. Before sending a gift, it is necessary to add the friend to your Epic Game’s friend list. Additionally, the person must be your friend for a minimum of 48 hours.
  3. To gift a friend in Fortnite, you must first reach level 2. This requires playing around 1-2 lobbies to accumulate sufficient XP.
  4. Ensure that your Fortnite account is stocked with V-Bucks, and remember to purchase the desired item as a gift. You will find this option upon selecting any item in the Item Shop.
  5. Please be aware that each Fortnite account is restricted to a maximum of 5 gifts per day, so keep this limitation in mind while gifting generously.
  6. Please note that certain items in the Fortnite Item Shop can only be bought with real money, not V-Bucks. The price will be displayed in your local currency. However, these items cannot be given as gifts.

The rotation of items in the Fortnite Item Shop is rapid, often giving you only 24 hours to make a purchase before they vanish. Yet, the sought-after high-value items such as collaboration skins or exclusive bundles tend to remain available on the Item Shop for an extended period.
