Epic Games is transitioning away from physical Fortnite V-Buck cards, introducing Epic Game Store gift cards instead. Starting this month in the U.S. and Europe, these cards will be usable for purchases in Fortnite and other Epic games, allowing more versatile spending. Buyers will receive a free skin, Monks, if they purchase a gift card before 2026. However, the cards must be redeemed on EGS, limiting their cross-platform availability. Players will also get a 20% cashback on purchases, despite some misalignment in card value with Fortnite's pricing structure, offering more versatile purchases in the ecosystem.
Epic Games is phasing out physical Fortnite V-Buck cards in favor of Epic Game Store gift cards that can be used across multiple titles.
This change is aimed at allowing Epic to sidestep paying a percentage to platform holders while still providing players with features like cashback on purchases.
With gift cards offering 20% cashback, players will find more value in their purchases compared to the previous V-Buck cards, despite some inconsistencies.
Players can use these gift cards on a variety of Epic games, not just Fortnite, enhancing their purchasing power and experience within the EGS ecosystem.
