How does Gifting work in Fortnite?

Gifting in Fortnite allows you to purchase in-game content with V-Bucks and send it to your friends!

Important things to remember:

  • 2FA must be enabled. For help, go here: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and how to enable it.

  • You must reach level 2 or higher.

  • The person you want to send a gift to must be on your Friends list for at least 2 days

  • Battle Pass gifting will be turned off towards the end of the season.

  • If the Battle Pass gift token is not sent by the end of the season, it will be converted to 950 Vbucks.

Can gifts be refunded?

  • All gifts are non-refundable.

  • To ensure you're sending a gift to the right friend, search for your friend using their Epic Games display name.

  • Gifting is limited to 5 gifts a day for every 24 hours, based on the time of the sent gift.

    • For example, if you send a gift at 9:00 PM, you get 1 gift reset and send another gift at 9:00 PM the next day.

What can’t be gifted?

  • You can’t gift the following:

    • Battle Passes using V-Bucks (only via real-money transactions)

    • Battle Pass Levels

    • V-Bucks

    • Real-money Offers (except Battle Pass)

    • Items that are not currently in the Item Shop

    • Some additional offers such as Battle Pass Level bundles, and Fortnite Crew.

    • Lego Fortnite battle pass

    • Festival Pass

    • Event Pass

    • Dynamically Priced Bundles where the receiving player already owns 1 or more Items.

What platforms is gifting available on?

  • Gifting is only available on:

    • Android

    • PC

    • PlayStation

    • Switch

    • Xbox

Why did I get an error when trying to send a gift?

  • You can send 5 gifts within 24 hours. The 24-hour cooldown limit will depend on when you send the gifts. This means if you send a gift at 9:00 PM, you get 1 gift reset at 9:00 PM the next day.

  • If you’re trying to gift an item to a player who already has that item.

  • If you’ve been friends with a player for less than 2 days.

Why is the price different if I purchase something as a gift?

  • The prices you see for your account might include discounts if you already own part of the content.

  • This discount might not apply when trying to purchase the same content as a gift for another account.

  • The Adjusted price will always be displayed based on who it is being gifted to.
