How to Redeem Fortnite VBucks Gift Card on Xbox

Hey everyone. I’m Jhon, and in this article, I’ll tell you how to redeem a Fortnite VBucks gift card on your Xbox.

Giving someone a Fortnite VBucks gift card is easy, but the process to redeem that gift card and apply those Fortnite VBucks to your account is a headache.

If the gift card you got contains a generic Epic Games code and not an Xbox-specific code, you’ll have to jump through some hoops. But don’t worry.

In this article, I’ve got you covered, and will show you how to redeem a Fortnite VBucks gift card on your Xbox so you can load up your digital wallet and start shopping.

Steps to Redeem a Fortnite VBucks Gift Card on Xbox

Now let’s walk through the steps to redeem a Fortnite VBucks gift card on Xbox.

Step 1.

Open your Web browser and navigate to Fortnite.com/VBucksCard.

Step 2.

Click “Sign In” and then log into the Epic Games account associated with the Fortnite account you want to add Fortnite VBucks to. If the Fortnite account you want to apply your VBucks gift card to doesn’t have an associated Epic Games account, you’ll need to create one before you can move forward.

You can do this by clicking “Get Started,” choosing the platform you use to sign in to your Epic Games account, and then continuing through the process to create your account. I’ll also link to my article below that will show you how to create an Epic Games account.

Step 3.

After you sign in with your Epic Games account, you’ll still want to click “Get Started” on this page. You’ll land on a page that tells you to enter the PIN code from your Fortnite gift card.

Step 4.

Scratch off the PIN-code on your Fortnite VBucks gift card, enter the code in the Enter Your Code field on the website, and then click “Next.” Another field is displayed asking where you want to use your Fortnite VBucks.

Step 5.

Click the drop-down and then choose what device you primarily play Fortnite on. In this example, I’ll choose Xbox. Click “Next.” The next screen shows you an overview of where you’ll redeem your Fortnite VBucks, what account the VBucks will be redeemed for, and the amount of VBucks you’re redeeming.

Step 6.

Click “Confirm.” Be aware that this screen won’t disappear, which is confusing. But don’t worry.

A code you can redeem on your Xbox has been emailed to you. Don’t panic if you don’t see the code initially, as it took roughly 15 minutes for my code to land in my email inbox. When it does, the email will look like this and the code will appear here.

However, if you’d prefer not to wait and you want your code immediately, you can navigate to EpicGames.com, click the name of your account at the top of the screen to open a drop-down menu, and then click “Account.” The General Settings screen is shown.

Click “Transactions” in the menu on the left side of the screen, and then click the “Purchase History” drop-down on the right side of the screen. Click “VBucks Card Redemption History” in the drop-down menu.

The VBucks Card Redemption History screen is shown, listing all of the Fortnite VBucks gift cards you’ve redeemed for this account. Find the VBucks Card Code associated with the gift card you just redeemed.

The Secondary Code field next to that is the code you want to write down so you can redeem it on your Xbox.

Step 7.

Navigate to your Xbox home screen, and then press the “Xbox” button on your controller to bring up a menu.

Step 8.

Navigate to the bottom of the menu and then select the “Store” icon. The Microsoft Store is displayed.

Step 9.

Expand the menu on the left side of the screen, and then click “Redeem” in the menu. The Redeem Your Code or Gift Card screen is displayed.

Step 10.

Enter the secondary code you copied down in the field, and then click “Next.” A screen is displayed that shows you what this code will give you. In this case, it will apply Fortnite VBucks.

Click “Confirm.” A message appears letting you know that you’re good to go and that your Fortnite VBucks have been applied to your account.

Now, the next time you launch Fortnite on your Xbox, you’ll see your Fortnite VBucks gift card applied to your account.
