Once you have redeemed your V-Bucks card, the V-Bucks will be added to your Epic Games account, which can then be used to make purchases in Fortnite on your Nintendo Switch.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What if I try to redeem my V-Bucks card and get an error that says it’s invalid? If you try to redeem your V-Bucks card and get an error that says it’s invalid, check that you’re entering the code correctly.

  4. Did everyone get free V-Bucks? Epic Games does not offer free V-Bucks as a reward for following or sharing social media accounts, completing surveys, or visiting websites. Any website or social media account claiming to offer free V-Bucks through these means is likely a scam and should be avoided.

  7. Why can’t I connect my Epic Games account to my Switch? This error message means that you are attempting to link a console account to an Epic account that already has another console of the same type linked to it.
