Epic Games is exciting Fortnite players with the introduction of new gift cards that allow users to claim the exclusive GHOST Monks skin. This gift card system aims to eventually replace the existing V-Bucks cards, providing players with enhanced versatility in their purchases.
The announcement coincides with the closing of Fortnite’s Galactic Battle mini-season, which has featured a plethora of Star Wars characters, items, and locations. For players on Nintendo Switch 2, an exclusive reward is also available: the Wishing Star emote, reminiscent of the beloved Nintendo character Kirby.
To claim this emote, players must log into their Fortnite accounts on the Nintendo Switch 2 by March 31, 2026. In addition to the new gift cards, players will soon have greater options for how to spend their money in Fortnite.
The gift cards will not only enable the purchase of V-Bucks, but will also allow for the acquisition of Fortnite Crew subscriptions, cosmetic packs, and even games or downloadable content on the Epic Games Store. However, it is essential to note that the GHOST Monks skin cannot be obtained through V-Bucks cards.
The opportunity to earn the GHOST Monks skin will run until the end of 2026, providing players ample time to redeem their gifts. Despite its limited availability, Epic Games hinted that this skin might eventually appear in the Item Shop after December 31, 2026, giving players hope for future accessibility.
Looking ahead, anticipation is building for Chapter 6 Season 3 of Fortnite, which many players speculate will launch shortly after the Star Wars live event on June 7. Recent leaks suggest a superhero theme for the new season, with potential collaboration linked to the upcoming Superman film set for release on July 11.
With exciting content on the horizon, Fortnite fans are feeling optimistic about what’s next.
