Did you get a V-Bucks gift card recently? If you want to add the V-Bucks to your Fortnite account, you'll just need to log into the official Epic Games website. Make sure your account is linked to your console account if you play on a different platform. Here's how to redeem V-Bucks online for your PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PS4, or PS5.
