Epic Games have taken to their blog to announce that physical V-Bucks cards will be heading to retailers very soon!
Similar to gift cards for Sony and Microsoft, users can soon pick up physical V-Bucks cards for Fortnite giving players the choice to either buy in-game money both online and in-store. No specific retailers have been announced as of yet, but we can assume to see them popping up in stores such as GameStop, Target, and even Walmart.
Lastly, Epic Games did note that if you do pick up a physical V-Bucks card this Holiday season, players will receive a free exclusive gift. Select retailers in the US, United Kingdom, France, and Germany will include a gift code for an in-game Merry Mint Pickaxe free with any purchase of an officially licensed Fortnite product
