Epic Games has announced that Fortnite players can now claim the GHOST Monks skin by redeeming one of the game's new gift cards, which will eventually replace V-Bucks cards. Fortnite is currently nearing the end of its Galactic Battle mini-season, which brought a wide variety of Star Wars characters, items, and locations to the island.
It was recently announced that gamers who plan on playing Fortnite on Nintendo Switch 2 will be able to claim an exclusive reward. The item is an emote called Wishing Star, and it appears to be a reference to the popular Nintendo character Kirby. Fans who wish to claim this reward will need to log into their Fortnite account on the Nintendo Switch 2 by March 31, 2026.
Fortnite on Switch 2 Will Add Major Feature This Weekend
Fortnite surprises players by announcing that it will add a major feature to Epic Games' popular battle royale on Nintendo Switch 2.
On its website, Epic Games announced that players will soon be able to purchase Fortnite gift cards, which are meant to eventually replace previous cards that only contained V-Bucks. In addition to launching the new way to purchase items in the game, Fortnite is giving players a free skin for redeeming one of these gift cards. The skin is called GHOST Monks, and it hasn't been seen in the popular battle royale until now. The outfit is something of a remix of the original Monks skin, giving the character a black and white makeover. It's worth noting that gamers will not be rewarded with the GHOST Monks skin for redeeming a V-Bucks card.
Fortnite Players Can Now Earn the Free Ghost Monks Skin
The promotion will run through the end of 2026, which gives players plenty of time to get their hands on it. While the skin seems to be somewhat exclusive for now, Epic Games did state that it may come to the Item Shop at some point after December 31, 2026. The new gift cards are designed to be more versatile than Fortnite's V-Bucks cards, as they allow gamers to purchase a variety of items. In addition to purchasing V-Bucks with the new gift cards, players can also spend their money buying the Fortnite Crew subscription or cosmetic packs. Gamers may also be happy to know that they can even use the gift cards to purchase games, add-ons, and DLC on the Epic Games Store.
Many players are eagerly awaiting the launch of Chapter 6 Season 3 of Fortnite, which some gamers believe will arrive shortly after the Star Wars live event on June 7. So far, leakers have suggested that the upcoming season will be superhero-themed and could even feature a collaboration with the upcoming film Superman, which is scheduled to release on July 11. With so much content to enjoy and even more just around the corner, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Fortnite.
