Buckle up, because Epic Games just dropped some exciting news that’s sure to get your adrenaline pumping. After a long five-year hiatus, Epic’s mobile titles, including the beloved Fortnite, are making their grand return to iOS, and they’re coming back with a bang!
To celebrate this momentous occasion, Epic is rolling out an irresistible offer: a whopping 20% back in rewards on all purchases made in Fortnite, Rocket League, and Fall Guys using their very own payment system through the Epic Games Store (EGS). That’s a significant jump from the usual 5%, and the best part? This sweet deal is here to stay!
But wait, there’s more! This generous 20% cash back applies to every single purchase made through EGS until the end of August. So, if you’re eyeing that shiny new $70 game, you can score yourself a cool $14 in credit to splurge on anything in the Epic Games Store (excluding subscriptions, of course).
Now, you might be wondering why Epic is going all out with this deal. Well, it’s all about keeping those dollars in-house instead of letting Apple take a hefty slice of the pie. When you buy V-Bucks through the App Store, Apple nabs 30% of the cut. By offering 20% back in rewards for purchases made directly through Epic, they keep the full amount (minus standard transaction fees, of course). Plus, since you can only spend that rewards cash on the Epic Games Store, it’s a clever way to keep players engaged in their ecosystem.
So how does it work? When iOS users go to buy V-Bucks, they’ll see two options: one through the App Store and another through Epic’s payment system. If you choose Epic’s option, you’ll see exactly how much rewards cash you’ll earn. And here’s a nifty little detail: the Epic Rewards credit will hit your account two weeks after your purchase. Just remember, while you can earn that sweet cash back by subscribing to Fortnite Crew, you can’t use your rewards to pay for the subscription itself.
Now, a quick heads-up for our console warriors: this deal is exclusive to players on PC, mobile, or streaming. If you’re on PlayStation, Xbox, or Switch, yu won’t have the option to pay Epic directly for V-Bucks. But don’t sweat it! You can still head over to the Fortnite web shop to snag that 20% cash back.
And if you’re itching for something fresh, this is the perfect timing! Mace Windu is landing in the Fortnite item shop tonight—marking the first new Star Wars skin to drop during the ongoing Star Wars season. So grab your lightsaber and get ready to dive back into the action!
Happy gaming, and don’t forget to take advantage of those Epic Rewards while they last!
