Is Gifting Coming To Fortnite Soon?

It looks like a gifting system could be dropping into Fortnite, according to a report from fortnitenews.com. leaked information about a possible gifting system surfaced yesterday, and it seems that the gift of giving might coincide with the launch of Season 7, just in time for Christmas.

If the gifting system is making its way to the game, it will supposedly require players to utilize two-factor authentication and be at least level two or higher. Additionally, there will apparently be restrictions of what items can be gifted, with V-Bucks, season battle passes, items not in the item shop, items from the personal lockers, and battle pass tier bundles all being restricted.

It also looks like gifting won’t be available on iOS, so some mobile players will unfortunately be missing out. “We have been sent anonymous information pertaining to the upcoming gifting system. You can read the information below,” comes the story on fortnitenews.com. “Unfortunately, the information does not include a possible release date, but if Epic are preparing information and announcements it's gotta be coming soon - possibly with Season 7's launch. The leaker said that "gifting is nearly done" and expecting it around Season 7 "sounds about right". Take this with a grain of salt as nothing is confirmed, but we have no reason to believe it's not true considering previous leaks with Gifting. We'll update you if we receive any more information.”

It also looks like the players will need to have been friends in Fortnite for more than two weeks, otherwise the gift will fail to go through, so make sure you’ve added all your friends now so you don’t have to wait later on. there are still a couple of weeks remaining in the current season, so there’s still time for Epic Games to either announce the system properly or make any changes.
