Nintendo and Epic Games are teaming up to bring Fortnite to even more gamers on-the-go with a Nintendo Switch bundle that includes some special rewards for the popular battle royale game.
Fortnite is a free downloaded via the Switch eShop, and you won’t need the Switch Online service active on your account in order to play.
The “Double Helix” bundle includes a Nintendo Switch console and will include a namesake set of items. The Double Helix Set will include a custom-themed outfit, Back Bling, glider, and pickaxe for you in-game avatar. You also gat 1,000 V-bucks credited to your account when you activate this bundle. And as far as I can tell, these cosmetics are exclusive to the Switch bundle, at least for now.
It’s a bundle royale! A #NintendoSwitch #Fortnite bundle including special in-game items and 1,000 V-Bucks will make the jump into stores on 10/05. https://t.co/5049PRWbjr pic.twitter.com/qoraUQA5DO
