New Game Files Indicate Fortnite’s In-Game Gifting System Could Soon be Released
The highly anticipated Gifting System could soon be released in Fortnite: Battle Royale.
Data miners have found information in game files indicating that players will soon be able to gift each other in-game items and possibly even V-Bucks.
Prominent Fortnite news and leaks outlet ‘FNBRLeaks‘ has released several screenshots of the various coding and text strings that involve the gifting system.

Epic Games first made mention of a possible Gifting System in a Fortnite Battle Royale State of Development V4 blog post back in February, when they said “If you’re feeling generous, we have a feature on the horizon just for you 😉“
However, there has been little additional information provided about it since then, as Epic has not even confirmed if and when it will be arriving.
This recent flurry of game files does indicate that a possible near-future release could be in the works, and it will be interesting to see how the system will work.
