Fortnite GeForce Bundle – Everything you need to know about the ‘Counterattack’ NVIDIA set and how to get it
NVIDIA GeForce and Epic Games have officially partnered up to release an all-new in-game cosmetic bundle with V-Bucks. Here’s everything you need to know.
Epic Games have been known to offer exclusive bundles for various partnerships, including the popular Twitch Prime ones, throughout 2018, and it has now been confirmed that an NVIDIA GeForce one is next in line.
The announcement of a GeForce bundle is an exciting one – not least because of how good it looks in the images – but nothing had been confirmed until November 29.
“If Victory Royale is your mission, the GeForce Fortnite Bundle is just for you,” reads an announcement on NVIDIA’s website. “For a limited time, when you upgrade your weaponry with a GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, 1070, or 1060 graphics card, you’ll receive 2000 V-Bucks and the male Fortnite Counterattack Set. Enjoy the ultimate Battle Royale experience with GeForce GTX graphics and be the last one standing.”

“NEW SKINS! @EpicGames & @NVIDIA were nice enough to give me these Skins,” said the popular streamer on Twitter along with a video of them. “Will be offered for a limited time starting November 29th with the purchase of certain GTX cards.”
