Fortnite Refer-a-Friend Program Beta

Epic Games' program lets you earn points—and exclusive rewards—by playing with friends, racking up Battle Royale kills, or leveling accounts together. Visit the official program site for full point breakdowns.

The beta signup window is October 25 at 10 a.m. ET through November 14 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Pair up with friends and tackle tasks before January 10 to claim multiple in-game items.

Here's how to get started:

• Link your friend's Epic account via the program site.

• Complete collaborative challenges.
• Unlock rewards, including the Rainbow Runner outfit.

Friends qualify if they've played less than 120 minutes in core Battle Royale modes (Solo, Duos, Trios, Squads) over the last 30 days—including total beginners.
