With the launch of Fortnite on the Switch 2, Epic Games is offering players a chance to claim a free Wishing Star emote when they log into the game before March 31, 2026.
Nintendo enthusiasts have eagerly anticipated the Switch 2 since its announcement, especially with the exciting lineup scheduled for its release, including Fortnite.
The new Switch 2 version promises substantial enhancements over the original, boasting improvements in resolution, frame rate, visuals, and overall performance. While the player-favorite mode Save the World will not be available, modes like Replay Mode and others will be part of the package.

Highlights include:
- Switch 2 players receive a Wishing Star emote free until March 31, 2026.
- Improvements in resolution and gameplay experience.
- While Save the World won’t be offered, Replay Mode and other features are available!
June 5 is gathering momentum as an exciting launch date for Fortnite players, promising a fresh way to experience the game with all its offerings.
