Reboot a Friend Beta: Get Rewarded for Bringing Friends Back to Fortnite

We’re starting up the Reboot a Friend Beta. Reboot a Friend gives you a chance to earn rewards for playing Fortnite with friends that haven’t played in a while! With Chapter 2 - Season 5 well underway, now’s a great chance to recruit eligible buddies to help with Quests and Bounties. 

How does Reboot a Friend work? Check our FAQ and rules.

Anyone can login to the Reboot a Friend website and check if they have friends ready to be rebooted. To be eligible for rewards, you must play one match with a successfully rebooted friend.
Check out the full Reboot a Friend Beta rules here.

The Reboot a Friend Beta is available from December 14, 2020 at 3 am ET through January 4, 2021 at 3 am ET.

Players invitees and selected friends can unlock rewards after playing games with rebooted friends. Rewards will be granted to your account within seven days. Both players receive the same awesome rewards after playing games together! See below.

To ensure a better experience for all players in the Reboot a Friend Beta, participation is limited to players who meet certain requirements: only friends who haven’t played Fortnite for 30 days or more can be rebooted.

We encourage you to play Fortnite with all of your friends, but for the purpose of this test, we’re limiting the program to one “rebooted” friend. If this changes we’ll let you know!

You and your friends unlocked the rewards? Awesome! The prizes will be issued to all winners within 7 days.

We’re still testing things out, but stay tuned for new updates for Reboot a Friend in the future!
