Redeem the FREE Galaxy GLOW Fortnite Skin & Emote on your Samsung phone
For the last year Samsung & Epic Games have teamed up to promote an exclusive skin available on for the latest flagship Samsung phone. These have included the Galaxy Skin on the Note 9 and the iKONIK skin for the Galaxy S10 series.
With the release of the Samsung Galaxy Note10+, Samsung and Epic Games took a different approach and are offering many more Samsung owners a new exclusive skin. On Sep. 27th the iKONIK skin promo was replaced with the GLOW outfit & Levitate emote.
The brand new Galaxy GLOW outfit & Levitate Emote are now availabie in Fortnite! To redeem you need to purchase a qualifying device such as: Samsung Galaxy Note10, Note10+ or Note10+ 5G, S10e, S10, S10+ or S10 5G, Note9, S9, S9+, Note8, S8, S8+ or S8 Active, S7, S7 edge or S7 Active, Tab S6, Tab S4, Tab S3 or Tab S3 Wi-Fi, A9, A70, A80 or A90.
This is great news for so many more Samsung owners! The biggest unanswered question is what does, “purchase a qualifying device” actually mean? If you have a device on the list above there is a good chance you qualify! I have a Galaxy Tab S3 from a few years ago and it was able to redeem the new skin without issue. For those that have redeemed the iKONIK skin on the Galaxy S10, you also qualify for GLOW skin. Samsung has provided the following instructions to the redeem Galaxy GLOW. These steps can also be found in the video above.
1
Download and launch Fortnite from the Galaxy Store or Galaxy Game Launcher on your qualifying Samsung Galaxy device.
2
Sign in to your Epic Games account or sign up for a new Epic Games account.
3
Go to the Store. The Fortnite GLOW outfit should appear in the Store under Limited Time Offers. Tap on it. Make sure your store is set to Samsung in Settings > Account > Content > Android Store Selection. If the Android Store Selection does not appear in your Settings, and you successfully downloaded Fortnite via the Galaxy Store or Game Launcher on an eligible Galaxy device, the Android Store is automatically set to Samsung Store. If you side-loaded the Fortnite APK via Epicgames.com/fortnite, you have a choice between Samsung Store or Epic Games Store in the Android Store Selection, and it must be set to Samsung to redeem the Fortnite GLOW outfit. If you downloaded Fortnite on a Samsung Galaxy device, but do not see an Android Store Selection in your Settings, and your store isn’t automatically set to Samsung Store, your device is a) not a Samsung device, b) has been rooted and is no longer eligible for the promotion, or c) is not an eligible device as listed in the terms & conditions.
4
A notice will pop up asking you to register a credit card, if you have not done so already. Click Next on the pop-up and register a credit card (your card will not be charged).
5
Tap the Fortnite GLOW outfit again to choose the option to redeem the outfit and emote for yourself, or gift it to a friend, by 12/31/19. 2FA will need to be enabled for Gifting.
6
Your Fortnite GLOW outfit will be available in your LOCKER. You will also receive the Levitate emote as part of this redemption process.
If your device is qualified and you follow these steps you should be able to redeem your very own GLOW skin! During the redemption steps you will be required to enter a Credit Card number. This is only because Epic Games needs a card in the system to verify redemption of the skin. This can be removed once you have redeemed the skin. Also, each phone can only redeem the GLOW skin once so it might not be available if you buy a pre-owned phone.
The last piece to this puzzle is finding the Levitate emote. Unlike other emotes that you can purchase, the GLOW skin is built in to the skin. When using the GLOW skin you will only find the Levitate emote available while playing the game.
Lastly, make sure that you redeem the Galaxy GLOW skin by 12/31/19 at 11:59pm ET before the promotion ends. See the full terms & conditions below and let me know if you have further questions. Happy gaming!
