After releasing for Nintendo Switch back in June, Fortnite will now be getting its own special Switch bundle next month. Today, developer Epic Games announced the new Fortnite Double Helix console bundle for Nintendo Switch, which features V-Bucks, a unique outfit, and other in-game items.
The Fortnite Double Helix Nintendo Switch bundle will sell for a retail price of $300, which is the same price as a regular Switch console. The Fortnite Switch bundle doesn’t feature a custom design for the console itself, though it will have the blue and red Joy-Cons. What’s special about the bundle are the in-game goodies that Fortnite fans can look forward to.
