Why are my Star Wars Tycoon Fortnite codes not working?

Codes in Fortnite rarely expire, so you’ve likely mistyped the code. Make sure you’re typing in your Star Wars Tycoon Fortnite codes carefully. Also, you can’t redeem one code multiple times, so if you’ve already used one, you won’t be able to do it again.

The Fortnite Shattered Live Event officially begins on Friday, June 5, at 7 PM ET. As per Epic's announcement, doors for the event open at 6:20 PM ET, allowing players to queue in and wait for the event to begin. As with major end-of-season events, Fortnite Shattered will have its own playlist, so be sure to queue in on the day to ensure you do not miss out. In the rare case that there are queue times, we recommend jumping into Fortnite at least 30 minutes before the event begins to avoid missing out.
