Fortnite is one of the most popular live-service games out due to developer Epic Game’s consistent ability to partner with new brands and services to expand reach. Amazon Luna is a new streaming service for games that allows those without hardware access to a variety of titles without needing a console or PC.

Epic Games is giving away the Velocity Edge for free through the middle of this month if players are able to access the game via the service. Here’s all the information you need to know about how to play Fortnite on the Amazon Luna service and claim the Velocity Edge pickaxe for free.

If you navigate to the Amazon Luna web page, you’ll notice that you have multiple options for how you can stream games. If you’re using your phone, you can play in the Safari or Google Chrome browser, depending on which service you’re playing on.

Follow these steps to claim the Velocity Edge pickaxe:

  • Choose your service from the Luna page
  • Once open in your browser or device, navigate to Fortnite’s page
  • Select “Play Now” and log in with your primary Epic Games account
  • Log in with your Amazon Prime account
  • Play a match in the app

With the item just becoming available recently, it will likely take a little bit before you’re awarded the cosmetic for playing on the service. As long as you have Amazon Prime and an Epic Games account, that’s all you need to know about how to unlock the Velocity Edge pickaxe.
