How Come My V-Bucks Didn’t Transfer? Understanding Fortnite’s Currency System
Last updated
Ever found yourself scratching your head and wondering, ‘How come my V-Bucks didn’t transfer?’
If you’re puzzled about why your V-Bucks didn’t move with you to a different platform, you’re not alone. Let’s dive into this mystery and clear up the confusion.
Short Answer to Your V-Bucks Dilemma
Generally, V-Bucks are tied to the platform on which you bought them due to the agreements between Epic Games and platform owners. That’s why you don’t see them when you switch devices.
When you purchase V-Bucks on one platform, these in-game currencies stay on that particular platform. If you switch from playing on PlayStation to Xbox, for example, the V-Bucks you have won’t show up. This is because of the way transactions are processed differently across platforms.
