So, simply put, you’ve updated Fortnite, and your V-Bucks seem to have pulled a vanishing act. Why did this happen, and what can you do about it? Keep reading to find out.
Short Answer: It’s Usually a Sync Issue
Most of the time when V-Bucks don’t show up after an update, it’s because of a synchronization problem between your game account and the Fortnite servers. This hiccup often fixes itself.
Patience is key. Give it a little time. But, if your V-Bucks still aren’t showing after a few hours, restarting the game or checking your internet connection might help speed things up. If that doesn’t work, reaching out to Epic Games’ support is your next best step.
