Why don't all of my V-Bucks transfer across platforms?

Some V-Bucks are shared across platforms, while others are locked to the platform where they were purchased. This can cause your V-Bucks balance to look different depending on where you play.

How V-Bucks sharing works

Most platforms support the Fortnite Shared Wallet, which allows certain V-Bucks to be used across multiple devices.

V-Bucks purchased on Nintendo Switch are not shared with other platforms and cannot be used in the Fortnite Web Shop.

Note: For players in Korea, V-Bucks purchased on PC are not shared with other platforms.

Examples of how balances may appear

Example 1: 1,000 V-Bucks purchased on PC

  • Xbox, PlayStation, PC, and Android show 1,000 V-Bucks.
  • Nintendo Switch shows 0 V-Bucks.

Example 2: 1,000 V-Bucks purchased on Nintendo Switch

  • Nintendo Switch shows 1,000 V-Bucks.

What is shared across all platforms

The restrictions above apply only to purchased V-Bucks, including those purchased on the Epic Games Store or Fortnite Web Shop.

V-Bucks earned through Fortnite Passes, Quest Packs, or Save the World are shared across all platforms.

Any items you purchase with V-Bucks are available on all platforms where you play Fortnite.
