When you launch Fortnite, you might get surprised when you see your V-Bucks disappear. In this kind of situation, you might be wondering what is actually happening to you right now. Besides, you might also feel blank and do not know what to do. So, why did your V-Bucks disappear?
There are some possible reasons that make your V-Bucks disappear. One of the possible reasons is that because the platform that you used to purchase V-Bucks is different from the one that you are currently used to playing Fortnite and to check your V-Bucks. For instance, you purchased V-Bucks on Nintendo Switch and you are currently using Xbox One to play Fortnite and to check your V-Bucks. If it is the case, it is normal that your V-Bucks disappear because Nintendo Switch does not support the Fortnite Shared Wallet. If you purchased them on Mac and you are currently using Xbox One to play this game and to check your V-Bucks, then you will be able to see your V-Bucks. In other words, they will not disappear. Here are some examples to make you understand everything better:
-
- Example 1: After purchasing 1,000 V-Bucks on PC, you will be able to see that 1,000 V-Bucks are available on PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Android. As for the Nintendo Switch, it will display 0 V-Bucks available.
- Example 2: After purchasing 1,000 V-Bucks on Nintendo Switch, you will be able to see that 0 V-Bucks is available on PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Android. As for the Nintendo Switch, it will display 1,000 V-Bucks available.
- Example 3: After purchasing 1,000 V-Bucks on PlayStation and earning 500 V-Bucks from unlocking Battle Pass tiers, you will be able to see that 1,500 V-Bucks are available on PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Android. As for the Nintendo Switch, it will display only 500 V-Bucks available.
In order to check if it is really the case, you are suggested to launch Fortnite on the platform that you used to purchase V-Bucks and check if your V-Bucks are there. If it is not the case, you can try to quit Fortnite and then relaunch it and see if your V-Bucks are still disappeared. If there is nothing changed, you might also want to try to uninstall Fortnite and then reinstall it again and see if the issue is still there. If no one is working, the best thing that you can do is to contact the Epic Games support. How do you contact Epic Games support?
