Tracking Your Fortnite Spending: A Comprehensive Guide
Fortnite is free, but its enticing skins can lead to unexpected spending. This guide outlines two methods to monitor your Fortnite expenditures, preventing any financial surprises.
Method 1: Checking Your Epic Games Store Account
All V-Buck purchases are recorded in your Epic Games Store account, regardless of platform or payment method. To review your spending:
- Visit the Epic Games Store website and log in.
- Click your username (top right).
- Select "Account," then "Transactions."
- On the "Purchase" tab, scroll through your transactions, clicking "Show More" as needed.
- Identify entries showing "5,000 V-Bucks" (or similar) with associated currency amounts.
- Manually sum the V-Bucks and currency values separately using a calculator to determine your total spending.
Important Considerations:
- Free Epic Games Store games will appear as transactions; scroll past these.
- Redeemed V-Bucks cards may not display a dollar amount.
Method 2: Utilizing Fortnite.gg
As noted by Dot Esports, Fortnite.gg offers a way to estimate your spending, though it requires manual input:
- Go to Fortnite.gg and log in (or create an account).
- Navigate to "My Locker."
- Manually add each purchased outfit and item from your Cosmetics tab (click an item, then "+ Locker"). You can also search for items.
- Your locker will display the total V-Buck value of your items.
- Use a V-Buck to dollar converter (many are available online) to estimate your total monetary expenditure.
Neither method is completely foolproof, but they provide effective ways to track your Fortnite spending.
Fortnite is available across multiple platforms, including Meta Quest 2 and 3.
