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 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. Follow these steps:
- Access 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 a corresponding dollar amount.
- Record the V-Bucks and currency amounts for each purchase.
- Use a calculator to sum your total V-Bucks and total currency spent.
Important Considerations:
- Free Epic Games Store games will appear as transactions; scroll past these.
- Redeemed V-Bucks cards might not display a dollar amount.
Method 2: Utilizing Fortnite.gg
As noted by Dot Esports, Fortnite.gg offers a manual tracking option:
- Visit Fortnite.gg and log in (or create an account).
- Navigate to "My Locker."
- Manually add each purchased outfit and item from your Cosmetics section (click an item, then "+ Locker"). You can also search for items.
- Your locker will display the total V-Buck value of your acquired cosmetics.
- Use a V-Buck to USD calculator to estimate your total spending.
While neither method is flawless, they provide reasonable estimates of your Fortnite spending.
Fortnite is playable across various platforms, including Meta Quest 2 and 3.
