Tracking Your Fortnite Spending: A Comprehensive Guide

Fortnite is free, but its enticing skins can lead to significant V-Buck purchases. This guide outlines two methods to monitor your Fortnite spending, preventing unexpected bank statement surprises. Remember, seemingly small purchases accumulate quickly, as illustrated by the anecdote of a player unknowingly spending nearly $800 on Candy Crush in three months.

Method 1: Reviewing Your Epic Games Store Account

All V-Buck transactions, regardless of platform or payment method, are recorded in your Epic Games Store account. Here's how to check:

1. Access the Epic Games Store website and log in.
2. Click your username (top right corner), then select "Account," followed by "Transactions."
3. On the "Purchase" tab, scroll through the transaction list, clicking "Show More" until you reach the end. Identify entries showing "5,000 V-Bucks" (or similar amounts) with associated currency values.
4. Manually record the V-Bucks and currency amounts for each purchase.
5. Use a calculator to sum the V-Bucks and currency values separately to determine your total spending.

Important Considerations:

• Free Epic Games Store games will appear as transactions; scroll past these.
• V-Buck card redemptions might not display a dollar amount.

Method 2: Utilizing Fortnite.gg

As highlighted by Dot Esports, Fortnite.gg offers a way to track your spending, although it requires manual input:

1. Visit Fortnite.gg and log in (or create an account).
2. Navigate to "My Locker."
3. Manually add each purchased outfit and cosmetic item by selecting it and clicking "+ Locker." You can also search for items.
4. Your locker will then display the total V-Buck value of your acquired cosmetics.
5. Use a V-Buck to USD calculator (many are readily available online) to estimate your total dollar amount spent.

While neither method is perfectly automated, they provide effective ways to track your Fortnite expenditures.

Fortnite is available across multiple platforms, including Meta Quest 2 and 3.
