Why Don’t PS4 V-Bucks Show on PC? Let’s Explore the Answer!

Ever wonder why your V-Bucks balance looks different depending on whether you’re checking on your PS4 or PC? Let’s dig into that question and clear up the mystery.

Why do V-Bucks you buy on your PS4 not show up when you switch over to playing Fortnite on your PC? We’ve got the scoop for you!

Short Answer: Platform-Specific Wallets

Here’s the deal: V-Bucks purchased on a PlayStation 4 are tied to your Sony account, which means they stay on your PS4. This happens because of how Sony and Epic Games, the creators of Fortnite, handle the in-game currency.

When you buy V-Bucks on your PS4, they go into a wallet that’s specific to your Sony account. This wallet doesn’t share its balance with other platforms, like your PC. So, when you switch from playing Fortnite on your PS4 to your PC, your V-Bucks stay behind on the PS4.
