Tracking Your Fortnite Spending: A Comprehensive Guide
Fortnite is free, but its enticing skins can lead to unexpected spending. This guide shows you how to monitor your Fortnite expenditures to avoid financial surprises. We'll cover two methods: checking your Epic Games Store account and using the Fortnite.gg website.
Method 1: Reviewing Your Epic Games Store Transactions
All V-Buck purchases, regardless of platform or payment method, are recorded in your Epic Games Store account. Here's how to access this information:
- Visit the Epic Games Store website and log in.
- Click your username in the top right corner.
- Select "Account," then "Transactions."
- On the "Purchase" tab, scroll through your transaction history, clicking "Show More" as needed.
- Identify entries labeled "5,000 V-Bucks" (or similar) and note the associated currency amount.
- Manually sum the V-Bucks and currency values to determine your total spending.
Important Considerations:
- Free Epic Games Store games will appear in your transactions, so you'll need to filter them out.
- V-Buck card redemptions might not show a dollar amount.
Method 2: Utilizing Fortnite.gg
As highlighted by Dot Esports, Fortnite.gg offers a way to track 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 section by clicking on the item and then "+ Locker." You can also search for items.
- Your locker will then display the total V-Buck value of your acquired cosmetics.
- Use a V-Buck to dollar converter (easily found online) to estimate your total spending.
While neither method is perfectly automated, they provide effective ways to track your Fortnite spending. Remember to regularly review your spending to stay informed.
Fortnite is available on various platforms, including Meta Quest 2 and 3.
