V-Bucks are the in-game currency of Fortnite, the free-to-play battle royale and creative platform developed and published by Epic Games. V-Bucks codes and gift cards add a set amount of this currency to your Epic Games account, so you can buy content without using a bank card in the game.
You can spend V-Bucks on cosmetic items in the Fortnite Item Shop, such as outfits, back blings, pickaxes, gliders, emotes, and wraps. They are also used to buy the Battle Pass and other seasonal passes, which unlock rewards as you play. Cosmetics do not affect gameplay, so V-Bucks do not give a competitive advantage.
V-Bucks are tied to your Epic Games account rather than one device. Fortnite runs on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and mobile, and in most cases the V-Bucks you redeem are available wherever you play with the same Epic account. Check the seller's description for any platform or region notes before you buy.
V-Bucks cards are usually redeemed on the official Fortnite or Epic Games website by signing in to your Epic account and entering the code. The balance then appears in your account the next time you open the game.
On CDKeyCompares, you can compare Fortnite V-Bucks prices across different amounts and sellers. If a code will not redeem, see our guide on what to do when a key doesn't work.
