Apple and Epic Games have been going on in a legal fight over the new payment method known as direct payments which were introduced by Epic in August. This method allowed Epic to receive direct payments from the users without having to give a 30% cut to iOS and Android.

Now recently Epic announced that the V-Bucks of players that are stuck on the macOS and iOS versions of Fortnite will be credited to their accounts so that they will be able to spend them on other platforms. Continue reading to know all about these free vbucks from Epic Games.

The Fortnite players are still going to be able to play on Mac and iOS platforms, but they won't receive any of the new updates plus they will be stuck on the last season's features and map. Epic has now announced last Friday that these players are going to get compensation.

The players who have purchased V-Bucks on their iOS and macOS platforms are going to get their Vbucks credited into their accounts by November 9th. Players will be able to spend them on any platform that can play Fortnite other than iOS or macOS.

  • This scheme started from the 6th of November and Epic has been providing players with free Fortnite V-bucks on both iOS and Mac as these players were not able to get the latest updates.
  • For the iOS Fortnite players, they are going to receive a bonus amount of free V-Bucks that is going to equal their current balance of unspent V-Bucks that have been purchased through the App Store.
  • For the players who play Fortnite on Mac systems, they are going to receive a bonus amount of V-Bucks equal to your current balance of unspent V-Bucks purchased from Epic. The V-Bucks compensation grant is expected to be complete by the 9th of November.
