The Developer Wallet is where V-Bucks payouts are added, with V-Bucks being the default method for payouts in the Fortnite Developer Program.
It includes an activity feed that tracks all V-Bucks added to your Developer Wallet, received by you through the Fortnite Developer Program from engagement payouts and in-island transactions, as well as V-Bucks spent from the Developer Wallet.
Once you complete your Tax Profile and Hyperwallet setup, you can request Epic to convert any eligible V-Bucks that you have collected in your Developer Wallet to real money payouts.
V-Bucks Payouts
V-Bucks are awarded monthly, using the same formula and schedule as engagement payout calculations for USD rewards. Any earnings from in-island transactions will be added on the same schedule.
Any V-Bucks you've purchased or earned in-game must be spent from your account before V-Bucks from the Developer Wallet are available to spend.
V-Bucks are distributed in increments of 50. During payout, any remainder below 50 rolls into your next payout once your balance reaches 50 or more.
How to Cash Out
To convert your V-Bucks to real money, you first need to complete your Tax Profile and Hyperwallet setup. Once that's done:
Epic will convert any eligible V-Bucks balance to real money in a one-time conversion.
Depending on when setup is completed, your first real money payout may arrive the following month.
All future engagement payouts and earnings from in-island transactions are then paid directly to your Hyperwallet account in real money ($USD).
You will no longer be eligible to receive V-Bucks payouts once you successfully set up your real money payouts.
Any eligible V-Bucks that Epic converts to real money as part of this process cannot be converted back to V-Bucks.
V-Bucks spent in-game are permanently non-cashable, though they remain eligible to be rolled back due to moderation or account actions. Only awarded V-Bucks that haven't been spent can be converted to cash.
Minimum Payout Threshold
A minimum payout threshold of $100 USD within a 12-month window applies to real money payouts. If your balance is under $100, you can choose to:
Continue being rewarded in V-Bucks, or
Let your balance count toward a future payout until you reach the threshold, or
Keep your V-Bucks in Fortnite instead of applying them toward your payout threshold.
