Do I need an Epic account to buy on vbs.ar?

Yes. To receive V-Bucks you need an active Epic Games account in good standing.

Can I have more than one Epic account?

Technically yes, but Epic doesn't recommend it. Each account is independent and V-Bucks can't be transferred between accounts.

Which email should I use for my Epic account?

Use an email you regularly use and have access to. It's important for account recovery if you lose access.

Is the Epic account the same as the Fortnite account?

Yes. Your Epic Games account is your Fortnite account. They're the same thing.

Which account to use for Fortnite?

If you play on console, it's best to link your Epic account to your PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo account. This way V-Bucks and cosmetics are available on all your platforms with the same account.

Protect your account with 2FA

Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) in Epic Games security settings. Besides protecting your account, Epic gives you free cosmetics for enabling it.

Linking platform accounts

In 'Connections' within your Epic profile you can link PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Steam, and more. This allows playing with the same progress and V-Bucks on all platforms.
