On Monday, game developer Epic Games announced that any v-bucks purchased by fortress night players from Playstation will soon be available on all game platforms except Nintendo switch Previously, the v-bucks purchased by players on the PS platform were only limited to the Sony platform, while the v20.0 released on Tuesday After the update, v-bucks can be shared on Xbox, PC, Android and cloud game services.
In the past, Sony didn't want to cooperate with epic to realize the cross platform of Fortress night. Although before that Xbox Players on and switch can choose cross games, but Sony didn't enable cross games until September 2018. According to as epic to Apple The court documents issued as part of the lawsuit and the hesitation to open the cross game are likely because the cash cow of Fortress night is PlayStation. Between March 2018 and July 2020, PS4 generated 46.8% of Fortress night's total revenue. (Xbox one, the second largest platform, generated 27.5%).
We still don't know how to divide the income cake. However, since fortress night is the most downloaded free game on ps5 and PS4 in the United States and the European Union from February to April, according to Sony, it is obvious that the game is still very popular on the Playstation platform, which may mean that many people are buying v-bucks.
Please note that the upcoming changes apply only to purchased v-bucks. As before, any v-bucks you get through fortress night's battle pass or its save the world mode can only be used on the platform. However, the v-bucks you buy at Microsoft or Sony stores will not appear in your shared wallet until you log in to fortress night on the corresponding console platform.
