Fortnite players must have been in for a very pleasant surprise from Epic Games. There were 950 V-Bucks and a thank you note from Epic Games waiting for players. While there’s no need to wonder why you’re getting freebies, players are finding it too good to be true. If you’re worried about whether there are strings attached, here’s everything you need to know about why Fortnite is giving away 950 V-Bucks to players.

While there have been events where players could earn free V-Bucks, there hasn’t been one where you could just receive them without doing anything for it. This is one of the reasons why Fortnite players are confused about the gift they received from Epic Games.

Epic Games has not yet revealed why Fortnite is giving away 950 V-Bucks to all players. However, players are speculating that this is a way for the developers to thank players for their patience during the extended downtime periods in the recent patch notes. With the maintenance time being extended, many players are finding it quite annoying and often disrupting their playtime. Luckily, the V-Bucks might just be a good way for the developers to appease players.

950 V-Bucks is almost enough for players to get a Battle Pass, so it’s a big giveaway from Epic. However, it’s likely a one-time event. If you still haven’t received your free 950 V-Bucks in Fortnite, be sure to wait a bit, as the process can be a bit slow and time-consuming. But with so much maintenance, chances are you’ll get it sooner or later.
