With the return of Fortnite to iOS in select regions, Epic Games is also making it easier for players around the world to spend their precious V-Bucks by introducing the Fortnite web shop.

Previously, players had to use third-party sites to see what was being offered in the Fortnite Item Shop, with no ability to purchase anything unless they logged in directly to the game.

Now that's all in the past and we'll show you how to access the Fortnite web shop and how to purchase cosmetics using it. For more content, consider checking out the brand-new map changes introduced in Chapter 5 Season 4.

The process to access and use the Fortnite web shop is extremely simple, simply head to Fortnite's official site and click on the shop tab, this will display the entire Fortnite item shop page and the cosmetics currently available.
