Galaxy S10+ 1TB Limited Edition to launch in mid-March

With most of the specs, features, and designs of Samsung’s upcoming flagships already known, all that’s left to ponder is when the Galaxy S10 will land in stores and for how much. With as much as four models available, some in various configurations, it might be a somewhat daunting decision-making process. Perhaps it is good, then, that at least one … Continue reading

Mars One’s ill-fated dream unsurprisingly ends in bankruptcy

While some are still arguing whether man even landed on the moon at all or not, there are those who have already set their eyes on making Mars humanity’s next home. Elon Musk immediately comes to mind, but he was hardly the only one. Almost seven years ago, a never before heard of organization proposed landing humans on the red … Continue reading

WebXR Device API to let browsers access VR, AR hardware, sensors

Browsers these days are so powerful you can almost do anything in them. Yes, sometimes even run older (ancient, really) operating systems in a browser tab. Want to play 3D games? Google’s Project Stream is working on that. How about virtual and augmented reality experiences? That’s in the works, too. And with the new WebXR Device API on its way … Continue reading

Google Maps AR Is Being Tested by Some Users—But the Rest of Us Will Have to Wait

It’s Now Possible To Merge Fortnite Accounts For Pooling V-Bucks


It’s now finally possible to merge your Fortnite accounts if you have been meaning to share cosmetics and V-Bucks across different platforms. It has long been possible to play the game with your friends regardless of the platform they were on but the difficulties in managing game resources left a lot to be desired. With this change, players can access a single account on multiple consoles, but their inventory is going to be locked for a couple of weeks after they merge accounts.

The procedure is simple enough. First select a primary account which is the one you will continue playing with. Then pick the secondary account which instantly gets linked to your console login. There is a caveat, though.

One of the accounts being merged must have been played on the Xbox One or Switch and the other on the PlayStation 4 before September 28th, 2018. The account can ostensibly not be banned. It will also be possible to merge PC, mobile, and Mac accounts.

It depends on the game mode which items can be transferred. Save the World players can pool their Perk Materials, Heroes, Llamas, Defenders, Schematics, Survivors, XP, and Evolution. Battle Royale players are allowed to merge all cosmetic items.

Those who are interested in merging their Fortnite accounts can now do so through Epic’s website. However, a fortnight’s worth of wait is required in order to gain full access to the inventory.
