The answer to this question is no, you cannot transfer V-Bucks from one Epic Games account to another, as they are non-transferable. This means that if you have V-Bucks on one account, you cannot move them to a different account, even if you own both accounts.
Understanding V-Bucks Transfer Limitations
The reason for this limitation is due to the terms of service set by Epic Games, which state that V-Bucks are account-bound and cannot be transferred or gifted to other accounts.
