"The real world price of impulse-buying Fortnite skins is going up, Epic has announced. Not because skins themselves are getting more expensive on paper, but because V-Bucks, Fortnite's digital currency, is. The same prices you paid for bundles of V-Bucks in February will now effectively earn you fewer bucks starting on March 19, along with several other Fortnite-related pricing changes."
"$8.99 will get you 800 V-Bucks, down from 1,000 V-Bucks; $22.99 will get you 2,400 V-Bucks, down from 2,800 V-Bucks; $36.99 will get you 4,500 V-Bucks, down from 5,000 V-Bucks; $89.99 will get you 12,500 V-Bucks, down from 13,500 V-Bucks."
"As part of the company's Epic Rewards program, you get 20 percent back on purchases made in Fortnite, Fall Guys and Rocket League when you use the Epic Games Store or Epic's payment system on Android, iOS, PC or the web. That means you can receive anywhere from $1.79 (for 800 V-Bucks) to $17.99 (for 12,500 V-Bucks) to spend in Fortnite or the Epic Games Store."
Epic Games announced a V-Bucks conversion rate change for Fortnite, reducing the digital currency value in all purchase bundles. The $8.99 bundle drops from 1,000 to 800 V-Bucks, while the $89.99 tier decreases from 13,500 to 12,500 V-Bucks. The Exact Amount Pack price doubles from $0.50 to $0.99 for 50 V-Bucks. Battle Pass pricing adjusts to 800 V-Bucks, down from 1,000. Epic attributes the change to operational costs of running the battle royale game. The company offers 20 percent rewards back through its Epic Rewards program when using Epic's payment systems, partially offsetting the price increase.
