"Starting on March 19th, V-bucks packs will include less of the premium currency at the same prices. For instance, players can currently get 1,000 V-bucks for $8.99, but after the price increases they will only get 800 V-bucks at the same rate."
"Epic is also adjusting the price of Fortnite's Battle Pass, which will now cost 800 V-bucks to access and reward 800 V-bucks upon completion, rather than costing and awarding 1,000 V-bucks as it currently does. Unfortunately, Battle Pass bonus rewards will no longer include V-bucks after next week's price changes."
"Epic says 'the cost of running Fortnite has gone up a lot,' forcing them to increase their prices. Fortnite isn't the only Epic game seeing price hikes, either - the premium currency in Fall Guys is getting similar pricing changes starting on April 8th."
Epic Games is implementing significant pricing changes for Fortnite's premium currency, V-bucks, effective March 19th. Players will receive fewer V-bucks for the same dollar amounts—for example, $8.99 now yields 800 V-bucks instead of 1,000. The Battle Pass price decreases to 800 V-bucks but will no longer reward V-bucks upon completion, eliminating a key benefit for players. Other passes like the OG Pass also see reduced costs, while specialty passes increase slightly. Epic attributes these changes to rising operational costs. Similar pricing adjustments are coming to Fall Guys' premium currency on April 8th. Existing V-bucks gift cards retain their printed redemption values.
