Fortnite V-Bucks Price Increase: Epic Games Announces New Pricing and Rewards Changes

Fortnite V-Bucks prices are set to increase, as announced by Epic Games. The studio cited rising costs as the reason for the price hike, which will take effect on March 19. Epic Rewards members will receive 20% back on purchases made through the Epic Games Store or Epic's payment system on PC, iOS, and Android. The Battle Pass will now cost 800 V-Bucks and offer 800 V-Bucks upon completion, a change from the previous 1,000 V-Bucks cost with 1,000 V-Bucks back plus a 500 V-Bucks bonus. The Battle Bundle price is also decreasing from 2,800 to 2,600 V-Bucks, including the Battle Pass and the first 25 levels unlocked immediately. Fortnite Crew members will now receive 800 V-Bucks instead of 1,000, and the membership is now included with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Other passes like the OG Pass, Music Pass, and Lego Pass are also seeing price decreases.
