For the first time since 2023, Epic Games is increasing the price of Fortnite V-Bucks, with the change going into effect March 19. But unlike last time, when Epic simply made each V-Buck pack cost a few dollars more, the changes this time are a lot more complicated and warrant a bit of a discussion. You can read Epic’s announcement here, and we’ll run through the changes in depth below so you can understand them a little better.<\/p>\n
Instead of raising the prices of the different tiers of V-Buck packs in Fortnite, Epic is decreasing the amount of V-Bucks you get for your money–the $9 pack will grant 800 V-Bucks instead of 1,000, the $23 pack will grant 2,400 instead of 2,800, the $36 pack will include 4,500 instead of 5,000, and the $90 pack will include 12,500 instead of 13,500.<\/p>\n
It’s the change to that second pack that’s going to be the most impactful, because there have been many<\/em> cosmetic bundles that cost between 2,500 and 2,800 V-Bucks, and now folks may need to buy a more expensive pack of V-Bucks or use the new “Exact Amount” top-up feature to buy those bundles. Unfortunately, the top-up is also about to become significantly pricier itself.<\/p>\n
