Epic Games has confirmed that prices are going up for Fortnite in regard to V-Bucks, with pack tiers offering slightly less bang for your buck as a result of the price hike. Why? To ‘help pay the bills,’ it says.
You can see a table reflecting these changes below.
Pack* | Previous | New | With Epic Rewards* |
$8.99 Pack | 1,000 V-Bucks | 800 V-Bucks | +$1.79 back |
$22.99 Pack | 2,800 V-Bucks | 2,400 V-Bucks | +$4.59 back |
$36.99 Pack | 5,000 V-Bucks | 4,500 V-Bucks | +$7.39 back |
$89.99 Pack | 13,500 V-Bucks | 12,500 V-Bucks | +$17.99 back |
Exact Amount Pack | ~$0.50* for 50 V-Bucks | $0.99* for 50 V-Bucks |
Players will get 20% back in Epic Rewards on purchase across Fortnite, Fall Guys, and Rocket League when they are made via the Epic Games Store, or Epic’s payments system on PC, iOS, Android and web. Meanwhile, the Battle Pass will now set you back 800 V-Bucks and award 800 V-Bucks for completing it. It would previously cost 1,000 V-Bucks and would reward 1,000 V-Bucks plus 500 in Bonus Rewards.
