Fortnite raises V-Buck prices and trims bonus rewards

Epic Games needs some extra cash to help pay all the bills associated with Fortnite. The developer is raising the price of V-Bucks, reducing the number of V-Bucks that Fortnite Crew subscribers get each month, and removing the bonus currency rewards from the main battle pass.

It’s not all bad news: all of the game’s various passes are getting a bit cheaper. Starting March 19, players will get fewer V-Bucks when buying the in-game premium currency. $9 pack 800 V-Bucks (Previously 1,000). $23 pack 2,400 V-Bucks (Previously 2,800). $37 pack 4,500 V-Bucks (Previously 5,000).

$90 pack 12,500 V-Bucks (Previously 13,500). Epic is also raising the cost for players buying an exact amount of V-Bucks in increments of 50; it will soon cost $1 to buy 50 V-Bucks in this way. Before, it was just $0.50. Epic confirmed that previously purchased V-Buck gift cards will still provide the printed amount.
