Fortnite Getting More Expensive But Also Cheaper?


Prices are going up and prices are coming down.

Fortnite is getting more expensive and at the same time getting cheaper. The folks at Epic this week announced that buying V-Bucks is about to get more expensive. A $9 USD pack used to get you 1,000 V-Bucks but after March 19 will net you 800 V-Bucks.

The kicker? The Battle Pass is dropping in cost from 1,000 V-Bucks to 800 although you’ll only earn 800 V-Bucks for completing it now so it won’t be netting you a profit. Purchases for Fortnite will also earn a 20% return on the Epic Games Store, meaning for every $9 you spend you’ll get $1.79 back.

The prices for the other battle passes are also coming down by 200 V-Bucks and the Fortnite Crew will only grant 800 V-Bucks per month instead of the prior 1,000. Existing V-Bucks cards will still redeem at their printed value.
