Epic Games has announced price increases for V-Bucks (Fortnite) due to higher operating costs. The Battle Pass has also been adjusted, meaning players will no longer receive bonus V-Bucks.
Epic Games will increase the price of V-Bucks, the in-game currency in Fortnite. "The cost of running Fortnite has gone up a lot and we're raising prices to help pay the bills," the company wrote. The new prices will come into effect on 19 March 2026.
