Epic Games Announces V-Bucks Price Hike in Fortnite for USA and Europe

New V-Bucks Pricing

Here’s the updated price list for purchasing V-Bucks in Fortnite:

• 1000 V-Bucks — now priced at $8.99 / €8.99 (previously — $7.99 / €7.99)
• 2800 V-Bucks — price jumped to $22.99 / €22.99 (previously — $19.99 / €19.99)
• 5000 V-Bucks — updated price $36.99 / €36.99 (previously — $31.99 / €31.99)
• 13500 V-Bucks — the hefty sum rose to $89.99 / €89.99 (previously — $79.99 / €79.99)

Reasons Behind the Price Change

The likely reason for the price increase is Epic Games’ endeavor to continue its policy of giving away free games every week. Perhaps, the rise in V-Bucks prices will help the company offset costs and continue to delight players with new free titles.

So, if you were planning to top up your game balance, it might be wise to hurry before the new prices kick in. Or wait for promotions and special offers, which are regularly held within the game.
