Epic to Reduce Fortnite V-Bucks Value and Pass Rewards on March 19

The rationale faces pushback given Epic’s recent revenue figures alongside legal wins on app‑store payments.

Overview

  • Fixed-price bundles will grant fewer V-Bucks at the same dollar cost, dropping to 800 for $8.99, 2,400 for $22.99, 4,500 for $36.99, and 12,500 for $89.99.
  • Exact Amount top-ups will nearly double in price to about $0.99 per 50 V-Bucks, increasing the cost of small make-up purchases.
  • The standard Battle Pass will cost 800 V-Bucks and return 800 upon completion, with the 500 V-Buck Bonus Rewards removed; OG drops to 800 and Music and Lego passes to 1,200, while the Battle Bundle falls to 2,600.
  • Fortnite Crew’s monthly stipend decreases from 1,000 to 800 V-Bucks with the subscription price unchanged.
  • Epic highlights 20% back through Epic Rewards when using its payment system and says existing V-Buck gift cards will honor printed values, though players may now need larger bundles or pricier top-ups to afford some shop items.
