Fortnite’s Peak Skin Costs Roughly 2–3 Times the Price of Peak

The price gap stems from a recent V-Bucks increase that raised real-money costs for cosmetics.

Overview

  • - Fortnite’s Peak crossover is live with a customizable Scout outfit priced at 2,000 V-Bucks, which works out to a little over $20 in real money.
  • - Epic raised V-Bucks prices this month, giving buyers about 14% fewer V-Bucks per bundle and making item shop purchases more expensive.
  • - The full Peak bundle lists at 2,500 V-Bucks at roughly $23, while Peak sells for $7.99 on Steam and is about $5 during the Spring Sale.
  • - Players blasted the pricing on social media, with one viral post calling it a slap in the face to the Peak developers.
  • - Outlets noted that Epic shares revenue with Aggro Crab and that the skin supports over 2,250 style variations, while others tied fan anger to recent Epic layoffs, and the company has not changed the new pricing.
