Epic Games increases Fortnite V-Bucks "to help pay the bills"
Epic Games is increasing the price of Fortnite's in-game currency, V-Bucks, starting March 19, 2026, citing increased operational costs. Several V-Bucks pack sizes will be reduced, and the Fortnite Crew membership will offer fewer V-Bucks. The main battle pass price is also decreasing. This change follows Epic's successful dispute with Google over app store fees.
