Fortnite increases price of V-Bucks currency to ‘help pay the bills’
Epic Games is increasing the cost of Fortnite's V-Bucks currency, with packs, battle passes, and Crew subscriptions yielding less currency for the same price. The company cites increased costs for keeping Fortnite running as the reason for the change, which will take effect on March 19. This move has been met with negative reactions from players who are already dealing with layoffs and dwindling profits at Epic Games.
