Fortnite V-Bucks price hike takes effect amid rising operating costs
TL;DR
Epic Games is raising Fortnite’s V-Bucks prices starting March 19, 2026 due to higher operating costs. Pack prices drop to 800/2,400/4,500/12,500 (from 1,000/2,800/5,000/13,500); Fortnite Crew membership will now grant 800 V-Bucks (down from 1,000); main battle pass loses bonus currency and its price falls from 1,000 to 800 V-Bucks. The OG, Lego, and Music passes also decrease by 200, with an optional season pass available. The move follows Epic’s Google app store dispute resolution.
