You have to fill the fridge
“The cost of operating Fortnite has increased significantly. So we raise prices to help us pay the bills”these are the words that we can find on the official website of the game to announce that the price of V-Bucks will rise.
This way of communicating on the part of Epic Games could have been amusing if it did not reflect crazy cynicism about the economic situation of the American giant, whose gross income exceeded 6 billion dollars in 2025. In addition, we do not have to go back very far to find the latest evolution of the V-Bucks ecosystem, since in 2023 Epic’s prices had already evolved, increasing the pack from €7.99 to €8.99.
Here is the new pricing for the different V-Bucks packs as of March 19, 2026, the launch day of Season 2 of Chapter Seven:
- The €8.99 pack will give access to 800 V-bucks instead of 1000
- The €22.99 pack will give access to 2400 V-bucks instead of 1000
- The €36.99 pack will give access to 4,500 V-bucks instead of 5,000
- The €89.99 pack will give access to 12,500 V-bucks instead of 13,500
- The exact amount pack will go from €0.50 for 50 V-Bucks to €0.99
To put it simply, for the same price, you will get fewer V-Buckswhich, rightly so, will make those who have already invested time and money in the game cringe. Also note that the Battle Pass remains refundable except that instead of spending and then earning a maximum of 1000 V-Bucks, it will be 800, and no bonus pass rewards will include V-Bucks.
More information on the developments of the other passes is available on the official website of Fortnite. In any case, multiplying partnerships with the most famous or fashionable licenses in the world, sitting on mountains of tickets, but asking for an additional gesture from the public, there is a sort of dissonance.
