Fortnite Raises V-Bucks Prices in Select Countries Again

Epic Games has announced a price increase for Fortnite’s in-game purchases, including V-Bucks, in select countries. This decision was revealed on September 10, coinciding with the launch of Chapter 5 Season 4. The company cited “factors such as inflation and currency fluctuations” as reasons for adjusting the prices of V-Bucks and content packs.

Similar price hikes were implemented around this time last year due to the same economic challenges. The upcoming changes will take effect on October 14.

The countries impacted by this increase are Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Nigeria, Vietnam, and the Philippines. The official announcement indicated that Epic Games plans to adjust prices “around the world on a more regular basis.”
