All aboard the Battle Bus! More than six years into its release, Fortnite is showing no signs of slowing down.
Fortnite – V-Bucks Prices Increasing on October 27th
29.09.2023 - 10:03 / gamingbolt.com
Along with laying off almost 900 employees, Epic Games announced an increase to V-Bucks prices in Fortnite. Starting October 27th, the United States, Hungary, Japan, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Turkey and more will be affected. The increase is due to “economic factors such as inflation and currency fluctuations, and follow similar pricing alignments recently completed in the United Kingdom, Canada, and Mexico.”
In the United States, 1000 V-Bucks will now cost $8.99 instead of $7.99, while 2800 V-Bucks will retail for $22.99 instead of $19.99. You must pay $36.99 for 5000 V-Bucks instead of the current $31.99 price and $89.99 for 13,500 V-Bucks instead of $79.99. Fortnite Crew isn’t affected by the pricing change, but Packs like The Final Reckoning, Skull Squad, Saint Academy, Transformer and more will be adjusted when available in the future.
Epic Games is far from the only company to increase prices for its digital offerings. Microsoft raised the price of Game Pass for consoles and Game Pass Ultimate, while Sony increased the price of 12-month subscriptions in all three tiers of PlayStation Plus.

PS5 Slim's Digital Edition Gets a Stealth Price Increase in USA | Push Square
Sony is using the opportunity of the PS5’s smaller, slimmer relaunch to stealthily bump the price of the Digital Edition in the United States. While we already know you’ll need to pay extra for a standalone vertical stand, the organisation has also made the decision to hike the overall cost of the non-Blu-ray unit by $50. This means, moving forwards, the disc-less device will increase from an MSRP of $399.99 to $449.99.
