Epic Games has confirmed that the price of V-Bucks in Fortnite is set to rise in the UK, Canada, and Mexico, citing inflation and currency fluctuation as the main reasons.

Over on the official Fortnite news blog, Epic Games shared a post that reveals the new "pricing alignment" that's going to go affect Fortnite on July 17. The blog reveals that the price of V-Bucks is going to rise in the UK, Canada and Mexico for the first time since the last pricing alignment went live in 2021.

The blog post reveals the new prices of a few select packs and V-Bucks bundles, which easily be compared to what they cost now to see how much they've increased. For example, in the UK, 1,000 V-Bucks used to cost £6.49 and have now been increased to £6.99, while 2,800 has risen from £15.99 to £17.49. Meanwhile, 5,000 V-Bucks will cost you £27.99 instead of £25.99 and the almighty 13,500 bundle will go for £69.99 instead of £64.99.

Timmy needs some extra cash to mantain his shitty store

As a direct consequence I'm afraid I'll have to increase the fucks I don't give.

Ah yes, inflation on digital intangible goods. In Timmy Boy's eyes, greed is the only way forward. Thank goodness they gained no real foothold in the PC launcher market, horrible company.

Virtual currency inflation. Wonderful.

Whatever, I haven’t played this game in fucking years and I’m done with games that support this predatory FOMO bullshit.

We need a vendetta against V.
