Epic Games has announced a price increase in its in-game V-bucks currency for Fortnite, citing increased operating costs as a primary reason. The change will take effect on March 19th, the same day the next major Fortnie season debuts. However, when asked about specific reasons for the price hike, Epic executives declined to comment. Currently, $8.99 gets 1,000 V-Bucks, but after the change, that price will only get 800.
