Fortnite Increasing V-Bucks Prices in U.S., Japan, and Europe to Account for Inflation

Fortnite is increasing V-Bucks prices in the US, Japan, and parts of Europe starting October 27.

Price of 1000 V-Bucks goes from $8 to $9 in the US, a 12-15% increase depending on bundle.

New prices are still lower than before Epic's feud with Apple over fees.

Likely tied to inflation, following trend of increasing prices across industries.

Epic recently reached $520M settlement over "deceptive practices" with in-app purchases.
