Fortnite's V-Bucks Devaluation Creates 56% Value Gap with Other In-Game Currencies

In March 2026, Fortnite players were surprised to find that an €8.99 V-Bucks purchase now buys 800 instead of 1,000 units.

Epic Games didn't change the price, but reduced the quantity behind each price point, effectively raising the cost without increasing the headline number on store pages.

This stealthy devaluation has created a significant gap between V-Bucks and other in-game currencies like Call of Duty Points and Apex Coins. The 56% difference in value makes Fortnite's currency one of the worst values among the three, especially for those who only buy the cheapest bundles.

The change affects not just individual purchases but also subscriptions and battle passes. For example, a standard battle pass at 950 V-Bucks now effectively costs more because every bundle yields fewer V-Bucks per euro.
