Fortnite actually decreased the price of V-Bucks packages a few years ago while Epic Games was feuding with Apple over platform fees. The new prices are still lower than what Epic was charging prior to that update, but not by much. It seems likely the upcoming price increase is related to inflation, following a general trend of increasing prices across many industries.
Epic recently reached a $520 million settlement with the Fair Trade Commission over “deceptive practices” regarding in-app purchases. Anyone who made a Fortnite purchase in error, or whose kids made purchases without their permission, can apply to claim a part of the settlement refund.
