The Fortnite Mega Drop is here, saving you money when you buy V-Bucks in-game. You can get up to 20% savings on V-Bucks and real money offers for every purchase on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac, and mobile when you use certain payment methods.
This isn't a limited-time offer, but rather an overhaul by Epic of the costs of V-Bucks and in-game items.
How to save money on PCs and consoles
On PC and consoles, the new pricing is automatic. As of today, any V-Bucks or real money offers you buy on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC and Mac are now up to 20% off. You don't have to do anything, the prices will automatically apply in your V-Bucks store.
How to save money on mobile
Today, Epic is also introducing a new way to pay on iOS and Android in the form of Epic direct payment. When you choose to use Epic direct payments, you save up to 20% because Epic passes the payment processing savings to you.
This feature will be added to the game with an update available on August 13. Here is how it works:
Currently, when using the Apple and Google payment options, Apple and Google charge a 30% fee, and the price reduction of up to 20% does not apply. If Apple or Google reduces their payment fees in the future, Epic will pass the savings on to you.
Epic Direct Pay supports many countries and the list will grow over time, so if you are not yet covered by this new feature, we hope it will be available to you in the future. Check out their page list of supported countries and currencies for iOS and Android players using the Google Play Store.
Android users can also take advantage of discounted V-Bucks and real money offers through the Epic Games app at epicgames.com and the Samsung Galaxy Store.
What if I recently bought V-Bucks?
Anyone who has purchased V-Bucks or purchased a real money offer like Summer Legends between July 14, 2020 and August 13, 2020, will receive a V-Bucks bonus by August 17. The V-Bucks bonus will be 20% of the total purchase amount during this period.
