Fortnite to Introduce Exact V-bucks Purchases

▼ Summary

– Epic Games is introducing an “Exact Amount” feature to let Fortnite players buy only the V-Bucks they need to complete a purchase.
– This feature will launch on October 14th for Android, iPhone, iPad, Nintendo, PC, Xbox, and the web-based Fortnite item shop.
– It will not be initially available on PlayStation, but Epic plans to expand it to all platforms eventually.
– The Exact Amount offer will display V-Bucks in increments of 50, allowing precise top-ups for specific items.
– Epic is also extending this Exact Amount feature to Rocket League and Fall Guys.

Getting the right amount of V-Bucks for that perfect Fortnite skin just got a whole lot easier. Epic Games is rolling out a new feature called Exact Amount, designed to let players purchase only the V-Bucks they need to complete a transaction. No more buying large bundles when just a few extra coins will do.

Starting October 14th, this convenient option will be available across multiple platforms including Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox, and the Epic Games web store. While PlayStation users won’t have access right away, Epic has confirmed they’re working to expand availability to all systems in the near future.

Here’s how it works in practice: imagine you’ve got your eye on an item that costs 500 V-Bucks, but your account only shows a balance of 400. Instead of purchasing a pre-set bundle, you’ll be able to buy exactly 100 V-Bucks to cover the difference. The system will display offers in increments of 50 V-Bucks, making it simple to round up to the nearest required amount.

This user-friendly approach isn’t limited to Fortnite alone. Epic has also announced plans to bring the Exact Amount feature to other popular titles like Rocket League and Fall Guys, giving players more flexibility and control over their in-game spending.
