Epic Games Adds Exact V-Bucks Purchases on Multiple Platforms Excluding PlayStation

News summary

Epic Games is introducing an 'Exact Amount' purchasing feature for V-Bucks in Fortnite, Rocket League, and Fall Guys, starting October 14, 2025. This update allows players to buy only the precise amount of in-game currency needed to purchase items, in increments of 50 V-Bucks, eliminating the need for overspending on larger bundles. The feature will be available on all platforms except PlayStation initially, with Epic stating efforts to extend availability to all platforms. This change aligns with evolving industry standards and regulatory pressures, such as the upcoming European Union Digital Fairness Act, which aims to protect consumers from forced purchases of excess virtual currency. The new system addresses long-standing player complaints about currency bundles and offers greater financial flexibility, potentially encouraging smaller, more frequent purchases. Epic’s move reflects a broader trend of increasing consumer rights and transparency in the gaming economy.
