Fortnite players will soon gain the ability to purchase V-Bucks in the precise quantity they desire – a highly anticipated feature that the community has been requesting for many years. Beginning October 14, an innovative “Exact Amount” option will be integrated into the in-game stores for Fortnite, Rocket League, and Fall Guys. This update will empower users to top up their virtual currency balance with the exact sum required for any specific item or cosmetic they wish to acquire, thereby eliminating the common issue of purchasing more than necessary.
This user-friendly purchasing method will be rolled out across a broad spectrum of platforms, including Xbox, Nintendo, PC, Android, iPhone, and via the official Fortnite web Item Shop. However, it is crucial for PlayStation users to be aware that this specific feature will not be available on their platform at launch. Despite this initial exclusion, Epic Games has provided reassurance, stating that they “will work to make this available everywhere,” indicating plans for future support on PlayStation.
For players of Fortnite and Rocket League, exact amount purchases will be facilitated in increments of 50 V-Bucks (or Credits). In Fall Guys, the corresponding in-game currency will be purchasable in increments of 100. Furthermore, as part of this transition to more flexible purchasing, an important adjustment will occur on October 10: any player possessing an existing balance of V-Bucks in Fortnite or Credits in Rocket League will have their current balance rounded up to the nearest 50. Similarly, Fall Guys players will see their balances rounded up to the nearest 100 units of currency.
This significant update directly addresses a long-standing point of frustration prevalent in many games that feature virtual currency. Historically, players often found themselves compelled to buy more currency than they genuinely needed, simply because only fixed, pre-set currency packs were available. The introduction of the “Exact Amount” feature is designed to offer significantly greater flexibility and a more player-centric experience, ensuring that users are not left with unusable, small amounts of leftover currency.
In other news from the world of Fortnite, the gaming community is buzzing with excitement and anticipation for an upcoming major collaboration with Disney. Players are encouraged to stay vigilant for further announcements and comprehensive details concerning the exciting Disney x Fortnite project, which promises new content and experiences.
