The Fortnite Mega Drop - Permanent Discounts Up to 20%

Posted by Twigsby on 8/13/2020

The Fortnite Mega Drop is here! Get up to 20% savings on V-Bucks and real-money offers for every purchase on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Mac, and on mobile when using select payment methods.

This isn’t a sale… these are new discount prices available anytime! We’re excited to pass along these savings to you and will continue to look for additional ways to bring value to all Fortnite players. Here’s how to snag your savings.


PC and Console Savings

Starting today, any V-Bucks or real-money offers you purchase on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Mac are now discounted by up to 20%. You don’t need to do anything!


Epic direct payment on Mobile

Today, we’re also introducing a new way to pay on iOS and Android: Epic direct payment. When you choose to use Epic direct payments, you save up to 20% as Epic passes along payment processing savings to you.

Grab the latest Fortnite update to begin saving today! Here’s how it works:

Epic direct pay on Apple App Store

Epic direct pay on Google Play Store
Choose Epic direct payment to get the best deal on V-Bucks and real-money purchases.


Currently, when using Apple and Google payment options, Apple and Google collect a 30% fee, and the up to 20% price drop does not apply. If Apple or Google lower their fees on payments in the future, Epic will pass along the savings to you.

Frequently Asked Questions


What does 20% off V-Bucks mean?

V-Bucks and real-money offers can now be purchased at new prices discounted up to 20% on console and PC/Mac. On mobile, you can select Epic direct payment to get your new discount (not yet available in all countries - more countries coming soon).

What if I recently purchased V-Bucks?

Players that purchased V-Bucks or purchased a real-money offer like Summer Legends in the last 30 days (July 14, 2020 - August 13, 2020) will be granted a V-Bucks bonus by August 17! The V-Bucks bonus will be 20% of the total purchase amount during that time frame.

To celebrate the Fortnite Mega Drop, we’re gifting all active players the Shooting Starstaff Pickaxe for FREE. Enjoy and thank you for being a part of the community!

What does the Fortnite Mega Drop mean for Support-A-Creator payments?

Players can now purchase more V-Bucks for less, but your Support-A-Creator rates will remain the same. For every 2,000 V-Bucks spent, you’ll still receive $1.00 USD.

So when players spend the same amount of money in Fortnite as they have previously, creators can now earn even more when those additional V-Bucks are spent!

What if my currency is NOT supported with Epic direct payment?

As we begin to support more currencies for Epic direct payment, we will update players.
