Here is everything you need to know.
Fortnite V-Bucks will cost less in Mexico, but more in the other regions
Epic Games has decided to change the price of V-Bucks due to many economic factors, including inflation and currency fluctuations. Since the company is located in the United States, the exchange rate plays a major role in V-Bucks pricing.
Starting on July 17, these will be the new prices for Fortnite V-Bucks and a few other items.

| Canada | Canadian Dollar | CAD $5.99 | CAD $23.99 | CAD $11.39 | CAD $11.99 | CAD $29.99 | CAD $47.99 | CAD $119.99 |
| Mexico | Mexican Peso | MXN $79 | MXN $319 | MXN $151 | MXN $159 | MXN $399 | MXN $649 | MXN $1629 |
Some other packs, such as Magma Masters, Dark Reflections, and Lava Legends will also have their prices adjusted. However, the Fortnite Crew subscription price will remain the same.
Players from the United Kingdom will pay approximately 8% more for V-Bucks, while Canadian players will have to spend 10% more money on in-game purchases. Fortunately for Mexican players, their prices have gone down by approximately 4%.
