Epic Games 在面臨法律與營運挑戰之際調漲 V-Bucks 價格
Epic Games raises V-Bucks prices amid legal and operational challenges
2026年3月，Epic Games對其熱門遊戲《Fortnite》的經濟系統進行了重大調整。
In March 2026, Epic Games introduced a major change to the economy of its hit game, Fortnite.
自3月19日起，玩家花費同樣金額所能獲得的V-Bucks（遊戲貨幣）數量減少了，實際上等於漲價。
As of March 19, the amount of V-Bucks players receive for their money has decreased, effectively acting as a price hike.
舉例來說，原本花費8.99美元可獲得1,000 V-Bucks，現在僅能獲得800 V-Bucks。
For instance, an $8.99 purchase that previously granted 1,000 V-Bucks now provides only 800.
此調整也影響了《Fortnite》Crew訂閱服務以及多種遊戲通行證。
This adjustment also impacts the Fortnite Crew subscription and various game passes.
Epic Games解釋這項決定是為了因應日益增長的營運成本，以支持包含LEGO模式與Rocket Racing等不斷擴張的生態系統。
Epic Games explains this decision as a necessary step to cover rising operational costs for an expanding ecosystem that now includes modes like LEGO and Rocket Racing.
部分產業分析師認為，該公司正承受著與Apple和Google等科技巨頭之間長期且昂貴的反壟斷訴訟所帶來的財務壓力。
Some industry analysts suggest that the company is facing financial pressure from ongoing, costly antitrust legal battles against tech giants like Apple and Google.
儘管Epic試圖透過強調其「Epic Rewards」系統（在特定消費中提供20%回饋）來減輕衝擊，但許多玩家依然感到憤怒。
While Epic is trying to soften the impact by highlighting its "Epic Rewards" system—which offers 20% credit back on certain purchases—many players remain frustrated.
