Fortnite Crew gets “shrinkflation”: monthly V-Bucks grant drops from 1,000 to 800

Epic confirmed Fortnite Crew’s monthly V-Bucks grant will change to 800 (with Battle Bundle pricing also adjusted).

What it means for gamers: if Crew is your “set-and-forget value bundle,” you’ll want to re-check whether it still matches how you spend. It won’t matter to everyone, but subscription tweaks like this always change the vibe (and the math).
