Fortnite Dataminers Uncover “PriceChange” Files, Epic Games Denies Price Hike

Recent rumors regarding a potential price hike for Fortnite’s subscription service have been firmly denied by Epic Games. Despite dataminers uncovering files suggesting a “PriceChange,” the company reassured users that no adjustments will be made.
Fortnite Subscription Overview
Fortnite offers a monthly subscription known as Fortnite Crew. For approximately $12, subscribers receive several benefits:
- Access to the current battle pass
- Exclusive loot
- 1000 V-bucks each month
- Additional perks
Additionally, starting in November, Fortnite Crew will be included in the Ultimate tier of Xbox Game Pass.
Recent Findings and Epic Games’ Response
Dataminers recently discovered code lines that hinted at a potential change to the Fortnite Crew subscription. Among these lines was the message “Fortnite Crew Is Changing,” raising concerns about possible tier splits. Speculation indicated that one tier could offer Lego, Music, and OG perks, while another would not.
However, Epic Games promptly addressed these rumors through social media. A representative from one of Fortnite’s accounts stated, “Those rumors aren’t true and the price changes aren’t happening.”
Community Engagement and Additional Updates
In the midst of this speculation, Fortnite has recently introduced new features and community initiatives. One notable addition is the proximity chat, which has led to an increase in player bans over a single weekend due to inappropriate behavior.
On a more heartfelt note, Epic Games honored a player’s late sister by adding an in-game statue, bringing a poignant touch to the gaming community.
As Fortnite continues to evolve, players can look forward to weekly updates, community stories, and enriched gaming experiences.
