How much is the Fortnite Battle Pass? 800 V-Bucks, the amount in Epic's $8.99 pack
The Fortnite Battle Pass costs 800 V-Bucks as of Oct. 18, 2026, and Epic's smallest V-Bucks pack in the US, 800 V-Bucks for $8.99, covers it exactly. Epic cut the price from 1,000 V-Bucks on March 19, 2026, when the Showdown season began, and shrank its V-Bucks packs the same day. Completing the Battle Pass pays back 800 V-Bucks, enough to buy the next season's pass without spending more money. The pass for Chapter 7 Season 4: Override is headlined by Sonic the Hedgehog, with Tails as a Sidekick. Fortnite Crew subscribers claim the Battle Pass rewards while subscribed, along with the OG Pass, Music Pass and LEGO Pass, Rocket Pass Premium in Rocket League and 800 V-Bucks on each billing date. Expected price for the next Battle Pass: 800 V-Bucks. That's our estimate, since Epic has charged 800 for the last three seasons and hasn't announced a change.
