Fortnite developer Epic Games has announced a platform-wide slash on the price for V-Bucks, the in-game currency used in its battle royale. Players will now be able to buy them for less, with up to 20% off.

The discount isn't time limited. Instead Epic Games is making the change permanent, but with a few caveats on some platforms. If you play Fortnite on PC or console--be it Xbox One, PS4, or Nintendo Switch--you won't need to change a thing. The new prices will reflect from today and work with any of your payment methods.
