As for Fortnite’s V-bucks, the in-game currency is used by players to purchase items and “skins” for their characters, as well as a “Battle Pass” that gives them access to specific challenges and more items. 1,000 V-bucks are sold for about $9.99.
Fortnite itself is a popular third-person shooter that in a short amount of time conquered millions of players throughout the world. The game’s creator, North Carolina-based Epic Games, recently raised $1.25 billion in a financing round that valued the firm at $15 billion.
