- The purchase of V-Bucks using the PC or Mobile PC Games Payment Service now grants an epic 20% rewards rate
- This gives a 20% return as credit for each transaction
- The company has also announced an epic rewards rate for a limited time for the purchases of the epic game store
Epic Games has revealed that those who buy Fortnite The currency in the game using the editor’s own payment service on PC or Mobile will now benefit from an epic rewards rate of 20%.
This gives a 20% back on each purchase, which could then save to spend even more on V-Bucks in the future, allowing you to get your skins more sought after less.
To give it a practical example of what this means, buying 2,800 V-Bucks for $ 22.99 / AU $ 29.95 using the payment system of the epic game store will give you $ 4.60 / AU $ 5.99 in Epic Rewards. Do that twice and you can get 1,000 V-Bucks additional (usually $ 8.99 / AU $ 11.95) effectively for free.
This is absolutely fantastic and one of the most generous reward systems I have seen in games so far. However, it is no coincidence that this announcement is presented to the expected return of Fortnite to the US iOS Application Store.
It follows a historical decision that allows application developers to link payments in external application stores, without delivering any commission to Apple. The lack of commission, which is generally 30%, means that Epic Games can transmit some of the savings to consumers through this program and at the same time increase the income it receives from each transaction.
Apart from Fortnite, This 20% rate will apply to purchases in other epic games titles such as Rocket League and Fall Guys.
The company has also announced that purchases in the Epic Games store using the EPIC payment system will receive 20% of increased epic rewards (above the usual 5%) for a limited time. This is in place until August 31 and includes games of companies distributed through the store.
