A CLEAR STARTING POINT
Use these as prompts, then set the controls on the actual Epic account and the console or device your family uses.
Epic lets parents restrict experiences above a chosen age rating. Check the rating of the experience your child wants to enter, rather than treating Fortnite as one uniform experience.
Epic parental controls
Review friend requests, voice chat and text chat together. Epic account controls and platform controls are separate, so check both.
Epic parental controls
Epic’s parental payment PIN covers real-money purchases through Epic’s payment service. It does not cover purchases through other platform payment systems or spending V-Bucks inside Fortnite.

CURRENCY / MARCH 2026
Epic announced changes to US V-Bucks packs on March 10, 2026, effective March 19. Regional prices and purchase channels vary. Use the current checkout for an actual purchase decision.
THE DETAIL THAT MATTERS
The announcement also set the Battle Pass at 800 V-Bucks. Its Crew change was an 800 V-Bucks grant, not an 800 V-Bucks subscription price.
| US price | V-Bucks |
|---|---|
| $8.99 | 800 |
| $22.99 | 2,400 |
| $36.99 | 4,500 |
