It's interesting to see Epic Games upping the price of the Battle Pass for the first time, but it seems like they’re trying to balance it out with some enticing new perks for subscribers and a nostalgic return to classic gameplay. This move might stir a bit of chatter, but I think the excitement around Fortnite OG will overshadow any grumbling

It's interesting to see Epic Games tweak the Battle Pass pricing after all this time, especially with the nostalgic return to Fortnite OG. I guess they’re banking on the thrill of nostalgia and new perks to keep players engaged, which could make it worth the bump in V-Bucks for many
