From Saturday, December 5, 2026, every Fortnite Crew member gets at least 1,000 V-Bucks a month instead of 800, and up to 1,600 after 12 months. The monthly Crew Pack Outfits stop after the December pack. The price stays at $11.99 USD a month. That is what Epic announced on November 4.
The new V-Bucks tiers
| Tier | Months subscribed in a row | V-Bucks per month |
|---|---|---|
| Core | 1 to 2 | 1,000 |
| Bronze | 3 to 5 | 1,200 |
| Silver | 6 to 11 | 1,400 |
| Gold | 12 or more | 1,600 |
Until December 5, every member gets 800 V-Bucks a month, according to Epic.
Your tier depends on how many months in a row you have been subscribed within the past 12 months. Epic’s own example: if you subscribed on June 15 and stayed subscribed, you reach 7 months on your December 15 billing date and land in Silver.

If you have been subscribed before
- Resubscribe between December 6 and December 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET: your starting tier counts your most recent continuous subscription in the past 12 months. Epic’s example: a 3-month run earlier in the year starts you at Bronze with 1,200 V-Bucks.
- Resubscribe after December 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET: you start at Core, no matter what you had before.
- Subscribed now: you do not need to do anything. Check the new Crew tab in the game on December 5 to see your tier.
Legacy Styles
Epic will grant all Legacy Styles for Crew Packs you own (Outfits, Pickaxes and Back Blings) in December, whether you are subscribed or not. Subscribers get the final December Crew Pack throughout December.
XP boost rules
Crew boosts do not stack. Several Crew members in one party do not add up, and a player without Crew gets one +10% boost no matter how many Crew members are in the party.
Passes through the end of 2026
| Date | Pass |
|---|---|
| Thursday, November 12 | Music Mini-Pass (Kasane Teto) |
| Saturday, December 5 | LEGO Mini-Pass |
| Saturday, December 5 | Fortnite Battle Pass |
Epic says Music and LEGO passes go back to their regular size after these two mini-passes and come out more often.
