The global economy is currently on a downward spiral, and interestingly, this downturn appears to have extended its reach into the virtual realm of gaming.
According to an announcement from Epic Games, Fortnite V-Bucks and Fall Guys Show-Bucks, the in-game currencies for Fortnite and Fall Guys, are getting more expensive in certain regions. The price changes, effective July 13, are attributed to "economic factors like inflation and currency fluctuations" and will affect players in the United Kingdom, Canada, and Mexico.
UK and Canadian players will need to brace themselves for higher prices, but there's good news for gamers in Mexico, as they can look forward to slightly lower prices.
Here's a breakdown of all the affected items:

Intrepid Engines Pack (starting July 19) - £3.49/ CAD $5.99/ MXN $79
