Fortnite's New Peak Skin Costs Twice As Much As The Indie Game
Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- Epic Games introduced Peak-themed skins in Fortnite through a partnership with Peak developer Aggro Crab, featuring a customizable scout skin and backpack.
- The basic Peak Scout skin costs 2,000 V-Bucks, roughly $20, which is more than double the $8 price of the Peak game on Steam.
- Currently, Peak is on sale for $5 during Steam's Spring Sale, making the Fortnite skin more expensive than four copies of the actual game.
- This pricing discrepancy has drawn criticism online, highlighting the high cost of in-game cosmetics compared to the original indie game.
- Fans hope that Aggro Crab receives a fair share of the revenue from these Fortnite skin sales.
