Fortnite Xbox Game Pass Benefits

Since November 18, 2025, the Fortnite Crew subscription has been included automatically at no extra cost for anyone subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. This addition came immediately alongside Xbox Game Pass Ultimate price hikes.
With Fortnite Crew, you get access to:
All of Fortnite's premium passes (Battle Pass, OG Pass, LEGO Pass, Music Pass).
A monthly Crew Pack that includes a skin or outfit plus accessories like a glider, pickaxe, emote, and more.
1,000 V-Bucks each month to spend in Fortnite's item shop.
Premium Rocket Pass in Rocket League.
These benefits only last as long as your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription remains active. Once you cancel or stop paying for it, you'll lose access to all Fortnite Crew perks, including any premium passes you haven't completed and future monthly V-Bucks deposits.

Claiming Fortnite Crew through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is automatic. First, you need to link your Epic Games account to your Xbox account. Follow these steps:
Log in to the Epic Games website with your Epic account.
Open the Account menu from the top-right corner.
Follow the connection process to link your Xbox profile.
Once your accounts are linked and you have an active Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, the benefits should activate automatically.

The system will recognize your subscription and grant access to Fortnite Crew.
