Starting in December 2024, the Fortnite Crew subscription will expand to include the new OG Pass, the main Battle Pass, and the upcoming Music Pass and Lego Pass, all priced at 1400 V-Bucks each.

The standard Battle Pass price will increase from 950 V-Bucks to 1,000 V-Bucks, although players historically earn back more V-Bucks than they spend if they level up sufficiently.

Overall, while there are mixed implications for players, the changes are generally viewed positively, offering more rewards and potential savings for active subscribers.

Epic Games is simplifying Fortnite's pass progression systems, allowing all passes to progress simultaneously by earning XP from any gameplay experience.

Fortnite is set to launch Chapter 6, rumored to feature a Japanese theme inspired by mythology, including temples and samurai bosses.

The launch times for Chapter 6 will vary by region, with significant times including 7 a.m. PT and 9 a.m. CT on December 1.

The current season, Chapter 2 Remix, will conclude on November 30, 2024, paving the way for the new content.

Additionally, the Winterfest 2024 event will begin on December 10, featuring the return of the popular Winterfest cabin.

Players will retain previously unlocked rewards upon unsubscribing, although this may lead to higher costs for those who prefer gradual unlocking.

Existing subscribers who remain continuously subscribed before December 1 will not be affected by the new cancellation policy.

Active subscribers will have access to rewards, while those who cancel their subscription will keep any premium rewards obtained until cancellation.

This price hike reflects broader inflation trends affecting various sectors, including video games.
