Fortnite Crew is a $ 12 membership that grants access to the Battle Pass and monthly V-Bucks

Developer Fortnite Epic Games is introducing a new monthly subscription for the popular Battle Royale shooter. The subscription is called Fortnite crew, and it will cost $ 12 per month and give players access to various perks, including the game’s current Battle Pass, a monthly stipend of 1,000 V-Bucks per month, and exclusive skins.

Fortnite Crew will launch alongside the start of Chapter 2 of Season 5 on December 2, Epic announced on the PlayStation Blog. As the studio explains, the membership grants players access to the game’s current Battle Pass, even if your membership expires before the end of the season. Those who sign up for Fortnite Crew after already purchasing a Battle Pass will be refunded the 950 V-Bucks to their account.

In addition to access to the Battle Pass, Fortnite Crew is giving subscribers 1,000 V-Bucks each month, in addition to any V-Bucks you can earn by upgrading this season’s Battle Pass. Additionally, Epic will be giving subscribers an exclusive Fortnite Crew Pack each month, which will contain a new skin and “at least one” corresponding glider, pickaxe, or emote. You will keep these exclusive cosmetics even if you do not reactivate your subscription.

The first Fortnite Crew Pack will include a skin for Galaxia, “Empress of the Cosmos”. The outfit will come with extra style, a Cosmic Llamacorn pickaxe and Fractured World Back Bling. Epic says players will be able to subscribe to Fortnite Crew directly from the Fortnite in-game store or the Battle Pass purchase screen after Chapter 2, Season 5 goes live.

In the meantime, Fortnite players have been busy trying to predict the end of Season 4, and it looks like the season will end with an epic battle against Galactus. The supervillain will arrive in the game as part of a special end-of-season event on December 1. The event begins at 1 p.m. PT / 4 p.m. ET, but Epic recommends that players log into the game approximately an hour before the scheduled start time; the playlist will appear approximately 30 minutes before the event.
