Over the past few days, numerous Fortnite Chapter 7 players have shared on social media how they’re taking advantage of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate trial period to unlock benefits that would otherwise cost much more, all completely legit and without any cheats.

The key is that Fortnite Crew is included in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, even during the trial period, which many players are using to their advantage.

How to get Fortnite benefits using the Xbox Game Pass trial

The process is simple and doesn’t require playing on an Xbox console. Here are the steps:

1. Activate the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate trial
   Microsoft has reactivated the 14-day trial for €1 for eligible users. Simply sign up on the official website or through an Xbox console. (From here)

2. Link your Epic Games account
   When you log in to Fortnite (whether on Xbox, PC, or cloud), your account is automatically linked to the Game Pass Ultimate benefits.

3. Automatic Fortnite Crew activation
   With Game Pass Ultimate active, you get Fortnite Crew without any extra cost, which includes:

   • 1,000 V-Bucks

   • Premium access to all passes: Battle Royale, LEGO, Festival, and OG

   • Exclusive monthly skin for Fortnite Crew

4. Retroactive reward unlock
   If you’ve already made progress in the free passes, all premium rewards are unlocked instantly. These rewards aren’t lost even if you cancel your subscription later.

Why so many players are taking advantage of this option

The real value of what you get far exceeds the trial cost:

• 1,000 V-Bucks are already worth around €9-10

• Premium passes and the monthly skin are kept forever

• No need to maintain the subscription after the 14-day trial

In practice, many players are getting content worth over €20 for just €1, as long as they haven’t used the trial before or don’t have any account restrictions.

A legitimate advantage… while it lasts

Neither Epic Games nor Microsoft has indicated that this is an error. It’s simply how Xbox Game Pass Ultimate benefits are currently integrated with Fortnite.

However, as with situations like this, it could change at any moment, so those who meet the requirements are taking advantage of it now. A curious opportunity that shows just how Game Pass can be profitable even for free-to-play game players.
