Over the past few days, numerous Fortnite Chapter 7 players have shared on social media how they are taking advantage of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate trial period to unlock advantages that would otherwise cost much more. All of this is being done completely legitimately 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 advantages using the Xbox Game Pass trial

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

1. Activate the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate trial
   Microsoft has reactivated the offer of 14 days for 1 € for eligible users. Simply subscribe from the official website or from an Xbox console. (From here)

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

3. Automatic activation of Fortnite Crew
   With Game Pass Ultimate active, Fortnite Crew is unlocked at no extra cost, which includes:

   • 1,000 V-Bucks

   • Access to all premium passes: Battle Royale, LEGO, Festival, and OG

   • Exclusive monthly skin for Fortnite Crew

4. Retroactive unlocking of rewards
   If you had already progressed through the free passes, all premium rewards are unlocked instantly. These rewards are not lost even if you cancel your subscription afterwards.

Why so many players are taking advantage of this option

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

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

• The premium passes and monthly skin are kept forever

• There’s no need to maintain the subscription after the 14 days

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 restrictions on their account.

A legitimate advantage… for now

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

However, as is often the case with these situations, 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.
