It was only a matter of time, but it’s now official. Epic Games has confirmed that Fortnite Crew will be integrated as an exclusive benefit within Xbox Game Pass Ultimate starting November 18, 2025, offering Microsoft subscribers full access to the premium advantages of the popular battle royale service.

The information comes directly from the statement published by Epic Games on their official website, where the company details:

Starting November 18, 2025, Fortnite Crew will be included as a benefit for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.

This means that any user with an active Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription will automatically enjoy the monthly Fortnite Crew content without any additional cost.

All the benefits of Fortnite Crew with Game Pass Ultimate

The Fortnite Crew service includes:

• The Premium Battle Pass for each season of Fortnite

• 1,000 V-Bucks per month (in-game currency)

• A monthly Crew Pack with exclusive skins and accessories

Until now, this subscription cost €11.99 per month, but starting November 18, it will become a included benefit with no additional cost within Game Pass Ultimate, along with others like EA Play and Ubisoft+ Classics.

The integration of Fortnite Crew comes shortly after the change in Xbox Game Pass pricing structure and is seen as a direct response to add more value to the Ultimate plan, especially for those who enjoy free-to-play titles with additional benefits.

The news was anticipated by Pure Xbox, where this move was already being analyzed as part of Microsoft’s new benefit strategy, focused on strengthening its appeal with third-party content.
