As of November 18, Fortnite Crew is now an included benefit with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. That certainly appears, on its face, like a pretty solid deal, but on the other hand, Game Pass Ultimate got a significant price bump at the same time Fortnite Crew was added, so there are some other factors you might want to take into account before signing up.
Let’s take a look at the details to see what kind of value this really is.
What you get with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Fortnite Crew
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes a large library of games for both Xbox and PC, including most titles published by Microsoft and its subsidiaries, which include Bethesda and Activision Blizzard. Yes, that includes the newly released Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. The Ultimate plan is the only version of Game Pass that is guaranteed to include new games published under the Xbox banner on day one, and it’s also the only tier to include subscriptions from two other publishers–Ubisoft Classics, and EA Play.
Fortnite Crew benefits are exactly the same if you subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate as they would be if you bought a standalone Crew subscription. You get access to the current battle pass, music pass, OG pass, and Lego Pass as long as you’re subscribed, you’ll receive 1,000 V-Bucks and a Crew skin each month you’re subscribed, and you’ll also get the premium Rocket Pass for Rocket League.
