Fortnite Crew to add LEGO and Music Passes at no extra cost

Fortnite's monthly subscription service, Fortnite Crew, will receive a massive update beginning on Dec. 1. Members currently receive an exclusive skin, V-Bucks, and the monthly Battle Pass for $11.99 per month. With the launch of Fortnite Chapter 6, Epic Games has announced that Crew subscribers will also receive the game's LEGO and Music Passes at no additional charge. This adjustment instantly increases the value of Fortnite Crew, and here's everything you need to know about it.

Following the announcement that all Pass progression will happen simultaneously beginning in Chapter 6, Epic Games has taken this one step further. On Dec. 1, Fortnite Crew members will automatically receive access to the LEGO and Music Passes at no extra cost. That means the value of Fortnite's monthly service has increased exponentially. Normally, a change of this magnitude would constitute a price change, but Epic has revealed Fortnite Crew will remain at $11.99 per month.

As of Dec. 1, Fortnite Crew members will unlock the following:

Fortnite's LEGO and Music Passes are somewhat recent additions, stemming from the LEGO and Festival game modes. Epic Games has collaborated with numerous popular musicians such as Snoop Dogg, Lady Gaga, The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, and more for its Festival game mode.

Another tidbit to take away from Epic's Fortnite Crew announcement is that the upcoming permanent return of Fortnite OG will include its own Battle Pass, called the OG Pass. We've seen this before in the original Fortnite OG season, but each rotational Fortnite OG season will have a separate Battle Pass. This update to the subscription service will also extend to the OG Pass, giving you four Fortnite Passes for $11.99.

Epic rounded out its blog post by stating the price of V-Bucks from a Battle Pass standpoint will increase on Dec. 1. Rather than the usual cost of 950 V-Bucks, players can expect to pay 1,000 V-Bucks for each seasonal Battle Pass. Additionally, the 25 Battle Pass Reward Bundle will be 1,800 V-Bucks instead of 1,850 V-Bucks, while the Battle Bundle will cost you 2,800.

It's worth noting that the LEGO and Music Passes will remain 1,400 V-Bucks each for those who don't subscribe to Fortnite Crew.

When addressing whether the Fortnite Crew was worth the cost, we believed it came down to the player. If you enjoy skins and additional V-Bucks while playing the game enough, the service pays for itself. That is still the case, but to an even more significant extent. These extra perks paired with simultaneous progression means you receive rewards from four Passes for only $11.99.

The value represented in Fortnite Crew beginning on Dec. 1 is worth considering for most players, but that decision comes down to what you enjoy most.
