Key Takeaways
- Fortnite’s battle pass is going up in price to 1,000 V-Bucks next month.
- Alongside this change, Epic Games will be unveiling a standalone Fortnite OG battle pass, but there’s no word yet on pricing.
- If you’re subscribed to Fortnite Crew, you’ll get access to all four battle passes next month (counting for Music and Lego), but you’ll need to stay subscribed to retain access.
Fortnite’s battle pass is going up in price to 1,000 V-Bucks in December.
While an odd change, it still costs the same in terms of real money, as the minimum amount of V-Bucks you can buy is 1,000 for $10.
However, it’s not the only change to the battle pass system arriving next month, as there are major overhauls taking place for Fortnite Crew members.
Fortnite OG Is Getting Its Own Battle Pass
This time around, Fortnite OG will have its own unique battle pass. There’s no word yet on pricing or rewards, but Fortnite Crew subscribers will unlock it automatically, along with the standard battle pass.
Better yet, the Music and Lego battle passes (which are 1,400 V-Bucks each) will also be included in Fortnite Crew going forward, making it a far more valuable service.

We will run out of things to remake, and so we will remake the remakes.
However, you will only be able to claim battle pass rewards if you remain subscribed to Fortnite Crew, which means you need to continue paying $12 per month throughout the season to retain access to each pass.
This news follows the major overhaul in October which removed the Battle Stars system, making it so that all battle passes progress at the same time through usual XP gain. It’s safe to assume that the new OG pass will follow suit, so Crew members will be able to unlock rewards across four different battle passes at once without having to purchase them outright.
