Good news for U.S. gamers: Fortnite Crew is officially bundled with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Premium tiers. This crossover lets subscribers unlock exclusive Fortnite Crew rewards—including monthly skins, 1,000 V-Bucks, and the current season’s Battle Pass—without paying separately.
With Microsoft rolling out a recent Game Pass price increase, players naturally want to know whether this new perk justifies the higher monthly cost.
What’s Included with Fortnite Crew in Game Pass
By subscribing to Ultimate or Premium, you’ll get:
- Monthly Fortnite Crew Pack with an exclusive outfit and matching accessories
- 1,000 V-Bucks each month
- Access to the current Battle Pass (if you don’t already own it)
- All standard Game Pass perks, including cloud gaming and day-one titles
If you’re browsing the Game Pass Premium Game List, Fortnite Crew now sits alongside other add-ons and extra rewards that Premium subscribers can claim.
How to Claim the Fortnite Crew Membership
- Make sure you’re subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or Premium.
- Open Fortnite on Xbox, PC, or cloud through Game Pass.
- Log in with the same Microsoft account linked to your Game Pass subscription.
- Head to the Item Shop → Fortnite Crew tab → Claim.
- Your monthly rewards will appear instantly in your Fortnite Locker.
Choosing Between Premium and Ultimate
Not sure which tier is best for you? Compare Game Pass Premium vs Ultimate before upgrading.
- Ultimate includes cloud gaming, day-one releases, EA Play, and now Fortnite Crew.
- Premium adds an even larger game catalog plus more in-game rewards.
The inclusion of Fortnite Crew makes Ultimate a strong option for Fortnite fans, but Premium may appeal to players who want the full library of bonus titles.
Final Word
The addition of Fortnite Crew sweetens the value of Game Pass—especially for players who were already paying for Crew separately.
However, with the recent Game Pass price increase, it’s worth comparing your gaming habits against the benefits of each tier.
