Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers who recently saw a price increase will soon get an added benefit: the Fortnite Crew subscription. Starting November 18, 2025, Ultimate members will receive the Fortnite battle pass, 1,000 V-Bucks each month, and other in-game perks. Since Fortnite Crew usually costs $12 a month, this offers savings for those who already subscribe separately.
In addition, Xbox announced that Fortnite is coming to PC and will support Xbox Play Anywhere, meaning players can access it on both their consoles and PCs. This is especially good news for owners of the new ROG Xbox Ally handheld, as they’ll be able to download and play Fortnite directly without needing the Epic Games Store launcher.
Xbox Play Anywhere support comes at an interesting time
Fortnite’s recent release with Xbox Play Anywhere is notable because Xbox is really pushing this feature, letting players access games across different devices. They’re even expanding Play Anywhere to other games, like bringing DOOM: The Dark Ages to Blizzard’s Battle.net.
According to Windows Central, an Xbox preview event focused on Play Anywhere games is planned for November.
Interestingly, this comes around the same time Valve announced the Steam Machine, a console-like device similar to the Steam Deck. While the Steam Machine has benefits – including access to games from Xbox and PlayStation – its operating system may cause issues with anti-cheat software. This means popular games like Apex Legends, Call of Duty, and Fortnite may not work on the Steam Machine, at least initially.
Will Xbox players subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate for Fortnite Crew?
I previously explained that the changes to Xbox Game Pass made logical sense – Xbox was trying to address the issue of games dominating players’ time. However, I doubted the changes would be effective. I still feel that way, but I’m interested to see how it plays out. If you have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or frequently play Fortnite, please tell me if you plan to try out the new combined offering.
