Nuked Hello, my awesome tech enthusiasts! It’s your favorite funny guy, Nuked, here to bring you the latest buzz in the gaming world. Buckle up, because we’re diving into some exciting changes coming to Fortnite!
Fortnite is shaking things up with its battle passes! The game has evolved beyond just a battle royale, and Epic Games is making it easier for players to progress through different battle passes. Starting November 2nd, experience points (XP) earned in any mode will count toward advancing in these special passes.
Right now, earning XP in Fortnite doesn’t help you with the Lego Fortnite or the music-themed Fortnite Festival passes. Instead, you have to gather “studs” and “festival points” by playing those specific modes. But don’t worry—Epic is changing that!
In a blog post, Epic announced that the upcoming Music Pass (previously known as the Festival Pass) will be the first to adopt this new system. That means festival points will be a thing of the past! Then, on December 1st, the Lego Pass will also switch to using XP, retiring studs in the process. On that same day, those “battle stars” you earn in the main battle pass will also be removed.
Epic is transforming Fortnite into more than just one main mode; it’s becoming a platform filled with various Epic- and creator-made experiences. Allowing players to use XP across these different passes addresses some of the growing pains from this transition—especially after a year of experimenting with Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival.
But wait, there’s more! After December 1st, new Music and LEGO Passes will feature a track offering both free rewards and exclusive premium rewards for buyers. Plus, players will have the option to buy specific rewards directly without grinding through levels or purchasing extra levels. How cool is that?
Currently, each battle pass is a separate purchase, but Epic has promised that soon there will be a way to buy them all at once. Talk about convenience!
These announcements come just before the current Marvel-themed season wraps up this Saturday at 2 AM ET. Epic is already teasing a new live event alongside the upcoming season titled “Remix,” which will take us back to the Chapter 2 island for another nostalgic trip through Fortnite’s history.
So gear up for some thrilling changes ahead! Until next time, keep gaming and remember: technology is always evolving—just like our favorite battle royale!
