Fortnite is getting another new battle pass and its regular one is getting more expensive, but at least Crew subscriptions are about to become better value for money

Fortnite's recent surge of Battle Pass changes continues as Epic Games has announced alterations to the price and accessibility of the battle royale's premium rewards, as well as the addition of a brand new pass.

As explained in a blog post, the new pass – officially called the 'Fortnite OG Pass' – is set to be released in the future, and while no details have been given yet, it sounds like it'll tie in with the return of Fortnite OG's permanent return next month. What's more, access to the OG Pass, alongside the regular battle royale Battle Pass, Music Pass, and Lego Pass, will all be offered as part of the $12/£10 monthly Fortnite Crew subscription very soon – with the latter three passes available as benefits from December 1. 

This is a massive upgrade for Fortnite Crew, which up to this point, has offered subscribers a special Crew skin every month and the main Fortnite battle pass, amongst other things. It's not changing in price, so that's potentially way more rewards for the same amount of money, but there's a twist that might make that deal a bit less sweet for some. 

Epic Games explains that from December 1, if new subscribers unlock the battle passes through Crew, to keep unlocking premium rewards from them for the full seasons, they have to stay subscribed. For example, if you only subscribed to Crew for the first month of a battle royale season, you'd only be able to unlock Battle Pass rewards for that month while your subscription is active, rather than being able to keep progressing until the pass itself expires like you currently can.

You won't lose any rewards you've already unlocked if you don't stay subscribed, but it means that those who don't grab everything quickly might end up paying out more than they do currently in real money to make sure they get everything. Personally, I've subscribed for the occasional month here and there to grab the latest Battle Pass and pick up a new skin for £10, but the new deal isn't going to be as enticing in that
