Fortnite unveils a huge battle pass change that makes every mode worth playing

Fortnite just made a massive change to its battle pass system, and it’s a game changer—literally.

Fortnite’s modes used to feel like completely separate planets, with Battle Royale as the center of the universe. LEGO Fortnite got its battle pass (thanks to a Star Wars collaboration for the boost), and Fortnite Festival had one all-star pass for.

Different modes meant different battle sessions, with progress locked to each. But that is about to change.

As of December 1st, Fortnite’s battle pass system will be complete united. Experience earned in all modes – from Festival to LEGO Fortnite – will count towards each pass you own.

Fortnite Battle Pass EXP shared

It starts on November 2 with the new Musikpasset, formerly known as the Festival Pass. After that, the LEGO Pass joins the fun, just in time for the holiday season, with the Brick or Treat LEGO Pass.

No more grinding Battle Royale endlessly if that’s not your jam. You can now collect XP in all modes and still unlock rewards.

That doesn’t mean all battle passes are uniform in terms of price. Epic Games clarifies, “You must still purchase the Battle Pass, Music Pass, and/or LEGO Pass separately to access premium rewards in each pass.”

But the team also wanted to make them easily accessible with “a way to get all the premium passes at once.” This may mean that you can get a discount if you buy all three.

This is good news for everyone. It encourages players to try new modes without feeling like they are wasting their time. Haven’t touched LEGO Fortnite? Now you might, if only to grab those sweet rewards without wading through something you don’t like. It’s an incentive to explore without sacrificing development.

And when Fortnite ends the eerie Fortnitmares and prepares for its nostalgia-packed “Remix” season, things look pretty bright.

The second OG season is right around the corner, and with this stroke pass change, every mode is suddenly worth your time.
