Epic Games announces unified XP system for Fortnite battle passes.

Fortnite Unifies Battle Pass Progression with New XP System

Fortnite Expands Beyond Battle Royale: Exciting Changes Ahead

Epic Games is continuously evolving Fortnite into more than just a classic battle royale experience. In an exciting update, the gaming giant has announced significant changes aimed at enhancing player experience and streamlining progression through the game's various battle passes. Starting November 2nd, players will be able to use XP earned across different modes to progress in special passes like the Music Pass and the Lego Fortnite Pass.

Goodbye Festival Points and Studs: Hello XP!

Traditionally, XP earned through various gameplay modes in Fortnite had little to do with progressing through themed content, such as the Lego Fortnite and Music Festival. Players had to accumulate "studs" and "festival points" independently. However, as of the start of November, Epic will transition the progression system to allow players to earn XP across the modes, including the new Music Pass.

Key Dates for Transition

Here's what you need to know about the key dates concerning the upcoming changes:

  • November 2nd: Migration to XP begins with the Music Pass (previously Festival Pass). Festival points will be eliminated.
  • December 1st: The change applies to the "Brick or Treat" Lego Pass, retiring the use of studs. Additionally, battle stars in the main battle pass will no longer be a progression method.

Fortnite as a Platform

Epic Games is transitioning Fortnite into a broader platform filled with a mix of Epic- and user-created experiences. The move to allow XP usage across various passes is intended to ease the player experience amid this evolution. After almost a year since the introduction of Lego Fortnite and other events, Epic is addressing community feedback to enhance gameplay engagement.

Upcoming Features and Changes

In addition to the XP changes, players can look forward to several noteworthy updates:

  • All future Music and LEGO Passes will combine free and premium rewards, similar to the main battle pass structure.
  • Players will have the option to purchase specific rewards without grinding through levels, making it easier to obtain desired items.
  • Epic will soon offer a bundle option, allowing players to purchase all passes in a single transaction instead of separate purchases.

What’s Next for Fortnite?

This announcement comes just days before the exciting conclusion of the current Marvel-themed season, which wraps up on Saturday at 2 AM ET. Epic has already begun teasing a new live event, alongside the next season titled “Remix,” which will revisit Chapter 2's island, promising fans a nostalgic experience as they traverse Fortnite's rich history.
