Changes to Item Exclusivity in Future Fortnite Battle Passes

From now on, exclusive items from Fortnite Battle Passes may become available for purchase in the Item Shop 18 months after the corresponding Battle Pass ends. This also includes the possibility of adding a varying number of Alternate Styles for items whenever they are introduced to the Shop.

This change allows Epic Games to continue investing in innovative and exciting rewards for Battle Passes while giving players the opportunity to access popular content in the future, such as outfits based on licensed characters. This approach ensures that the benefits of the Battle Pass remain attractive, with pages of unlockable rewards that can be used across various experiences within Fortnite. Progression through the Battle Pass will continue to be earned by playing any mode that grants XP.
