Fortnite is surveying some fans on the possible introduction of a monthly paid subscription.
What you’d pay for this subscription is one of the things developer Epic Games is keen to hear feedback on – with suggested options from between $5 and $16 per month.
Signing up would get you a monthly stipend of 1000 V-Bucks in-game currency (worth $8, or £6.50 here in the UK), a free skin set released early to subscribers, and the current season’s battle pass.
Presumably whenever a new season’s battle pass is released, you’d get that too. Fortnite’s seasons are typically around three months long, although this can vary considerably.
Numerous Fortnite players reported receiving the survey (thanks, Firemonkey) and there’s a generally positive response for the option. Some have suggested the price of a battle pass (£7.99) but recurring every month would not be too much, although others have pointed out 1000 V-Bucks really does not get you very much in the game at all. (Uncommon shop items cost 800, Rare cost 1200, Epic cost 1500 and Legendary cost 2000.)
