As rumored, Fortnite developer Epic Games is introducing a new monthly subscription for the popular battle royale game. The subscription is called Fortnite Crew, and it will cost $12 USD a month and give players access to the game's current Battle Pass, extra V-Bucks each month, and other perks.

Fortnite Crew launches alongside the start of Chapter 2, Season 5 on December 2, Epic announced on the PlayStation Blog. As the studio explains, the subscription gives players access to the game's current Battle Pass, even if your subscription lapses before the season ends. Those who sign up for Fortnite Crew after they've already purchased a Battle Pass will have the 950 V-Bucks refunded to their account.

In addition to Battle Pass access, Fortnite Crew gives subscribers 1,000 V-Bucks each month, on top of any V-Bucks you can earn while leveling up that season's Battle Pass. Additionally, Epic will gift subscribers an exclusive Fortnite Crew Pack each month, which will contain a new skin and "at least one" matching glider, pickaxe, or emote. You'll keep these exclusive cosmetics even if you don't re-up your subscription.
