![]() Although these gigs may be nothing like the real deal, it’s a great first taste for many young fans that hope to one day see their favourite artists in real life. What’s incredible is that these events are free to participate in, too. Marshmello, Travis Scott and Ariana Grande have graced the in-game virtual stage so far, with many other top DJs doing their bit on the decks on the Party Royale island, including Kaskade, Deadmau5, Diplo, Steve Aoki and Dillon Francis. Do Fortnite Concerts Cost Money?įortnite has also been known to host live concerts featuring some of the world’s most popular artists. The Battle Pass costs 950 V-Bucks, so, technically, after you’ve bought one season’s Battle Pass, it begins to pay for itself as long as you don’t buy too many other items from the Item Shop. These Battle Stars can then be used to purchase the contents of the Battle Pass, which will include skins relevant to that season’s storyline, as well as back blings, pickaxes, emotes, dances, banners, loading screens, lobby music and even a total of 1,500 V-bucks. The Battle Pass is a reward system in which the more you play, the more you level up and the more Battle Stars you earn. The cheaper skins are usually basic character models wearing something different and the more expensive skins can include real-life celebrities and superheroes, like Ariana Grande or Superman. Skins cost anywhere between 800 and 2,000 V-Bucks, depending on which ‘rarity’ level Epic assigns to them. Skins are essentially costumes for your characters and although they do not help you win the game, except in a rare few circumstances that have had to be removed or altered, they are very popular within the community. The game’s revenue comes from in-game purchases in the form of the season-by-season Battle Passes as well as skins, pickaxes, dances and emotes which, unlike most games, actually offer no competitive advantage. Interestingly, Epic Games’ cash cow ‘Fortnite’ is in fact free to download and play. Of course, they do have some other pretty popular games in their portfolio, but it’s indisputable that these funds were generated from Fortnite: Battle Royale. ‘Last man standing’ is the game, and with each game lasting just over 20 minutes at most if amongst the last few teams, it’s just addictive enough to fall into the “one more game” trap.Įpic Games, the owners and developers of Fortnite, are worth just short of $30 billion.
