One of the coolest things about being a veteran of an online game is the seasonal items you earn throughout your lifespan — whether through the battle pass, drops, or even by purchasing skins in the store. Well, if you play Fortnite since its beginnings, know that Epic Games’ battle royale will lose this uniqueness very soon.
Epic Games announced last Wednesday (07) that 18 months after the end of a season pass, some items from it will be sold in the store. Fortnite. This includes skins, back bling, pickaxes, emotes, instruments, stickers, wraps, loading screens, and banner icons.

In a Q&A on the post, Epic Games confirmed that not all items are guaranteed to make it to the store after 18 months. “Store selection depends on a variety of factors, and there is no guarantee that a Battle Pass item will make it to the store after this change goes into effect. If a future item is never available outside of the pass, we will let you know.”
New strategy will give future players chances to get licensed items in Fortnite
According to the company, the intention with the change is that new players will be able to enjoy the contents of these old battle passes — as well as licensed items from other franchises. However, the new versions that will be sold in the store will have variations in styles — and this will depend on a case-by-case basis.
“The reason for this change is that we want players to be able to enjoy Battle Pass content, such as outfits based on popular licensed characters,” Epic Games said in a post. “While there is no guarantee that a Battle Pass item will make it to the store after this change, IP content from future Battle Passes may make it to the store at least 18 months after the Battle Pass expires.”
