Between console and Game Pass price hikes, there hasn't been much for Xbox owners to celebrate in 2025. The slim silver lining for those who use their Xbox to play Fortnite is that Fortnite Crew is now included with Game Pass. Even better, players have discovered a loophole that gets you beaucoup V-Bucks for $1.
Fortnite Crew is the battle royale game's subscription service. For a monthly fee, you get perks like cosmetic items, as well as V-Bucks to spend on whatever you like in the in-game store. You now get access to Crew if you have Game Pass. However, even if you were already subscribed to Fortnite Crew, subscribing to Game Pass right now gets you an additional 1,000 V-Bucks.
A pretty sweet deal all by itself, but here's where it gets even better. Xbox is currently running a deal where people can sign up to Game Pass Ultimate and pay just $1 for their first month. Not bad for a service that now costs $29.99 a month - apologies for the reminder.
Here's where that loophole comes in. As noted above, even if you're already a Fortnite Crew subscriber, you still get 1,000 V-Bucks...
