Fortnite Crew- What's Included, How To Sign Up, And How To Cancel

by admin Games News

Fortnite Crew is the monthly subscription pack that gives Fortnite fans additional and exclusive content for as long as they’re subscribers. It premiered in December of 2020 and since then has seen the release of original characters–and even some crossover characters–that fans can’t access any other way. This makes Fortnite Crew a desirable item for some Fortnite players, but whether you’re looking to sign up or cancel your subscription, here’s how you can do those things, plus what you get when you’re a subscriber.

What comes with a Fortnite Crew subscription

Fortnite Crew perks have fluctuated a little bit in the program’s first year, but several perks have also been mainstays. Guaranteed with each monthly subscription are the following perks:

  • Fortnite Crew Pack
  • 1,000 V-Bucks every month
  • Guaranteed access to the active battle pass

The Crew Pack is usually a single character, plus several accessories such as back bling, a pickaxe, and a glider. The contents of the character’s cosmetic set can vary from month to month–some get loading screens while others do not, for example. So far, there have been two licensed crossover characters, while all others have been Fortnite original characters. The crossovers include DC Comics’ Green Arrow and Marvel’s Loki. It’s likely more crossovers will be released via the Fortnite Crew too.

Sometimes, Fortnite Crew includes other perks. For example, in the first half of 2021, a Fortnite Crew subscription also included a Spotify Premium free trial for a limited time. In the fall of 2021, Fortnite Crew members who subscribed from September through November would unlock bonus styles for all three of the characters they’d receive during that span. This also tied into Fortnite lore, as this trio became known as the First Shadows, AKA the original recruits of GHOST leader Midas.

How to sign up for Fortnite Crew

You can subscribe to Fortnite Crew from inside the game itself. Simply navigate to the game’s settings menu and look for the Fortnite Crew option. Inside, you’ll be given a prompt to sign up if you haven’t yet, as well as an overview of what’s on offer for the current Fortnite Crew Pack. A monthly subscription costs $12, though so do many characters, especially the elaborate ones you’ll find in Crew Packs. That alone seems to pay for itself, and if you find yourself spending additional V-Bucks each month, the 1,000 V-Bucks deposit is really a nice bonus too, on top of the battle pass.

In total, you’re getting roughly $30 of in-game content each month for $12. Naturally, it’s $12 you may not have spent otherwise, so the consideration you have to make is whether you’re saving money by signing up for Fortnite Crew, or just spending additional money in new ways. Then again, for some players, spending totals aren’t as important as unlocking exclusive Fortnite skins–understandably.

How to cancel Fortnite Crew

If you find yourself wanting out of a Fortnite Crew subscription, it’s relatively easy, though not as easy as it surely could be. Like a lot of subscription-based merchants, Epic provides a few hoops to jump through in order to quit its program.

To cancel Fortnite Crew, use the platform on which you first signed up. For example, if you signed up on Xbox (like I did), you can’t cancel your subscription on PC or PS5. You’ll need to head to the platform that first took your money, then find the payment and billing options on the system-side menus. In there, you’ll be able to see which recurring subscriptions you’re currently paying into, such as Xbox Game Pass, PS Now, or Apple One Come from Sports betting site VPbet . You’ll also see Fortnite Crew–assuming you’re on the correct platform.

From there, you can elect to stop recurring payments, at which point you’ll cancel your Fortnite Crew subscription immediately, though you’ll continue to receive its perks until your billing date. You do keep your V-Bucks, Crew Packs, and battle pass access, so there’s really nothing you’ll lose except for future Crew access. You can always sign up again later too.

How Microsoft Could Close The Activision Deal In The UK

by admin Games News

After its court victory against the Federal Trust Commission on July 11, Microsoft’s plan to acquire Activision Blizzard just took a huge step forward. The deal still faces a few challenges, and in the UK, Microsoft still has to appease the Competition and Markets Authority. To do this, Microsoft may give up control of its cloud-gaming business in that region as it seeks to close the deal before the July 18 deadline.

According to a Bloomberg report, Microsoft could sell off the cloud-based market rights for games in the UK to a telecommunications firm. “It’s all quite debatable, but I believe the most likely route to allowing the deal to close by Tuesday is for the CMA to issue a derogation from its interim order,” said competition lawyer and ex-CMA legal director Tom Smith, who referred to the UK regulator’s previous decision that forced Microsoft and Activision Blizzard to remain separate entities in that region. “They could allow the deal to close but require the Activision Blizzard business to be held separate pending the final order. The CMA would look reasonable while preserving its position.

As Microsoft looks to complete its bid to purchase Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion, one of the other hurdles that it has to clear is an antitrust trial that the FTC will hold on August 2. The FTC is also appealing the court case and US district judge Jaqueline Scott Corley’s decision, who disagreed with the FTC’s argument that the acquisition would be sufficiently anti-competitive. A decision on the appeal is expected very soon, as the restraining order preventing Microsoft from closing the deal in the US only runs through July 14. If The FTC’s appeal isn’t granted, then the regulator’s temporary restraining order will expire at 11:59PM PT on July 14, which leaves the door open for Microsoft to close the deal in the next few days. Microsoft has until July 18 to complete its acquisition, or it’ll be liable to pay a $3 billion breakup fee to Activision Blizzard if an extension isn’t granted.

Dozens of other countries have approved the deal, and after Microsoft’s US court victory, company president Brad Smith said that attention would shift back to the UK. In a procedural move, the CMA extended its deadline for issuing a legally final order on the deal to August 29.

The CMA has also paused its litigation and Microsoft’s appeal has been halted for now. “Microsoft and Activision have agreed with the CMA that a stay of litigation in the UK would be in the public interest and the parties have made a joint submission to the Competition Appeal Tribunal to this effect,” Smith said.
