While Fortnite is free to play in its online multiplayer mode, the game is monetized via skins and other items that are sold in-game.
These items don't give players any advantage in the game. However, as Fortnite has continued to partner with popular media properties such as Marvel and Star Wars, players have spent billions of dollars each year in Fortnite in order to play as their favorite characters.
However, some items can only be locked via Fortnite's Battle Pass.
Every few months, Fortnite starts a new season with new characters, new maps, and new additional features. Players can purchase a Battle Pass for that season, and they can then complete quests to earn XP, level up, and unlock more than 100 exclusive rewards during that season.
But, previously if a player missed out on gaining enough XP by the time the Battle Pass ended, they would permanently lose out on being able to access items that were locked beyond their level in the Battle Pass.
If someone was completely new to Fortnite, that means they permanently missed out on ever being able to play as character skins that were part of previous Battle Pass seasons such as Optimus Prime or Darth Vader.
According to the Fortnite Team, this was one of the major factors in their decision to change the exclusivity of items in future Battle Pass offerings.
Why allow Fortnite players another chance?
"One reason for this change is that we want players down the road to enjoy Battle Pass content such as Outfits based on popular licensed characters," reads the statement. "While there is no guarantee that a Battle Pass item will come to the Shop after this change, IP content from future Battle Passes might come to the Shop at least 18 months after the Battle Pass expires."
It's unclear if this means that previous Battle Pass outfits and items are still forever unobtainable by those who missed out. Mashable has reached out to Epic Games for more information on this.
However, it is clear that going forward some Battle Pass items will no longer be exclusive. The purpose of the Battle Pass rewards will now be the guarantee of getting those items and the lower 950 V-Bucks price point to try and unlock them all.
Fortnite is still a massively popular game with hundreds of millions of active players. But, the number of players that Fortnite has at any given time seems to ebb and flowwith that particular season's offerings. Perhaps, this change will interest some new players who were previously turned off because they missed out on the Battle Pass that would've let them unlock their favorite characters.
