Fortnite Save the World Goes Free-to-Play April 16

Save the World is going free-to-play on April 16, welcoming even more players to join the fight on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Cloud, and Nintendo Switch 2. Grab your friends because the more players pre-register, the more in-game rewards pre-registrants get including a Save the World Hero.

As a thank you for the last nine years of world saving, current players will receive Superchargers, Vouchers, and Gold on April 16. Founders will continue earning V-Bucks through Daily Quests, Mission Alerts, Storm Shield Defense Missions, and existing Challenges.

We’re pausing new purchases of Save the World starting March 11 at 8 PM ET to prepare, but current players can still play. Brand new to the game? Community expert Beast made this guide to help:

We’re really excited to be welcoming new players into Save the World, and look forward to fighting the Storm alongside you all starting April 16.
