Don't forget to claim your new Xbox Game Pass perk

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Customers can now claim Fortnite Crew with their membership, and they should make sure to do so each month. Microsoft's recent Xbox Game Pass price hike wasn't a popular move, but on the bright side, it added more benefits for customers to enjoy.

The Game Pass Ultimate price increase to $29.99 per month means members can enjoy more games with a promised 75+ days a game over the next year. The Game Pass Ultimate price increase also coincided with the arrival of Ubisoft-published titles and other games, so while it was a tough pill to swallow for many, at least the increase didn't come without additional benefits.

Rocket Pass Premium is also included with Fortnite Crew, so Rocket League Players also have reason to claim.

Game Pass Ultimate members can enjoy the current Fortnite Seasons and future seasons with all content coming as part of Fortnite Crew.
