Fortnite may soon integrate Disney +

Lately, there's been a lot of chatter about whether Fortnite Crew, a monthly subscription for the title, is worth the squeeze, especially due to price gouging for V-Bucks and the overall malaise surrounding the free-to-play live-service title.

As my colleague Josh Coulson wrote back in April:

A Fortnite season usually lasts about three months. That means $36 in membership fees, and you're getting back pretty much the same amount. 800 V-Bucks per month, which now costs $8.99, plus an 800 V-Buck Battle Pass. So, unless my math is off or something changes between now and June 6th, you won't be saving money by subscribing to Fortnite Crew.

However, it looks like some kind of recovery is coming that will make the overall membership a bit more valuable, depending on your current hobbies, Disney+, as another subscription, will be integrated in some way.

Fortnite has embraced the Italian brainroot like no video game has before.

As previously shared on Twitter by Fortnite insider HypX, a code string found in the title's files indicates some sort of integration with Disney+.

Many think it could be some kind of add-on subscription that users can access as part of their overall monthly fee.

Xbox Game Pass members stand to benefit the most

As it stands, a Disney+ subscription is $11.99, which includes ads. It's entirely possible that whatever Fortnite Crew includes will probably lack Hulu, and will be lower down. There's also the possibility that the integration is in the form of some skins or other in-game items rather than access to Disney's library.

However, the users who stand to benefit the most are Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members, as they have Fortnite Crew bundled with their membership. Any integration would make Game Pass Ultimate, which has struggled with the value-added aspect, that much more attractive.

Disney and Epic Games have a huge partnership, so keep in mind that this could all be part of their bigger plans. With Summer Game Fest right around the corner, it stands to reason that we probably won't have to wait one way or the other.
