    It is still totally free to play, but there is the battle pass and you can pay a monthly subscription to get a skin, coins, and the battle pass for free.

      and the battle pass for free

      Pretty sure that’s the opposite of “free” mate

        You can get the battlepass through in-game money (950 v-bucks/season). I was gifted my first battlepass and a skin by stream mates years ago and I haven’t paid a single cent to Fortnite.

        However you want to phrase it mate, it is included in the subscription.

          But you pay for the subscription, which includes the battle pass , a skin and some coins.

          Like i pay for my shopping, which includes a block of cheese, some bread and butter. But it’s totally free to eat…

            This person literally just means “for no additional charge” but typed free. They understand, they just don’t care. This is just unnecessary and pedantic.

              Ok. It’s not what they said, but if you are sure they meant what you are saying, then fine. I understand.

              I just prefer when people say what they mean and own a mistake when they are called out on it.

                It’s a common shortcut in at least some parts of the US to say “I paid for X and got Y for free” … everybody knows it really wasn’t “for free”. It’s just easier than “and got Y for no additional charge”, “and they didn’t charge me anything extra for Y”, etc.

              A similar tactic has Amazon in legal crosshairs. Free shipping for prime members is now being seen in a different light.
