Fortnite Releases OG Pass, Axe of Champions Available September 4

Fortnite has launched Season 5 of the OG Pass, featuring 45 new cosmetic items including a new Drift variant, various emotes, gliders, and pickaxes, available for 1,000 V-Bucks or through the Fortnite Crew subscription, though no V-Bucks are included in this pass. Meanwhile, a potential new way to stream Fortnite may be emerging, as a Discord Previews tweet suggests Fortnite could soon be playable directly within Discord voice channels via GeForce NOW, allowing users a 30-minute trial without installation, though this has not been officially confirmed. Additionally, the highly anticipated Axe of Champions 1.0, once an exclusive FNCS winner's item, will be available to all players in the Item Shop starting September 4, a move that has sparked mixed reactions from the community regarding its value and exclusivity. The new season's theme hints at an apocalyptic invasion with 'big, bad, and bugly' vibes, generating excitement and speculation among players, with some eagerly awaiting the fresh content and others expressing skepticism. Overall, Fortnite continues to innovate its gameplay experience and community engagement through new content releases, streaming developments, and the wider availability of rare cosmetics.
