Fortnite is coming to Xbox PC Store
Players can now play fortnite games on Xbox using the Xbox Game Pass
Fortnite is finally coming to the Xbox PC store, and yes, you’ll be able to launch it without touching the Epic Games Launcher. If you’ve ever sighed deeply while waiting for the Epic launcher to wake up from sleep mode, this might feel like a small but meaningful upgrade.
Starting November 18th, Fortnite will officially be available inside the Xbox app on PC. So if you already live inside the Xbox ecosystem using Xbox apps, syncing progress, jumping between devices this just makes everything smoother. No more hopping between launchers, no more extra steps. Just open Xbox on PC and drop straight into a match.
And that’s not the only cross-platform goodness coming. Fortnite is also joining Microsoft’s Xbox Play Anywhere program, which basically means your progress, skins, and purchases follow you across Xbox consoles, PC, and supported handhelds. So if you’re using an Xbox Ally or the newer Ally X, your battle pass grind stays perfectly synced. Switch device, keep playing. Easy.

There’s one more perk dropping on the same day: Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will get Fortnite Crew for free. If you’re already paying for Ultimate, this is a solid bonus: you’ll get the monthly Crew skin, 1,000 V-Bucks, and access to all the battle passes without paying extra. For anyone who plays Fortnite even semi-regularly, this is a pretty good deal.
Microsoft is steadily turning the Xbox ecosystem into the most convenient place to play Fortnite outside of a console. By pulling the game into the Xbox PC store, enabling full cross-progress with Play Anywhere, and bundling Fortnite Crew into Game Pass Ultimate, Xbox is positioning itself as the simplest all-in-one home for Fortnite players, especially those bouncing between PC, console, and handheld. This isn’t just about adding a game to a store; it’s about making Xbox the easiest way to live inside Fortnite’s universe.
