Fortnite fans are divided about the new Star Wars crossover event. The crossover event spans the entire game universe including the Battle Royale, Lego Fortnite, Fortnite Festival and Rocket Racing modes. Now, fans are arguing over the price of the event pass, which includes a popular skin.
Some Fortnite players feel that the event pass for the Star Wars crossover event offers little value in terms of savings, while also being more expensive than the previous Star Wars pass. The upcoming Star Wars-themed event will cost players 1400 V-Bucks, which is 400 more than last year's. Last year the pass included the Coruscant Guard costume while this year will include the skin for the beloved character Chewbacca.
However, since the event pass is mainly focused on LEGO Fortnite and the pass is tied to that, some believe that the price increase of 400 V-Bucks is too much for those who don't even play that mode. It basically means that players who don't play LEGO Fortnite will get the Chewbacca skin for just the price of the pass. One user on Reddit tagged it the ''Reading Tax'' while another user feels that this mode will bring this game ''down a notch''.
Other players argue that if the Chewbacca skin were in the store it would be it usually costs them 1500 Vbucks anyway so they save some money by buying the pass. They also point that out it's a LEGO Pass rather than Battle Royale, so it will definitely have more content for LEGO Fortnite than the Battle Royale mode.
LEGO Fortnite players, on the other hand, have a more optimistic reaction to the event's passing, with one user on Reddit saying it is better and cheaper compared to other packages in the shop. They are also happy that the price of the event pass is around the same price of skin.
The Fortnite Star Wars crossover event will start on May 3rd and run until May 14th. For more on Fortnite, check out the Chapter 5 Codes for Skins, V-bucks and Free Items in Pro Game Guides.
