Fortnite Battle Royale

Fortnite Save The World / Standard Edition
- The original mode of the game; a PvE co-op campaign that was in Early Access up until June 30, 2020.[2] While Epic originally mentioned that the intention was to make the mode free-to-play when was released,[5] during the release (from early access) announcement they announced that the mode would remain a premium experience rather than going free-to-play.[2]
- The Standard Edition includes the PvE co-op campaign, 7 pinata packs, and 4 in-game icons.
Deluxe Edition
- Includes everything the Standard Edition includes, along with the Starter Hero Pack and additional in-game items, consumables, and cosmetics; some of which are exclusive.
