Fortnite Festival: Season 7 Music Pass

The Battle Pass is one of Fortnite most impressive inventions. A reward system where you earn items as you level up is the perfect way to implement a paid option for fans of the free-to-play Battle Royale. Epic Games has continued to innovate from the original, so there are now four passes active at any time.

The Music Pass is one of the most popular reward options in Fortnite today, and fans are in for a treat with its newest star – Hatsune Miku. We’re going to walk you through all the items you can earn in the new Music Pass, as well as how much time you’ll have to unlock music cosmetics.

An updated Music Pass was released for Festival Season 7 on January 14 and will be available until April 8 at 3:30 a.m. Eastern Time. With over two months to collect all the dazzling cosmetics, it won’t be too difficult to get everything in the Hatsune Miku reward pass.

We don’t yet have confirmation on what the next Music Pass might contain. It will likely feature another real-world celebrity, like we received last season with Snoop Dogg. It’s not yet known if Hatsune Miku will perform a live concert during Chapter 6, but past seasons indicate that it’s a real possibility since she only just entered Fortnite today.

The Music Pass isn’t completely free, although it does include a few items you can earn for free. Hatsune Miku has a skin in the pass that you can only unlock if you purchase the premium version, but at least Epic Games included a few free items for those not interested in Festival.

If you want the paid version, you’ll have to pay 1,400 V-Bucks, but buying it now is a better deal than buying individual cosmetics from a later item shop. Fortnite Crew subscribers will find the Music Pass unlocked by default when they log in today, and the presence of Hatsune Miku adds plenty of reasons to be excited if you have the subscription.

As usual with Battle Passes, the Season 7 Music Pass requires XP to level up. You can earn experience by playing Battle Royale, Festival, Creative, or any other game mode in Fortnite. Chapter 6 introduced shared pass progression, so any XP earned outside of the Festival should carry over to your progress towards the Music Pass.

The best way to earn XP in Fortnite is to complete challenges, accessible via the “Quests” tab in the main menu. Creative mode also offers plenty of opportunities to earn shiny experience points. The Music Pass is much quicker to complete than the classic Battle Pass since it only offers a few dozen items to collect.

Epic Games has filled the Music Pass to its maximum capacity of 30 items. The Neko Hatsune Miku outfit is the most notable reward and it unlocks immediately after purchasing the new pass. It also has a secondary variant, and there are plenty of jam tracks and instruments to earn if you like collecting cosmetics.

New auras are also available in the Music Pass so you can define your personality in the Fortnite scene. There are plenty of reasons to be excited about the Season 7 Music Pass, so here are all the items you can get if you earn enough XP to complete the pass in its entirety.

Although the new Music Pass collaboration and Hatsune Miku are the biggest additions to Fortnite Festival today, Epic Games has made a few other improvements in the V33.20 update. Here’s everything you need to know if you’re a fan of the Festival.

Instruments now act as cosmetics

Instruments like guitars and microphones are now available for free as back blings and pickaxes. For those not playing at the Festival, implementing instruments as fun cosmetics adds significant value to the Music Pass. Some instruments may not convert due to their shape or size, but the recent Snoop Dogg guitar from Winterfest is now available in pickaxe form in the lockers of those who own it.

Local multiplayer for Fortnite Festival

If you can’t wait to play with your family and friends at the Fortnite Festival, Epic Games has some good news. They have finally released an option for PlayStation and Xbox players who want to enjoy the jam-packed Festival mode with those nearby. However, playing with a friend locally will still require multiple Epic Games accounts.

New music game modes

Now you can enjoy experiences that allow you to test your unique talent with specific parts of fan-favorite tracks. For example, “Drums Only” will only feature the drum section of a chosen song. New modes are available for drums, bass, vocals and lead. It’s always nice when Epic Games develops its side game modes, and Festival received a significant content update in V33.20.
