But Fortnite Battle Royale appears to be debuting a starter pack today -- it's currently live in the UK, and we assume it will be coming stateside soon enough. The starter pack should be available on PS4, Xbox One, iOS and the Epic Store and costs $4.99. Crucially, the pack also contains 600 V-bucks, which is usually the main point of a "starter pack" like this. No matter which way it goes, the purpose of a bundle like this is to ease people into the free-to-play mindset that a game like Fortnite Battle Royale needs to survive. For longer-term players, this is just a good deal on some V-bucks, so we can expect a nice little revenue bump for Epic.
