The Fortnite Festival Pass is a battle pass that can give players possible rewards as they play matches along the way. Players can earn Festival Points by completing various quests and achieving certain milestones in the game.

By gaining Festival Points, players can unlock the possible rewards from the Festival Pass. In total, 11,000 Festival Points are needed to earn all the rewards, both for the free and premium versions.
