How to Play Save the World in Fortnite [Step-by-Step]

Save the World can be played on any device you can access Fortnite from, and the game mode can be launched easily in just a few steps:

  1. Open the Fortnite app on whichever device you choose to play Save the World on, and log into your current Epic Games account if you’re not already signed in.
  2. From the main lobby screen, go to the option to change game modes. You can also change your team from solo to duos or quads if you choose to.
  3. From the game mode options in the ‘discover’ section, find or search for the Save the World game mode. Make sure it’s the one that states that it's by Epic Games.
  4. Select ‘play’ to launch Save the World and begin playing.

Is Save the World Mode Free to Play?


Purchasing Save the World from Epic Games webstie

No, Save the World on Fortnite is not a free-to-play mode. This feature is an add-on that can be purchased from Epic Games’ website, although it can also be purchased from the in-game Fortnite shop. In the shop, if you click on the Save the World mode, it will take you to a screen where you can input payment details. However, note that you might need to enable 2FA in Fortnite to be able to purchase Save the World, depending on the country you are in.

All in all, 20 bucks is quite a lot for a game mode, I know. Still, this investment kind of returns, as you will get Battle Stars faster in Save the World mode, and levelling up fast is something that some players might want to put some money in. But is it a better investment than some pay to win skins? Well, this is up to you and your calculations.
