You do not need an Xbox Game Pass paid subscription to play Fortnite through Xbox Cloud Gaming. All you need is a free Microsoft account, high-speed Internet connection, and compatible device. Once you’re ready, go to Xbox.com/play to start playing with mobile touch controls or a supported controller. See our FAQ below for more details.
