Fortnite’s Mixtape season hits the stage
Epic Games has dropped a new wave of rhythm and fun into Fortnite with the Festival Mixtape Music Pass. Released earlier this week, the latest pass focuses entirely on music-inspired content, giving fans a chance to collect fresh cosmetics, jam tracks, and themed rewards. The pass is live now and runs until November 29, 2025.
Unlike previous music passes, this one doesn’t feature any celebrity Icon skins. Instead, Epic is spotlighting its original designs, introducing two new Fortnite characters — Sedona and Jana Pastel. Sedona unlocks instantly when players purchase the pass, while Jana Pastel becomes available after completing all 30 tiers.
A playlist packed with big hits
What makes this Mixtape Pass stand out is its expanded lineup of licensed songs. For the first time, Epic Games has added six official jam tracks instead of the usual four. Players can perform to some of the biggest hits in pop and rock, making this season one of the most exciting yet for Fortnite’s music lovers.
Here are the six licensed tracks featured in the Mixtape Music Pass:
• Gorgeous by Doja Cat
• Champion by Fall Out Boy
• Rocket Man by Elton John
• I Love Rock n Roll by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
• In My Room by Julia Wolf
• Another Life by Motionless in White
These iconic tracks join four free Epic-original songs that players can unlock even without buying the pass, giving everyone a chance to experience Fortnite’s evolving music scene.
New instruments and emotes to collect
Along with the songs and skins, the pass comes loaded with a full collection of musical gear. Players can unlock two guitars, a bass, a mic stand, a keytar, and a glittering drum kit as they progress through the tiers. Each item adds a new way to customize performances inside the Fortnite Festival mode.
Epic has also included themed emotes like Ascend, Ride’s Here, and Very Hi-Hat, which sync perfectly with in-game music. Additional cosmetics include a range of Festival auras, loading screens, and back blings that match each of the featured skins.
A fairer trade for players
The absence of an Icon skin in this pass is balanced by the addition of more musical content than ever before. The increased number of jam tracks and creative gear gives players more value for their 1400 V-Bucks investment. Those subscribed to Fortnite Crew can also access the pass automatically as part of their membership.
The Mixtape Music Pass includes 30 tiers, and each requires two account levels to unlock, meaning players need to reach 60 account levels to complete it. This structure gives both casual and dedicated players enough time to collect all the rewards before the event ends in late November.
Building on Fortnite’s music evolution
Fortnite Festival has quickly become a standout feature of Epic’s live-service model, merging gaming with real-world music in an interactive way. Each new pass builds on this by introducing different artists and expanding the creative options for players who enjoy both rhythm and style.
The Mixtape Pass leans into this creative freedom, allowing players to not only perform as their favorite characters but also build their own virtual rockstar identities. Whether strumming on the Bone Head guitar or jamming to Elton John’s timeless Rocket Man, the season celebrates the fun side of musical expression.
Final thoughts
The Fortnite Festival Mixtape Music Pass is one of the most rewarding additions for fans who love music and cosmetics equally. It offers a vibrant mix of nostalgia, pop culture, and creative design that brings energy to every session. With licensed tracks, original skins, and plenty of instrument-based rewards, this pass feels like a must-have for anyone who enjoys Fortnite’s growing music scene.
The Mixtape Pass runs until November 29, 2025, so players have a limited window to complete it and claim all rewards before the next big Festival season begins.
