This comes after Epic revealed over the Christmas break that it would be giving free copies of the co-operative shooting and construction game to certain players after there was a lot of confusion about free copies of the game included with Xbox One S bundles last year.Īccording to the Microsoft packaging, the Xbox One S Eon bundle was supposed to include an exclusive item set, 2,000 V-bucks for the in-game shop and 'a full game download of Fortnite'.įans noted that this download only included the already free Fortnite Battle Royale, though, and not the paid-for Fortnite Save the World (they're technically two different games, you see).Įpic acknowledged that the messaging was poorly worded and will be giving Save the World away for free to certain players. 'We will begin these grants with the release of v7.20 and will take several hours to complete and will continuously roll these grants out for players who have purchased the Eon Bundle.'Ĭurrent information suggests that Fortnite Save the World's 7.20 update is due to drop on January 15th - so you can expect your download codes to start rolling out from then.

This week, Microsoft and Epic have announced when players that purchased the bundles will be able to get their download codes.

Last week, we reported that people that purchased Xbox One S bundles would receive download codes for Fortnite: Save the World after there was problematic communication in marketing materials. Fortnite Save the World FREE codes: Epic's game rollout starting soon on Xbox One? (Image: EPIC)
