Well, this is good timing. I can imagine this selling a lot especially when kids don't need a subscription to play F2P games.

then again fortnite is currently in the news for putting some 9 year old girl into rehab for addiction and has essentially been the basis for the world health organisation to declare gaming addiction to be a recognized mental illness.

EDIT: also, i would assume this is the full fledged fortnite (the co-op survival horde thing). which isn't free to play?

RoKKeR · Jun 22, 2018

Well this is awkward.

Sure it'll sell a shot load though.

Bundle, but it's a free-to-play game... This seems like the worst bundle (value wise) they've released.

How much is 500 V-Bucks worth?

$5

Hey, you can buy an emote or a mediocre looking glider with that.

Bishop89 · Jun 22, 2018

does it say 'PS PLUS NOT REQUIRED' on the box?

That's not even a question that's a fact

Yup very well played indeed.

Sony is going to sell insane numbers of consoles this holiday.

Spider-Man bundle
RDR bundle
Fortnite bundle

Just wow lol

Ponn · Jun 22, 2018

I'm really interested in seeing the numbers on this bundle sales.

Spades · Jun 22, 2018

Bundling a F2P game with a console. Genius.

Gta 5 had a Ps3 and a Ps4 bundle for sure they'll have a RDR2 bundle.

fortnite isn't free to play. the BR mode is. i assume this bundles the former.

Doesn't COD always gets a very delayed bundle?

Yup just crazy good. Ok Sony will win the rest of the years NDP easy.

Jake2byFour · Jun 22, 2018

The op should includes both PVP and PVE, so people won't assume its just the BR mode in the bundle

It's the biggest game in the world at the moment, so obviously it will push consoles.
No need to be sarcastic about it.

Does it include crossplay with other consoles?

It includes crossplay with PC and mobile.

I guess sales of this bundle will be an indicator of how much the general public give a fuck about cross progression.

Some of the loudest voices on here are going to surprised by the results for sure.

Yup. Now, I wonder do they actually advertise that it doesn't need Plus. If they do, my god...

Alot of players still don't realize it's free. They should really start putting that out there.

If it is the biggest game in the world, then everyone would know that it is free.

EkStatiC · Jun 22, 2018

I am baffled by the console gamers.
All of them are bying and love their consoles because exclusives but at the same time they want "cross play". I can't understand.

Wow so you get the Bomber skin and Save The World and 500 v-bucks?

That's actually a really good deal if the PS4 is normal price.

Man this thing will probably be super hard to find unless you get it right away. That skin will go for ridiculous amounts.

By the way the bundle includes the PVE part ( Save the World) which is sold at 39,99 ( IIRC).

Ok, I was just about to ask about this.

Ok, looking even better.

Lyrick · Jun 22, 2018

So are GameStop employees going to put up hand written signs near the displays warning consumers about the restrictions of attaching an Epic account to PSN?

Bishop89 · Jun 22, 2018

I mean i can see why you would say that, so casuals just blindly purchase ps+ thinking they need it.
But it is a jab against the competition which requires an additional fee to play the game (xbox only at this stage)

Well played

go further
days gone hits post christmas
Dreams hit after that
ghost or tlou2 after that
the other one of the 2 after that
and you're back to CoD again

gates2 · Jun 22, 2018

I think Sony is getting too greedy; this will sell a lot; at least they could have included a console skin or an exclusive controller color.
This is just a standard PS4 cardboard box with a voucher and a fortnite bundle 'cover' over the standard box.
It's a missed chance. Also would have been great for collectors. 20 years from now:
"You see this PS 4th generation? It was made in 2018, because of Fortnite."
-"What's a PlayStatiob, wait what; they had Fortnite 20 years ago??? No way, how did they play it?"
"back then they still had consoles... now everything is implanted into your brain at birth.."
-"cool story grandpa!"

Gonna sell gangbusters

Jakartalado · Jun 22, 2018

I wasn't expecting this since crossplay.... but

I thought It was going to be blue again (Days of Playstation Bundle looks gorgeous).

I wish there was a Ps4 pro in that color

Deleted member 42 · Jun 22, 2018

I'm surprised they didn't put more stuff in it, 500 VBucks is like, half an outfit

Edit: Ohhhh they put in Save The World, that's smart

Edigar · Jun 22, 2018

Very, very smart move from Sony, bundling a free game. Nintendo should had done this.

Maybe they will do one for PS4 pro that would be damn epic.

khamakazee · Jun 22, 2018

Is there going to be a warning now from Sony on the box that you cannot use your Epic Fortnite account on Xbox and Switch, or will that be in the fine print inside within the manual?

OléGunner · Jun 22, 2018

I expect this, FIFA and RDR 2 bundles to fly off the shelves later this year.
It's a pretty decent bundle considering save the world is included.

khamakazee said:

I'd advise you to read the mod edit on page 1.

Why would they?

Also, I know I mentioned it not needing Plus earlier but now seeing as it comes with Save the World..Even tho the BR mode is the more popular part of the game someone earlier said it best..

Why let folks know it doesn't need Plus. Either way it's going to generate a mountain of cash for Sony. Consoles sold or PS Plus subs, probably both. And on that note, would it help GameStop sell PSN, Plus cards...

I do hope they let ppl knows it doesn't need Plus for the BR tho.

Not sure, however it would be smart of Sony to advertise that you can play online for free with no separate subscription.

Bundling a free game is low. It's like taxing on oxygen.

Anyone who sees the bundle in a store should buy it just to flip the skin. Guarantee it'll damn near pay for the console.

I know people are tripping over themselves to post some snark but at least read the thread. It includes Save the World as well, which isn't free.

Fortnite Save the World (the co-op horde mode) currently costs to access the Early Access but is F2P too. Goes F2P at launch whenever that is.

PS4 Fortnite Bundle on July 16th, includes Save The World mode, exclusive skin, 500 VBucks (Read OP)
