Epic Games has officially launched the third season of Fortnite’s permanent OG mode, introducing a new OG Pass packed with nostalgic remixes and fresh rewards. Available now until June 8, this season marks the longest OG season yet, giving players ample time to grind through its offerings. However, the selection of skins has sparked heated debates among fans, with some questioning Epic’s creative choices for this highly anticipated pass.
The Season 3 OG Pass, priced at 1000 V-Bucks, follows the same structure as its predecessors, offering three core skins, each with an unlockable style variant, alongside a slew of accompanying cosmetics. To unlock everything, players will need to reach 45 account levels, a reasonable goal given the extended season duration. For those subscribed to Fortnite Crew, the OG Pass comes bundled alongside the newly launched Lego Pass and the upcoming Music Pass, set to drop in two weeks, making it a tempting time to join the subscription service.
This season’s skins are remixes of classic Item Shop favorites: Power Chord, Rex, and Raven. The reimagined versions—Power Punk, Dino Thunder, and Sir Raven—bring updated aesthetics to the table. Power Punk, in particular, sports an astronaut helmet, a clear nod to Season 3’s original astronaut theme. While the designs are visually striking, their origins have caused a stir. Many players expected remixes of Season 3 Battle Pass skins like Reaper, Dark Voyager, or Rust Lord, rather than Item Shop picks. “I love Power Punk’s vibe, but I was really hoping for a Dark Voyager glow-up,” one fan commented on Reddit, echoing a common sentiment across the community.
Beyond the skins, the OG Pass delivers a variety of cosmetics, including pickaxes, back blings, gliders, and emotes. A standout addition is a multifunctional guitar that doubles as a pickaxe, back bling, and an instrument for jamming in Fortnite Festival. Unlike the previous OG Passes, which leaned heavily on retro-style gliders, Season 3 mixes things up. While there’s one default glider, Sir Raven’s set includes a pair of majestic wings, adding flair to the lineup. These thoughtful touches show Epic’s intent to diversify rewards while staying true to the OG aesthetic.
The extended season length—running through early June—offers players more breathing room to unlock everything, a welcome change for casual grinders. Fortnite Crew subscribers also benefit from access to the Lego Pass and upcoming Music Pass, creating a packed spring schedule for collectors. However, players should note that unsubscribing from Fortnite Crew will lock progress on these passes until resubscription, a reminder to stay committed if aiming for full completion.
Despite the controversy surrounding the skin choices, the Season 3 OG Pass has plenty to offer. The remixed skins, while not Battle Pass originals, bring fresh flair to beloved classics, and the expanded variety in gliders and emotes adds depth to the rewards pool. Social media reactions remain mixed, with some praising the creativity of Power Punk’s astronaut helmet and Sir Raven’s wings, while others continue to voice disappointment over the absence of Season 3 Battle Pass remixes.
As Fortnite’s OG mode continues to evolve, Epic seems intent on balancing nostalgia with innovation. Whether this pass will win over its critics remains to be seen, but with nearly three months to explore its offerings, there’s no shortage of time to form an opinion. For now, players can dive into the season, crank up their new guitar pickaxe, and decide for themselves if this remix hits the right notes—or falls flat in the face of high expectations.
