The gaming world has been abuzz with recent news about Apex Legends and its evolving Battle Pass system. Initially, Respawn Entertainment faced a wave of backlash over proposed changes to the Battle Pass, which included higher costs and the removal of the option to purchase with in-game currency. However, in a swift response to player outrage, the developers have reversed the most controversial aspects of their plan.
Starting with Season 22 Split 2, launching on September 17, 2024, players can once again buy the Premium Battle Pass for 950 Apex Coins, restoring a popular feature that allowed gamers to fund their passes through gameplay. The new Battle Pass structure will also feature 60 tiers instead of the previous 110, making it more accessible, with improved rewards like more crafting materials and Apex Pack loot crates. Additionally, players will have the chance to unlock the first split’s Premium Battle Pass for free by completing in-game challenges.
This shift highlights the importance of community feedback in shaping game development and demonstrates Respawn Entertainment’s commitment to addressing player concerns while balancing monetization with player satisfaction.
