The first split’s battle pass for season 22 of Apex Legends still can’t be bought with Apex Coins, but it can be earned for free through completing a series of in-game challenges.
Attempting to buy the battle pass from the Store tab will only show two options for players this split: $10 for the Premium tier, and $20 for the Premium+ tier, with only real money options available. Following Respawn’s announcement they were walking back the controversial new battle pass system, the official social media account confirmed that Apex Coins cannot be used this split, as the battle pass will instead be free for all players to earn through playing any game mode and completing limited time challenges, with the new pricing system set to start in split two when ranked resets in the middle of the season.
