Apex Legends’ new battle pass system has players up in arms: ‘This is how you kill the game’

Respawn is changing the way the battle pass works in Apex Legends—and to say players are pissed off about it is an understatement.

The official changes, set to begin next season, were announced today on the Apex X/Twitter account and the game’s official website. There are a lot of moving parts, but the gist of the changes is that there will now be battle passes for each split, as opposed to one battle pass per season. The base premium level of these battle passes will cost the same $10 that the season-long battle passes have always cost. That makes it $20 to buy both battle passes each season, effectively doubling the previous cost of buying a battle pass. The trade-off, according to Respawn, is that the new 60-level battle passes will amount to more cosmetics earned by players if they purchase and complete both battle passes in a season, and that much of the lesser-used items previously in battle passes have been taken out of those reward tracks.
