Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment has said it will once again allow players to purchase the free-to-play shooter’s battle passes with in-game premium currency after it announced it would only be selling them for real money starting in Season 22.
Earlier this month, Respawn unveiled a number of controversial changes to Apex Legends’ existing battle pass system, in a move it insisted would provide more “value” to players. One of these changes will see the current season-long Battle Pass essentially split in two, with Respawn charging players full price for each half-season premium pass across the same amount of time.
However, the change that attracted perhaps the most fan ire was Respawn’s decision to begin charging real money for its battle passes, and no longer enable players to purchase them with premium currency. That’s significant as Apex Legends’ premium battle passes have traditionally rewarded enough premium currency to purchase the next season’s pass.
