Apex Legends is "evolving" its Battle Pass by splitting it in two and charging players twice


Respawn Entertainment has announced Apex Legends' upcoming Season 22 will make significant changes to the free-to-play …

"The decision to move from [Apex Coins] to real world currency is not one that we made lightly," Respawns writes in its announcement post, "but it does allow us to decrease the price of Premium+ for our community." Unsurprisingly, the community response to Respawn's announcement has been far from positive, with comments over on the Apex Legends' subreddit calling the move everything from an "abysmal decision" and "a truly embarrassing money grab" to "the worst fucking shit I've ever seen". Time will tell, but for now, Respawn is hoping to reel players into the new system by giving away its first half-season Battle Pass for free when it launches alongside Apex Legends' Season 22 later this year.
