In the plan, there would be a new battle pass every half-season, rather than every season, and Respawn would remove the option to buy a battle pass with 950 Apex Coins, the game’s premium currency.
Real-money-only purchases are out — but there will still be two battle passes per season Apex Legends developer Respawn has backed down in the face of intense player displeasure and scrapped its plan to make the game’s battle pass purchasable with real money only.
Early in July, the developer announced a restructured battle pass that was to start alongside the game’s next season, season 22.
Although Apex Coins can be bought for real money (950 Apex Coins are worth around $10), the currency can also be earned in-game, and it has always been possible to earn enough Apex Coins from one battle pass to buy the next one.
