Respawn Entertainment, the developer behind Apex Legends, recently announced a major overhaul of its battle pass system starting from the game’s 22nd season in early August. However, the reception to this announcement has been overwhelmingly negative, with players expressing their discontent through a significant wave of negative reviews on Steam.

The backlash stems from changes to the battle pass pricing and structure. Previously, players could purchase a seasonal battle pass once for 950 Apex Coins (approximately $10) or 2,800 Apex Coins (around $20) for a premium bundle pass. Starting from season 22, players will now need to pay twice per season: $9.99 for the premium pass or $19.99 for the premium bundle, effectively doubling the cost.

Additionally, the ability to purchase the battle pass with in-game currency has been removed, requiring real money for all purchases. Previously, players could earn Apex Coins through gameplay and use them to buy the battle pass, but this option has been eliminated, leaving only a reduced-rewards free tier available.

As a result of these changes, Apex Legends’ recent review score on Steam has plummeted to overwhelmingly negative, fueled by more than 24,000 negative reviews posted in the first half of July.
