Respawn Entertainment caused a storm in the Apex Legends community when the company announced that major changes would be coming to the battle pass system starting in season 22. Apex's battle pass has been a core part of players' routines over the years, but now the system is getting a major overhaul.

At the time of writing, Apex's most dedicated fans are concerned and players are in an uproar over these changes. To understand the controversial nature of Apex's battle pass rework, we'll first break down the changes, and then discuss what the changes mean for the community.

With the regular pass costing $9.99 and the Premium version going for $19.99, the cost to play the Battle Pass for a season just doubled. While Respawn attempted to sweeten the deal, with the developer offering more rewards across all tiers, removing the ability to grind for the next Battle Pass via Apex Coins has been a huge blow to the player base.
