Apex Legends Season 22 Battle Pass: Is it worth buying?

Apex Legends publisher Electronic Arts (EA) recently announced a major change for the Season 22 Battle Pass. The developers were planning to ingrain two battle passes in a single season - each lasting a single split. This news agitated the community as players would have to purchase the seasonal pass twice, essentially spending double the amount of money. However, some of these changes were reverted and a new system was introduced.

This article will highlight if buying two Season 22 Battle Passes in Apex Legends is worth it.

The devs also included details about the change in price including the removal of Apex Coins as a payment method. But this decision was taken back after frequent community reviews which caused the publisher to bring back the use of AC.

It is important to note that the purchase of battle passes in Apex Legends, which is a free-to-play game, is not mandatory and does not restrict any core gameplay features. So you can decide to simply enjoy the rewards from the free Battle Pass tiers while playing the game. Stay tuned to Sportskeeda for more updates, news, and guides.
