    Reversed part of an Apex Legends battle pass change after player criticism

    Respawn had announced that the Apex Legends premium battle pass would be split into two paid passes per season and could no longer be bought with Apex Coins, the in-game currency. After weeks of player complaints and negative Steam reviews, Respawn said 'You've spoken, and we've listened' and restored the option to buy the pass for 950 Apex Coins from Season 22, while keeping the split.
