An intense player backlash has led to a sudden about-face from EA and Respawn. Earlier this month, EA and Respawn had an idea to revamp the way that Apex Legends Battle Passes were purchased.

This did not go over well and led to outrage from the Apex Legends player base. Following weeks of this backlash, EA and Respawn have reversed course and will revert the Battle Pass to its previous system.
