The new Battle Pass system will bring the Premium+ offering.

The Premium+ Track has taken the place of the previously discontinued Premium Battle Pass bundle, which provided additional Apex Coins for tier skips.

It is worth mentioning that the Battle Pass can no longer be bought with Apex Coins and can only be purchased with real money. The developers have stated that this was not an easy decision, but it enables them to lower the cost of Premium+.

In addition to revamping the Battle Pass, Season 22 is expected to unveil a new map, rumored to be called District, and a major update to Lifeline’s abilities.
