Is Apex Legends’ Battle Pass Comparable to Fortnite’s?
Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends has recently released its new battle pass, but it’s facing criticism from some players who are comparing it to its battle royale rival, Fortnite.
Fortnite’s Battle Pass: The Gold Standard?
The general consensus among players is that Fortnite’s battle pass is superior to Apex Legends’. Many believe that Fortnite offers better value and a wider selection of skins. It’s important to note, however, that Apex Legends is currently in its first season while Fortnite is now in its eighth.
Considering the Timelines
In order to make a fair comparison between the battle passes of the two games, it’s crucial to take into account their timelines. Fortnite took about five months after its release to introduce its battle pass feature, giving Epic Games enough time and resources to create a more polished and complete product. Apex Legends, on the other hand, is not even two months old since its release, and the demand for a battle pass emerged as soon as the game gained popularity. It’s possible that Respawn had to work on the battle pass as an ongoing project.
A Look at the Battle Passes
When comparing the quality of the battle passes, there isn’t a huge difference. The Apex Legends battle pass offers pretty much everything that Fortnite had in its early days. While Fortnite’s skins may be more vibrant in color, Apex Legends’ skins are not far behind. It’s important to remember that Fortnite’s current skins in season eight are far superior to what it offered initially.
Apex Legends: Still a Promising Contender
It’s worth considering that Apex Legends has made significant progress within its short lifespan of under two months. Respawn has already released numerous skins, weapons, and updates, indicating its commitment to the game’s continuous improvement. While Fortnite may win hands down in a comparison between season one of Apex Legends and season eight of Fortnite, it’s important to give Apex Legends another chance. In a few months or even a year, it could potentially surpass Fortnite.
