"Future Battle Pass returns might occur, but any such plans will span at least two seasons and be priced at a minimum of 20% higher than the original seasonal rate," the studio said in a blog post.
This follows a trend of gaming becoming more expensive lately, as a variety of factors like turbulent market conditions, the increasing cost of video game development, and US President Donald Trump's tariff threats have had a knock-on effect on the industry.
As for why digital goods like battle passes are increasing, there are multiple reasons here as well. Increasing prices on a digital product can help offset rising costs in other departments, but the simplest explanation here is that these price increases are being made simply because a developer or publisher can do it.
With the Switch 2 launching next month, we've seen Nintendo raise the price of several of its first-party games to $80, while Microsoft has announced price increases for its Xbox Series X|S consoles and games as well.
