Apex Legends subscription rumor explained


Insider Gaming broke the story behind this new rumor that fans of the game are now feeling. According to the outlet line Apex Legends players received a survey asking participants if they would be interested in a paid subscription to the game. It would probably take a similar form FortniteThe 'Crew' subscription, which costs $11.99 per month, offers a pool of V-Bucks, instant access to the season's premium battle pass, a monthly bundle and more.

Although EA has yet to confirm anything concrete about the subscription model, fans are already starting to worry. Although it is launched with a decent set of features, Apex LegendsThe final season (which dropped on November 5th) had gamers on edge due to the late trailers, as it was the only season that lacked advanced promotion. This has led many to believe that Respawn isn't ready for the new season, which doesn't bode well given Wilson's comments. If a new subscription model comes Topone matching Fortnite's own, there will probably be some riots.


Problem bringing subscription to Apex

Comparison to FortniteA custom subscription model makes sense, especially given the scarce details currently available. On the other hand, Top will have a harder time getting subscriptions around fans; not only can Top players are less satisfied with the state of their game compared to Fortnite players, but they may also be less satisfied with its monetization. Many can already see Top like overmonetized, with a huge currency pool, incredibly expensive promotions, and generally higher prices. Collection events were already a problem in 2019 with Respawn's first attempt, Iron Crown – but they got better for a while. Unfortunately, more recent events, starting Final Fantasy crossover, returned to exorbitant prices.


Plus, Respawn is still recovering from the massive controversy surrounding Alegends pex'battle pass. Although the studio removed the restriction on purchasing the Battle Pass with in-game currency, it still ended up splitting the pass into two full-fledged passes. Each of these two passes has the same value as a single pass, although they can be progressed faster – so they're hardly a bad solution. However, Respawn has also launched an approach that is locked to a $20 price tag – one that offers very little additional content. This recent influx of multiple passports, multiple currencies, and a mix of mythic items (Heirlooms, Universal Heirlooms, and Mythic skins) has flooded fans with monetization options—creating a hesitancy about any new monetary inroads.

Apex fans want game changes more than they want subscriptions

The fans enjoyed it a lot Apex Legends' final season, but there is still fear and frustration in the community. Comments made in EA's recent earnings rekindled concerns about a dwindling player base, with some even wondering if the game's days are numbered. A subscription model in any form likely wouldn't please fans, especially considering that many are still looking for fixes to the title's notorious glitches and hacking issues.
