Hi (again) Matt here.
As part of the work leading into SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded, we took a hard look at the Battle Pass. Not just what it rewards, but how it feels to progress through it. The goal was simple: make the Battle Pass easier to understand, more satisfying to complete, and better aligned with how players actually play the game, including how you express yourself in the Arena.

If you spent time in the previous system, you’ll notice the difference right away.

A Better, More Intuitive Battle Pass

The previous Battle Pass structure asked players to juggle tickets, chapters, and manual unlocks. For SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded, we stepped back and rebuilt it into something much more familiar and straightforward.

At its core, the Battle Pass is now a traditional, linear track that progresses naturally as you play. There’s no longer a need to manage multiple systems or decide when to spend currencies. You play matches, complete challenges, and your Battle Pass moves forward with you.

Battle Pass tickets now function more like XP. As you play, you automatically advance your pass. Challenges no longer require manual claiming or spending tickets to unlock rewards; they simply auto-claim as you complete them.

We’ve also removed monthly chapters entirely. Rewards are no longer time-gated behind staggered releases, which means you can move steadily down the track at your own pace.

Premium Pass Structure

The reworked Battle Pass now spans the full length of each season. Season 1 features over 100 earnable rewards, all available from day one. The Premium Battle Pass will cost 1,000 Splitcoin (~$10 USD), and will reward enough Splitcoin to pick up the next season’s pass.

The Battle Pass includes free reward tiers (including Splitcoin and Proelium), so all players can earn rewards as they play.

Additional Content and Progress Accelerants

Once you complete the main track, a bonus Epilogue section unlocks. The Epilogue offers optional bonus rewards for players who want to keep progressing after completing the main pass.

Across weapon and character rewards, the Battle Pass now includes over 20 additional color variants. Through the Battle Pass alone, you can earn up to 1,900 Proelium, which can be used to unlock these variants or spent in the Proelium Exchange. This gives you more flexibility in how and when you customize your loadout and sits alongside the other progression-driven sources of Proelium we outlined in our progression deep dive.

To help you get moving right away, we’ve also added a set of kickoff challenges available early in the season to accelerate your progress.

Introducing the Ultra Pass

You’ll also see a new option alongside the Premium Battle Pass: the Ultra Pass, priced at $19.99.

The Ultra Pass includes:

• Everything in the Premium Pass
• 25 tier skips, granted instantly
• 1,000 Splitcoin, granted instantly
• 1,500 Proelium, granted instantly
• 12 Ultra skins (6 characters and 6 weapons)

The Ultra Pass isn’t a replacement for Premium; both options progress through the same battle pass track. Ultra is simply an alternate entry point for players who already know they want a faster start from day one with some more currency and elevated weapon and character skins along the way.

Ultra skins are enhanced versions of select Premium rewards, with added visual detail and flair. Premium rewards remain a full expression of their own, while Ultra offers another way to lean further into those styles for players who want it. Ultra rewards unlock at the same tier as their premium counterparts, no additional effort required.

If you purchase the Premium Battle Pass and later upgrade to Ultra, the 1,000 Splitcoin spent on Premium will be refunded when you upgrade.

Looking Ahead

SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded is about removing friction and putting the focus back where it belongs: in the Arena. The Battle Pass changes are a part of that philosophy.

Clear progression. No time-gated chapters. No manual unlock hoops. Just play, progress, and earn with the freedom to choose the rewards and presentation that fit your style.

We’re excited for you to jump in on December 17 and explore the new pass for yourself.

See you in the Arena.
