Apex Legends has gone from strength to strength in recent weeks as players embrace Respawn`s battle royale game and its free-to-play model. Now, the game will hit another milestone with the release of its first season and optional battle pass. Season 1: Wild Frontier will release March 19 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 5 PM GMT, and you`ll be able to pick up its battle pass immediately. Everyone who plays during the first season will also be able to unlock the Wild Frontier skin, five Apex packs, and 18 Wild Frontier stat trackers for free.The standard battle pass will cost you 950 Apex Coins. There`s also a battle pass bundle available for 2,800 Apex coins, which instantly unlocks your next 25 levels of rewards. However, if the regular battle pass is enough for you, there`s a way to get it for way cheaper: by signing up for one month of EA Access (Xbox One) or Origin Basic Access (PC), which each cost only US $5 / £4 / AU $7 per month. There`s currently no equivalent option for PS4.These gaming subscription services give you unlimited access to growing collections of games, discounts on purchases, and early trial access to upcoming games. And if you`re a member who plays Apex Legends between now and June 30, you`ll also receive a few extra perks: an exclusive Flatline Epic weapon skin, a special Banner Badge, and 1,000 Apex coins (roughly $10 / £8). You can probably see where we`re going with this: A one-month membership to either service essentially gets you 1,000 Apex Coins for the price of $5 / £4 / AU $7, which is a 50% discount. Once you sign up for the one-month membership (which normally costs around $10), you`ll automatically have enough Apex Coins to purchase the standard battle pass (with 50 coins to spare).At that point, you can decide whether or not you want to continue with the service, but you`ll be able to dive into Apex Legends` new season and start earning rewards with your battle pass immediately.Respawn`s year 1 roadmap revealed Apex Legends will ha ...
