For me, it's 3. Fallout 76, Battlefield 2042 and Overwatch 2. I play other games that have these BP/Fomo mechanics in them, but I just don't have the time to dedicate myself to complete them. Curious how many you guys grind through, though.

I'm usually doing 1 or 2, I was playing halo but that ones been done for a while and my team moved onto cod and I've been trying out overwatch 2 for the last little while. I was trying to get through the last one on fallout 76 when I was retrying the game out but didn't re up yet for nuka.

I've been playing a ton of MW2 but I just ignore the battlepass cash grab. Are BF2042 lobbies alive again? I only played the first couple weeks until it was basically boycotted

Almost the same for me. Fallout 76 (pretty easy), Yugioh master duel (horrendously easy), and Overwatch 2 (annoying because i go for 200).

Zero. I just have an assload of hundred hour RPGs.

Actively? None.

I dabble in F76 but I'll never actually pay for it. And I play MTG Arena, but I get the pass just by playing and I don't really pay attention to it.

The good part about the BP in F76 is it's free (mostly, these last few seasons Beth has added a handful of exclusive Fallout 1st rewards scattered across the Scoreboard (battle pass) and can be grinded out in the first week if you know what you are doing :)

I probably play F76 about 3 hours a week at this point.

When I first started a couple months ago (when it came to GamePass) I was putting in at least an hour a day. Now I just can't be bothered as much. Waiting for new content, really.

What's funny is that F076 had such a terrible launch, that places were selling it for literally a couple of bucks. So, someone could have bought the game dirt cheap and continue to get free content. Probably a better deal than almost every franchise right now.

None. I almost never buy any of them. Just cosmetic rewards for the most part.

Yeah I am right with you, it's a horrible practice I don't endorse. I should probably have remembered to say I only do the free BP in Overwatch 2 and BF 2042. Luckily, the BP is free in Fallout :)

I’ve been playing games for a little more than 30 years and I’m still not 100% sure what a battle pass is.

Apex, bloodhunt, call of duty, destiny 2 and fortnite

I haven't played Destiny 2 since after the 3rd expansion (the one where Cayde dies) I really liked the game but hated how they butchered the story and narrative after it went F2P :/

Is the game in a good state? Any hope to catch up for a returning player? How is the Battle Pass and its content?

None. Ever. Maybe a dlc bundle here and there.

If the game is free, I'll think about it. But never if I'm forced to play with cheaters.

Zero for the past, present, and foreseeable future.

I just started playing this year after the witch queen expansion and I love it. The battle pass is mostly resources for the game with a few cosmetics. The new expansion comes out on Feb 28 and should be a great jumping on point for new and returning players. They're making changes to the mod system and adding in game looking for group chat. It's called Lightfall

Zero and you are part of the problem.

None. I don’t think I’ve ever spent money in game outside of a story dlc or two that added hours of game time. I tend not to play online games anyway tho.

I have been playing APEX and COD16 season pass before, but I don't play season pass very deliberately later, I'm still a little tired.

I have the pass in fortnite and halo infinite but not really caring about the progress of either. Infinite doesn't matter because the passes never expire and you get enough currency from them to buy the next so whether I ever play the game again doesn't matter. Fortnite expires and I'm level 56 or something but I still don't really care about finishing it.

What is a battle pass? Honest question.
