The Battle Pass is a system implemented in Battle Royale to reward players for playing during a pre-established length of time known as a Season. The Battle Pass has its roots in the progression system established in Season 1, although the Battle Pass itself was not formally introduced until Season 2. There are two components to the Battle Pass, one that is freely available to all players and one that is available to purchase in the Item Shop. The latter premium product is actually the Battle Pass itself, with the free component being noted in game as the "Free Pass". Despite this distinction, the Battle Royale community at large frequently uses the term "Battle Pass" to describe both components together along with the current season as a singular entity, e.g. "Battle Pass Season 3" frequently represents all of Season 3 content.
