The Finals' new Battle Pass will be akin to Call of Duty's controversial BlackCell Battle Pass, allowing players to unlock variant skin styles, earn additional Multibucks, achieve a 25% Match XP bonus, and more.

Battle Passes have become a common feature in live-service games, with titles such as Fortnite, Apex Legends, Call of Duty: Warzone, PUBG: Battlegrounds, and many more all having their own version of paid passes. While none of them offer players any competitive advantage in-game, that hasn't stopped companies such as Activision from being heavily criticized for their monetization practices. Despite already having a paid Battle Pass, Activision took things to the next level in 2023 when it introduced the controversial BlackCell Battle Pass for Modern Warfare 2.
