Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 Drops Tomorrow: Here is Exactly How Much More You Will Pay for the Battle Pass
The next installment of Call of Duty is launching tomorrow, and while your nostalgia for "Modern Warfare 4" is justified, your wallet is about to take a direct hit. Activision confirmed this morning that the standard Battle Pass will cost $10, but the "BlackCell" premium tier—which includes exclusive skins and bonus XP—just jumped to a shocking $30. That is a 50% increase from last year's price for the same level of loot. Between the base $70 game, a $30 Battle Pass, and the inevitable $20 "Vault Edition" upgrades, your total day-one cost could easily top $120. For a single game. If you have kids who play, double that. The industry is betting you will pay it, so your only real weapon is refusing to buy the overpriced skins and sticking to the base game mode. Your bank account will thank you when you don't get "pay-to-win" fatigue.
