A Split 1 comparison of the Free track, 950-Coin Premium pass, and the regional real-money Ultimate and Ultimate+ upgrades.
The Apex Legends Marked Split 1 Battle Pass has two tracks and four tiers. Free uses the Free Track. Premium, Ultimate, and Ultimate+ unlock the Paid Track through different purchase options and benefits. Premium costs 950 Apex Coins; the two Ultimate tiers are regional real-money purchases.
Marked Split 1 Battle Pass tiers compared
| Tier | Price or access | How rewards unlock | What EA currently lists |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | No paid pass required | Earned by progressing the free track | 1 Epic character skin, 1 Epic weapon skin, 1 Epic emote, 7 Apex Packs, and 200 Apex Coins |
| Premium | 950 Apex Coins | Headline cosmetics are earned on the paid track | Legendary Bloodhound and Caustic skins, a Legendary Mozambique skin, 10 Exotic Shards, a Reactive R-301 skin, and the paid reward track |
| Ultimate | Regional real-money purchase | Includes the Premium track plus an instant bundle | Additional Crafting Metals and Apex Packs on top of Premium |
| Ultimate+ | Regional real-money purchase | Includes Ultimate, extra instant benefits, and the same progression track | Bloodhound and Caustic variants, Apex Packs, 10 levels unlocked, and all Legends playable for the remainder of Split 1 |
The Split 1 label matters. EA runs two Battle Passes per season, so these rewards and the temporary all-Legends access should not be assumed to carry into Split 2.
What Premium adds
Premium is the first paid tier and costs 950 Apex Coins. It opens the paid progression track rather than instantly granting every listed cosmetic. EA highlights Legendary character skins for Bloodhound and Caustic, a Legendary Mozambique weapon skin, ten Exotic Shards, and a Reactive R-301 skin. The page also shows additional paid-track cosmetics such as skydive emotes.
Free-track and Premium-track rewards still require Battle Pass progression. Buying Ultimate or Ultimate+ adds the named instant bundle or unlocked levels, but it does not automatically complete every remaining level of the track.
Ultimate versus Ultimate+
Ultimate includes Premium, then adds instant Crafting Metals and Apex Packs. Ultimate+ adds Bloodhound and Caustic skin variants, instant Apex Packs, ten unlocked Battle Pass levels, and access to all Legends for the remainder of Split 1.
The skin-variant exclusivity note is time-limited. EA says the exclusivity period ends one year after the Battle Pass Split begins. That statement describes exclusivity, not a promise about the exact future sale method.
Price and purchase rules
Premium has a fixed cost of 950 Apex Coins. Ultimate and Ultimate+ use real-money regional pricing, so the reliable amount is the one shown by the in-game store for your account. The base game, current updates, and gameplay are still required to earn progression rewards.
What EA has not published
EA does not publish a complete text list for every level of the Marked Split 1 pass or one universal real-money price for Ultimate and Ultimate+. There is also no single “best value” tier: the useful choice depends on whether you want the progression track, the instant bundle, the variants, or temporary Legend access.
For the season launch, Bloodhound rework, World's Edge update, and weapon changes, use the Season 30 Marked release page. Return to the Apex Legends overview for the complete current answer map.
