Warzone 2 battle pass release date
The first Warzone 2 battle pass launched on November 16, 2022 alongside the Warzone 2 release date itself. As with previous games, the battle pass is interlinked with the regular Call of Duty game, so both battle royale game and standard multiplayer game mode players must get access at the same time to ensure progress parity.
Since then there have been multiple Warzone 2 seasons, each sporting its own pass full of various unlockable goodies. Each Season also has its own theme. Warzone 2 Season 4, for example, celebrated the iconic MW character Soap.

Warzone 2 battle pass details
The battle pass for Warzone 2 has both free and premium rewards, as is the standard with passes in other live-service games. However, instead of a linear stream of items, the battle pass forms a multi-sector map.
Players unlock items using earned Battle Token Tier Skips across the map with five items in each sector for a total of 20. You can then unlock each sector and a host of rewards within it.
