The collaboration between Black Ops 6 and Squid Game looked promising, but the controversial introduction of a paid Event Pass monopolized the discussions.

A week before the Squid Game event began in BO6, a leak revealed that a Vent Pass would lock some of the new content behind a microtransaction. This announcement sparked strong criticism, with many believing that a game sold for €70, accompanied by an optional Battle Pass for €10 and a BlackCell pack for €30 per season, was already too much.

Despite the initial anger, some players preferred to wait to know the exact price and content before making a final judgment.

A price that is debated

When Activision published its first blog post detailing the event, there was no mention of the price of the Event Pass. Voices like CharlieIntel then immediately criticized the publisher for its lack of transparency. But shortly after, Activision updated its announcement and revealed that the Pass would cost 1,100 CoD Points, or around €10.

This price launched a lively debate on the necessity of this Pass.

The leaker BobNetwork criticized this initiative in particular: “Many said that this Premium Pass was better than purchasing multiple packs, but when you look closer, it’s just a pack cut up and turned into a paid XP event.

An oft-cited example is the Squid Game Young-hee Tracker Pack, which features an operator skin, a special execution, and several weapon blueprints, just like the Vent Pass. According to some, this reduces the interest of a Separate Pass.

On the other hand, other players believe that the price remains reasonable. One player commented: “It’s actually a lot cheaper than everyone thought. Are you okay now?

However, when comparing the content of the Event Pass to that of the standard Battle Pass, also at €10, the criticism makes sense. The Battle Pass offers a lot more content, making this new addition difficult for many to defend.

So, it’s the same price as a standard Battle Pass for, what, 10 items? No thanks“added another player.

Regardless of whether players decide to purchase this Pass or not, Activision also offers a free track, and all temporary game modes are available to everyone. This leaves a door open for those who want to enjoy the event without spending more.
