Is it worth $10? Absolutely. The most recent battle pass included 6 new exclusive skins each with its own additional unlockable styles, and most have their own pickaxes and back bling, on top of a handful of emotes, loading screens, and player icons.

The tragic death of George Floyd has ignited a movement mechanics gaming to end racism and promote inclusivity. Companies that previously sat on the fence have been forced to take action and prove they are progressive and are moving with the times. Over the last few weeks, there has been an unprecedented show of support for the black community, with most publishers releasing statements condemning racism and taking action to ensure inclusivity and equality.
