"Everyone who completes 13 free Overtime Challenges by February 27 will receive the upcoming Season 8 Battle Pass for FREE," declared the studio as their latest update went live earlier today. "If you don't have an outfit, now is your chance to get several for free. With the Battle Pass, you'll receive two Season 8 Outfits instantly and you can earn up to five more. Save your V-Bucks, this one's on us!"

If you don't already have the Batlte Pass, here's what you need to know:

100 tiers, 100 rewards. The more you play, the more you unlock. Level up faster and do it on your own schedule. Weekly Challenges give you the flexibility to make progress whenever you can play. It also allows for players to unlock exclusive skin progressions like the Prisoner from this season. It's the best way to show off to other players what you're made of while also adding a new layer of substance to the battle royale experience.
