Season 0 arrives alongside Early Access and brings 2XKO’s first Battle Pass. It follows a familiar structure: a free track anyone can progress by playing, and a premium track you can unlock for more cosmetic rewards. Progress carries through Early Access—accounts will not be reset—so anything you unlock is yours to keep.

Battle Pass tiers and how progression works

Season 0’s pass has two tracks and three premium purchase options. The language you’ll see in the client:

  • Free track: available to everyone, grants a limited selection of seasonal rewards.
  • Premium track: unlocks the full set of seasonal rewards and offers three paid options—Standard, Deluxe, and Ultra.

You can earn Battle Pass XP throughout the season, whether you’ve purchased a premium option or not. If you decide to buy later, you’ll be able to claim any premium rewards you already earned XP for during that season.

Season 0 runs through the end of 2025. The Battle Pass is seasonal, so your window to earn and claim Season 0 rewards aligns with that timeline.

Season 0 rewards you can count on

Track Confirmed items in Season 0 Notes
Free Rift Quest Teemo skin; one set of avatar clothing; 3 stickers; a player card; a player title; a finisher All free-track items are claimable without purchase once you reach their BP levels.
Premium (Standard/Deluxe/Ultra) Firelight Run stage is the first premium-track reward Firelight Run will be purchasable with Credits after the season ends.

Two stages headline Season 0: Bandlewood Crossing and Firelight Run. Bandlewood Crossing is a direct purchase in the Stages section of the Collection tab. Firelight Run is earned on the premium Battle Pass track first; if you miss it, it becomes a Credits purchase after the season.

Beyond the items above, expect the premium track to include more cosmetics tied to Season 0’s theme. The exact number and type of additional skins or cosmetics on the premium track aren’t listed in the official breakdown for Season 0.

What the three premium options mean

The premium track comes in three paid variants—Standard, Deluxe, and Ultra. Each grants access to the same seasonal premium reward track, with differences in what’s bundled at purchase. The client will spell out the contents when you buy. You can level the pass at your own pace during the season, regardless of which premium option you choose.

Note: Starting with Season 1, there will be a new champion at the start of each season. During the first three weeks, that champion can be unlocked a few ways, including with an Ultra Battle Pass bundle. Season 0 introduces a new champion as well, but it does not include a Recruitment Event.

Currency, missions, and where to find things

  • Battle Pass XP comes from seasonal missions and play. You can bank XP before buying premium and claim earned premium items later in the same season.
  • Credits are the in-game currency used for many direct purchases. The Credits cap has been raised to 12,000 to reduce overcapping.
  • Stages live in the Collection tab. Bandlewood Crossing is a direct purchase there; Firelight Run appears first on the premium pass and is sold for Credits after the season.

Starter Editions and seasonal bundles are separate from the Battle Pass

If you’re planning your spend, keep these offers distinct from the pass:

  • Starter Editions (available Oct 7, 2025 through Dec 31, 2026): three paid bundles—Standard (4 Champion Tokens, 2,000 KO Points, player card), Deluxe (adds an Arcane finisher, 8 Champion Tokens, 3 avatar clothing sets, more KO Points), and Ultra (adds 3 Arcane skins with all chromas, an Arcane sticker set, more KO Points).
  • Mega Bundles rotate in the Store during Season 0 (Crime City, Aureate, Snow Moon), with themed skins for specific champions and bonus cosmetics.

These bundles don’t replace the Battle Pass; they’re optional, time-limited offers sold alongside it.

Key questions answered

Question Answer
Can I progress the pass without buying premium? Yes. You can earn XP all season on the free track and purchase premium later to retroactively claim premium rewards you’ve reached that season.
Are Season 0 premium rewards available later? Firelight Run is explicitly confirmed to be sold for Credits after the season. Availability of other premium items hasn’t been announced.
Does the pass include currency refunds or carryover XP? Not stated. Only seasonal XP earning and in-season retroactive claiming are confirmed.
How long do I have to finish Season 0’s pass? Season 0 runs through the end of 2025. Your opportunity to progress and claim Season 0 rewards aligns with that window.

If you’re logging in for the first time in Early Access, you’ll find the Battle Pass in the Progression tab and the Store open for Season 0. With no more account resets, anything you unlock—from the free Rift Quest Teemo skin to the premium-stage Firelight Run—stays with you as 2XKO grows through Early Access and beyond.
