Marvel Snap, the card game taking the world by storm right now, has a season pass. And like other free-to-play games, it has a paid tier. Let’s break it down.
After months of closed beta testing, Marvel Snap is finally playable for anyone with a smartphone. Following in the footsteps of other live service games, the game is free-to-play but has a lot of financial incentives. You can level up cards, build your deck, and earn credits at a faster rate if you spend real money. But this begs questions: Is the season pass necessary? And is it worth the $10 asking price? I’ve been playing Marvel Snap since the days of the beta, let me clear things up.
Marvel Snap’s season pass — called “Symbiote Invasion” — comes in at a $9.99 price point, if you want to unlock its premium edition. Like in other free-to-play games featuring one of these level ladders, it also comes with a few free level-up bonuses.
The season pass gives you a new reward every time you unlock enough experience points from leveling up your play level by completing missions. These missions aren’t hard to complete at all. I honestly regularly complete each batch of them by simply playing without even knowing what the missions are. While there are a few free unlockable rewards, doled out intermittently, the premium season pass gives a new bonus for every new level you hit.
