While everyone and their pet K9 Unit<\/a> was excited for the COD Mobile Season 5 Battle Pass<\/a> to release at 17:00 PT on 28th June, or 01:00 BST on 29th June, we guess someone over at Activision got a little too excited. Yes, the Season 5 Battle Pass update<\/a> button was pressed over a dozen hours before it should have been, and we suggest next time someone puts a sticky saying “do not press” next to it.<\/p>\n

While for many who’ve been looking forward to the COD Mobile Season 5 Battle Pass, entitled “In Deep Water” might celebrate the early launch, it is also causing chaos for some players, as the Spurned & Burned Season 4 Battle Pass has disappeared…<\/p>\n

Lost tiers following early CODM Battle Pass release<\/h2>\n

Why are people upset that the COD Mobile Season 5 Battle Pass released early? Well, there’s actually a good reason.<\/p>\n

Some players have not finished levelling up their Spurned & Burned (Season 4) Battle Pass just yet, and every hour counts. Via a Battle Pass, players can earn back CP to purchase the new one, for example, so not reaching the desired level by getting cut off really hurts.<\/p>\n

On Reddit<\/a>, a player going by the name SummonerKai complained how they lost 15 Tiers due to the Battle Pass releasing early, and Activision’s COD Mobile account responded.<\/p>\n

As you can see, Activision is looking into this. That’s about all we know so far, and there’s no indication of what the developer’s next steps would be.<\/p>\n

It is important to note that since roughly 11:00 BST, the deployment of the new update has been halted (until official release) by Activision, which is a good first step.<\/p>\n

One can assume they might provide players with some free tiers or CP to make up for the mistake but that’s just speculation on our part. <\/p>\n

Keep in mind players paid for their premium Battle Passes, with an exact, expected end date. Making this situation a bit harder to fix, is the fact that once released early, others started throwing their wallets at the COD Mobile Season 5 Battle Pass.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, there’s no indication of what will happen, and how Activision will handle the situation. Right now, some players are highly upset that the Season 4 Battle Pass ended early, and some claim they can’t purchase the new one as they are short a few CP, which they could have attained in the last hours of the Spurned & Burned Battle Pass.<\/p>\n

We will update you once Activision provides a solution to this ordeal, as lost tiers and all this panic isn’t a great way to start a new season.<\/p>\n
