im pretty sure its a free update that includes this sort of battlepass for free.So - what's up with this? Is this a Battle Pass-like separate purchase?
It's a free update, no need to buy anythingSo - what's up with this? Is this a Battle Pass-like separate purchase?

Thanks!
Well, I wouldn't get too excited yet. It's a battle pass where progression is tied to challenges. What happens to the content you don't get through progression? Activision has to make some return to justify the free courses.That's a lot of content. Still can't believe Activision of all companies is doing a monthly CTR Battle Pass for free.

After what they did to BO4 I just can't trust Activision to offer a decent stream of free content without trying to monetize it at some point. Especially when they start introducing stuff like battlepasses. It's like they have the mechanics in there, they just have to flip the switch.The "Pit Stop" where you get points to buy unlockables seems like a massive grind and I wouldn't be surprised if they figured out some way to monetize it down the line, but maybe that's unlikely post-release. It kind of sucks though.
Will I still be able to get this content if I purchase the game latter?
I want CTR but there's to much other stuff that'll take priority so it may be a while.
Alright good to know thanks.I believe they said if u are unable to get the rewards they will be in the pit shop eventually.

At least the option to get it will be there. In Fortnite once a Battle Pass item is gone, it's gone.After what they did to BO4 I just can't trust Activision to offer a decent stream of free content without trying to monetize it at some point.

I hope so, because I won't play it online until it get a ranked mode.
There are two leaderboards. The first is like getting points in a cup offline. You get them depending on where you finish in an online race. Hopefully they use this for matchmaking. The second is based on your nitro (the points you get for completing challenges). This seems more like a way to compare your progress in the GP to friends and what not (as well as lighting a fire under your ass if you want that exclusive kart).What are the grand prix leaderboards??
Ranked mode perhaps?
PLEASEEEEEE
No. All currency is earned in game with no way to purchase it.Wait, so is the Pit Shop thing microtransactions? I don't have the game but was considering it.

The online is indeed very barebones right now, there's only online races and battle mode matches. There's a patch coming out on July 3rd with improvements and all of the content from this Gran Prix thoughWhat is the state of the online right now? I was considering picking this up for online play, but from what I read it sounded pretty bare-bones...
No. You get Wumpa Coins (Pit Stop currency) from racing, with a significant bonus for racing online.Wait, so is the Pit Shop thing microtransactions? I don't have the game but was considering it.
Hopefully my copy will arrive in time 'v' ... I want to unlock everything from base game first before jumping online and getting Tawna, The Nitro Squad and stuff.
I know they will put them on the Pit Stop eventually, but I'd like to participate of the event
You'll be able to get everything added to the pit stop, and I'm sure theer will be enough offline challenges that you'll be able to get a decent amount of the rewards.
I think they confirmed the challenges also apply to offline play yeah, but we're just a few days away so wait and see.
