# Seasons and Premium Pass

### What are Seasons?

Arc8, as a competitive platform, uses Seasons.

Each Season in Arc8 allows you to progress through different levels, each of which offers [rewards](https://wiki.gamee.com/~/changes/gNj2FHThLRTX82fsombt/gameplay/gamee-arc8-faqs/reward-packs-and-piggy-bank). At the start of a new season, progress is reset.

### What Seasons have already happened?

* Galaxy Season (June 13–July 11)
* Andromeda Season (July 11–September 5)
* Spooky Season (September 5-December 5)
* Frosty Season (December 5th – January 31st)

### What Season is Arc8 in now?

We are currently in **Retro Season**, running from **January 31st – April 10th.**

### How do I progress?

Each time you win a battle, you get 1 [crown](https://wiki.gamee.com/~/changes/gNj2FHThLRTX82fsombt/gameplay/gamee-arc8-faqs/currencies-and-items). A certain number of crowns are needed to reach the next level – you can see this number in the app. You will get rewards when you get a crown.

### What rewards do I get for progressing?

Each time you get a crown by reaching a new level, you will get rewards. Rewards can change between seasons. Rewards for progressing can be:

* Coins
* [Luck](https://wiki.gamee.com/~/changes/gNj2FHThLRTX82fsombt/gameplay/gamee-arc8-faqs/luck-mining-and-lucky-events)
* Gems
* [Energy](https://wiki.gamee.com/~/changes/gNj2FHThLRTX82fsombt/gameplay/gamee-arc8-faqs/battles-and-streaks)
* [Reward Packs](https://wiki.gamee.com/~/changes/gNj2FHThLRTX82fsombt/gameplay/gamee-arc8-faqs/reward-packs-and-piggy-bank)
* [Food](https://wiki.gamee.com/~/changes/gNj2FHThLRTX82fsombt/whitepaper/arc8-app/beasts) for your Beasties

### What happens to my progress at the start of a new Season?

Your progress is reset; each Season is a fresh start.

### What does a Premium Pass give me?

A Premium Pass (which you can buy in the in-app shop for money or on the [website](https://www.arc8.com/marketplace) for [GMEE](https://wiki.gamee.com/~/changes/gNj2FHThLRTX82fsombt/whitepaper/gmee-token)) offers a premium experience. Primarily, it allows you to win premium rewards at each level, on top of the standard rewards that you get without a pass.\
\
If you purchase a Premium Pass mid-way through a season, you will still be able to collect premium rewards from all the levels you have already reached in that Season.

### What rewards do I get for reaching the final level in the Season Progress path?

As a reward for making it to the final level, there are special high-value bonus rewards for all players. Premium Pass holders also get one additional bonus reward, which is the highest reward you can get in a given Season.
