July brings major new content to Modern Warships! This month features a new Battle Pass system, a full visual overhaul of one of the classic maps, and — as always — a powerful lineup of new vehicles and weapons!

Key Update Highlights

⭐️ Battle Pass Update

The season's headline feature — the introduction of Battle Pass Credits and the launch of the BP Store.

Instead of fixed rewards, you now choose what to get: equipment from the current season or items from past ones. Grab the ship, strike fighter, or weapon you actually need — whenever it makes sense for your fleet.

How BP Credits Work

• Credits carry over between seasons — save them up and claim valuable rewards when you're ready

• The currency is automatically converted to Gold on January 1st — make sure to spend it before the end of the year

• Each season features a bonus: 30% off your first purchase in each category

Battle Pass Store

The inventory is organized into convenient categories:

• Ships

• Aviation

• Equipment

All rewards are clearly structured so you can quickly find and select the items you want.

Battle Pass Structure

• The Pass retains the familiar 40 stages with free and premium tracks

• BP Credits complement your progress rather than replace it — you still earn resources and rewards as you advance, then exchange credits for equipment

Additional Details

• Even the free track awards BP Credits, which you can save and spend on any item in the store

• VIP Pass owners instantly receive one unique season reward (in this update, the new DJT 4547 railgun)

• As before, Pass resets are available for Gold: once you complete it, you can run through it again to earn even more Credits and resources. The number of resets has been reduced from 5 to 2, but the total amount of equipment obtainable has actually increased

• Items from the BP Store become available for sale on the Market 30 days after being obtained

⭐️ UI and Window Information Updates

• The Battle Pass, Season Storage, Daily Missions, and Store windows have been completely redesigned: the interface is now cleaner and more intuitive, with key information easier to read at a glance.

⭐️ Port Accessibility

• Port selection is now available to all players — an active Premium account is no longer required!

⭐️ Map Changes and Scene Improvements

• Viking Bay Map Remaster

The map has received a full visual and graphical overhaul. We've updated textures, added vegetation, and improved the quality of structures — all while preserving the familiar tactical island layout.

• Offer Scene Improvements

The old 2D city scene for ships has been replaced with a modern scene featuring an abstract projection.

A brand-new, highly detailed hangar scene has been added for showcasing aircraft.

⭐️ Authorization (PC Version)

• Players can now choose their preferred login method at startup — either a Gaijin or Artstorm account — eliminating any potential confusion. If you enter credentials for the wrong account, the system will automatically suggest trying a different login method.
• The Steam version continues to support login via the Steam platform itself, as well as both of the above account systems.

⠀⭐️ Rebalance

A rebalance of several ships and equipment has been carried out, aimed at improving the performance of vehicles that have been in the game for a long time. Detailed rebalance information is available in a separate article

Battle Pass: "Heart of the Machine"

• The new Battle Pass season is available from July 1 to July 31. 40 stages of rewards await, each unlocking valuable resources, upgrade points, gold, and exclusive cosmetic content.
• Complete Pass stages, earn the seasonal currency — Battle Pass Credits — and exchange them in the dedicated BP Store for any vehicle or equipment available there.
• Battle Pass Premium unlocks an additional premium reward track. Earn even more BP Credits, gold, dollars, and upgrade points, and unlock exclusive seasonal camouflages and avatars.
• Battle Pass VIP unlocks a separate track of unique VIP rewards, including exclusive seasonal equipment, legendary cosmetics, and a bonus set of BP Credits!
