Gaijin Entertainment has officially announced the upcoming launch of War Thunder Battle Pass Season 25, titled Steel Fury. The new season is scheduled to begin on October 21, 2026, and will run through January 20, 2027, across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms. Players looking to participate can choose between two purchase tiers to access the seasonal reward track, which provides a structured path for unlocking various in-game assets.
Season 25 Pricing and Progression
The standard Battle Pass is priced at 2,000 Golden Eagles, while the improved version, which provides additional progression benefits, is available for 2,500 Golden Eagles. Progression throughout the season is achieved by completing daily logins, finishing daily tasks, and tackling weekly challenges. By reaching specific milestones, players can earn seasonal rewards such as Silver Lions, boosters, decals, and premium vehicles. Notably, players who reach level 105 and level 125 can earn two Upgrade Coupons, which allow them to obtain the subsequent Battle Pass season at no additional cost. This system rewards consistent engagement throughout the three-month duration of the event.
Featured Vehicles and Warbond Shop Updates
Season 25 introduces two primary premium vehicles as rewards for dedicated players: the S-706 torpedo boat and the Jagdpanther G2 tank destroyer. In addition to the main reward track, the Warbond Shop has been updated with new inventory. For the first time, the Z4 Zerstörer destroyer and the FR-1 Fireball fighter are available for acquisition. Accessing these specific Warbond Shop items requires players to reach the necessary Battle Pass levels and earn medals by completing Special Tasks. The following table summarizes the key logistical details for the season:
