Upland’s 2026 Genesis Season: A Detailed Look
Upland’s much-anticipated Genesis Season 2026 has commenced on June 1, ushering in an array of themed events and exclusive offers that cater to both new players and seasoned collectors.
Genesis Week and the Exclusive Gold Pass
Highlighting the season is Genesis Week, scheduled from June 8-12. A standout feature of this week is the Genesis Week 2026 Gold Pass, retailing for $19.99. With only 320 passes available, it offers exclusive rewards such as all Genesis Season cosmetic drops, a Wildcard Perk, a limited edition Genesis Week 25 Block Explorer, and an exclusive Genesis 25 Go Kart (designs to be revealed later).
Sales for the Gold Pass open on June 2 at 9 a.m. PT and conclude on June 4 at 9 a.m. PT. Importantly, pass holders must burn their passes by June 3 at 9 a.m. PT to secure the first week’s cosmetic drop, with a final burn deadline by June 9 at 10 a.m. PT for additional bonuses. Burning the Gold Pass also helps towards qualifying for the Fusion Pass.
Ongoing Rewards with the Season Pass
Beyond the excitement of the Gold Pass, the Genesis Season Pass, priced at $6.99 and available until July 15, offers another avenue for players to enhance their gaming experience. The pass activates eligibility for six weekly cosmetic drops, starting from June 3 and continuing every subsequent Tuesday. A critical timing aspect here is that players must burn their pass by 7 a.m. PT each Tuesday to receive that week’s drop.
In addition to cosmetic benefits, each burned Season Pass includes a Wildcard Token, which covers one missed weekly Gamified Earnings mission. It should be noted, this token is a one-time use item exclusive to the weekly missions.
The Fusion Pass Collector Challenge
For those looking to up the ante, the Fusion Pass presents the ultimate collector challenge. To qualify, players need all four unique collectible characters in their account by 9 a.m. PT on July 8. The characters, which reflect different Upland play styles, may be held or burned, provided all four are present. Keeping them for at least 24 hours past the deadline is necessary to meet the qualification criteria. This pass significantly boosts the Collector Score, making it a sought-after goal for serious collectors.
Through strategic gameplay and timely actions, Upland’s Genesis Season 2026 offers multiple layers of engagement and rewards, setting a vibrant playground for gamers and collectors alike.
