# Access

There are 2 ways to play OpenSeason: **Game Pass Pro** and **Game Pass**.

## Game Pass Pro

The Game Pass Pro can be claimed on the OpenSeason website by anyone holding an [FU Studios NFT](#fu-studios-nft) or a [Partner NFT Collection](#partner-nft-collection)

Each Game Pass Pro is associated with an NFT, therefore selling the NFT is equivalent to selling the Game Pass Pro.

### FU Studios NFT

**How to acquire:** Can be purchased on the [Blur market](https://github.com/fustudios/fustudios-docs/blob/main/\(https:/blur.io/collection/fustudiomembership\)/README.md).

**Perks:**

**Perks:**

### Access Codes

The only way to mint a Game Pass is if you have an **Access Code**. Game Pass Pro holders can create an unlimited amount of Access Codes on the [Open Season website](https://openseason.games/login). **Any Game Pass that is minted using an Access Code is bound to the NFT (Game Pass Pro) that has created that Access Code.**

Access Codes are meant to be distributed leveraging a Game Pass Pro holder’s social network. If a user sells a FU Studio NFT, they are also selling all the Game Pass associations to that NFT. This means that the more Game Passes associated with an NFT, the more they are potentially worth, since a percentage of game earnings from the Game Passes are passed to the NFT associated with it.

In order to mint a Game Pass a user must also have an Epic account. Because Game Passes are associated with an Epic account a user does not need to hold a web3 wallet or even know about crypto in order to play OpenSeason.

To learn how you can get an NFT, distribute Access Codes or mint Game Passes check out our [explainer](../../productions/open-season#instructions).

_Access Codes are live. There are a total of 2,000 Game Passes to be claimed. Access code holders can currently claim 10 Game Passes per hour. We will be opening this up as we scale_
