It offers 80+ reward tiers and is divided into two tracks. One track is free and open to all players. The other track is premium and can be unlocked for 1,000 Overwatch coins (approx. $10).
Overwatch 2’s cyberpunk-themed battle passes will include familiar and new types of cosmetic items like charms, name cards, and souvenirs. This is how you unlock new heroes as they are added.
The battle pass allows you to unlock new characters at tier 55. You can unlock them instantly by purchasing the premium pass.
You can still get a season if you don’t level up enough or miss the battle. In these cases, you can either complete unique challenges or buy Overwatch Coins to purchase the associated hero.
Each one will alternate between adding new maps and expanding the character roster starting with Season 2
