As Overwatch 2 continues its onslaught of $25 skins, its director reveals Blizzard wasn't sure if cosmetics alone could fund the game
At this point, Overwatch 2 has become notorious for its expensive cosmetics. It's not at all unusual to see skins available to buy that cost roughly $25, which is a considerable price for a single in-game outfit.

As Overwatch 2 pivots to free heroes for all, Blizzard confirms you won't get anything back if you already bought heroes through battle passes
It's a great day for free-to-play Overwatch 2 players, but not so much for those who've been spending money on the first-person shooter to get access to new heroes as soon as possible.

Overwatch 2 is finally giving out all heroes for free up front, game director admits "not all" attempts to balance the paywall competitive advantage worked
It's finally happening—around a year and a half after its early access launch, Overwatch 2 is removing all of its heroes, new and old, from its Battle Pass.

Overwatch 2 players won't have to pay or grind through a battle pass to unlock new heroes
Blizzard is finally making it easier to unlock new heroes in Overwatch 2. This is big news, as players regularly complain about how difficult it is to obtain new characters in the live-service shooter. Currently, people get new heroes by paying for and grinding through a battle pass, buying them outright or waiting until they become available as a reward for winning a certain number of games. That changes with the forthcoming season 10, as the company will make new and old heroes available for free to all players.
