on

Blizzard revealed exciting new details about Overwatch 2 during the Tokyo Game Show 2022, including what players can expect from the game’s Battle Pass system, seasonal updates, and a brand-new hero: Kiriko.

Whether you're playing for free or purchasing the Premium Battle Pass, here's a full breakdown of what you’ll get in Season 1.

🆓 Overwatch 2 – Free Battle Pass (Season 1)

All players, regardless of whether they spend money, will have access to the free track of the Battle Pass.

Free Tier Highlights:

  • ✅ Kiriko (Unlockable by progressing through the pass)

  • 🎭 2 Legendary Skins

  • 🔫 2 Weapon Charms

  • 🧸 2 Souvenirs

  • 🎥 1 Highlight Intro

  • ✨ 15+ Additional Cosmetic Rewards (Includes sprays, voice lines, etc.)

To unlock Kiriko on the free track, players need to reach Tier 55 of the Battle Pass. This is achievable through regular play and mission completion.

💎 Overwatch 2 – Premium Battle Pass (Season 1)

For players looking to level up faster and access exclusive rewards, Blizzard offers a Premium Battle Pass for 1,000 Overwatch Coins (roughly $10 USD).

🔄 How the Battle Pass System Works in Overwatch 2

Unlike the loot box system from the original Overwatch, Overwatch 2 uses a seasonal Battle Pass model, with each season lasting around 9 weeks. Every Battle Pass brings:

  • A new hero (in some seasons)

  • Themed skins and cosmetics

  • New game modes and maps

Players earn XP by completing matches, daily/weekly challenges, and seasonal missions.

🎯 Final Thoughts

Whether you’re sticking with the Free Battle Pass or upgrading to Premium, Overwatch 2’s new progression system offers plenty of content to unlock and enjoy. With Kiriko as the spotlight hero for Season 1 and a new Mythic Skin tier, Blizzard is clearly going big on cosmetic rewards and personalization.

Pro Tip: If you’re planning to play regularly, the Premium Pass offers strong value with instant hero access and exclusive cosmetics.
