Overwatch 2 is a critically acclaimed, team-based shooter game set in an optimistic future with an evolving roster of heroes. Team up with friends and jump in today.
Pay 10bucks every 4ish months to get the hero immediately
grind 45 levels of the free battlepass (note that the hero is locked in competitive for the first 3 weeks). Personally this takes me about 10hrs.
wait until the season ends and do some rather trivial challenges (essentially play a tutorial for the character and play like 20 games)
Personally I see it as a subscription based game, and 3bucks/mo is pretty fair imo. like all competitive MP games, it doesn’t really make much sense to play it unless you can play a fair amount of it.
This is pretty much in line with my experience. As someone who didn’t play Overwatch 1, the monetization through the battle pass really doesn’t feel all that bad, but I totally understand how people who played Overwatch 1 from the start would be unhappy with it.
I know it might not be a popular opinion here, but I play a lot of Overwatch and actually find it really enjoyable. It doesn’t feel like a dead game at all. Plenty of people playing, and really easy to find matches. Plus if you’re willing to use Bing for Microsoft Rewards (which if you’re not is totally fair) you can use that to get the coins for the battle pass rather than paying.

If you don’t mind OW’s new monetization model, that’s fine and all, but Bing?!
Why would you do that to yourself?
Bing is great now wdym
I use bing to get game pass. Great system
