As long as their subscription to Xbox Game Pass is active, Overwatch 2 gamers can receive a large selection of free skins. Microsoft service subscribers may now play Overwatch 2, and Blizzard has been rewarding gamers with a number of releases to mark the beginning of this collaboration.

In the past, Overwatch 2 bundles with the legendary skins Junker Queen Executioner and Widowmaker Medusa as well as the epic skin Kiriko Visual Kei were available to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. The Cardboard Reinhardt, Turtleship D.Va, Cyberdragon Hanzo, Street Runner Genji, Bee Mercy, and Cleric Lifeweaver skins, along with thirty Mythic Prisms, will be permanently available to anyone who link their Battle.net and Game Pass accounts by 11th November. More advantages for Overwatch 2 players were hinted at at the time by Blizzard, and one of them is currently accessible, but with a significant catch.

All Overwatch 2 store skins produced throughout the previous three seasons are available to Xbox Game Pass subscribers, although players must maintain an active subscription. In a recent blog post, Blizzard clarifies that, aside from battle pass cosmetics, partnerships like the Transformers skins, Mythics, charity, BlizzCon, and other promotional content, players will be able to access cosmetics in a manner similar to renting them. Players may presently access skins from Seasons 9, 10, and 11, however starting with Season 13, skins from Seasons 10, 11, and 12 will be added to the rotation, according to a player's Reddit post.

Xbox Game Pass Will Soon Include Overwatch 2, Offering Benefits To Players

The text also states that Xbox Game Pass members will gain 10% more experience points in addition to these advantages, which will aid players in moving up the rankings in the hero shooter and battle pass of Overwatch 2. Regarding the permanent awards, Blizzard confirms that players will only be able to redeem them on Battle.net if they have a PC subscription. Additionally, those who have subscribed to the console tier will need to use Xbox to redeem them. When the skins arrive, Blizzard says that they will be accessible on all platforms; however, the advantages won't be given if accounts are connected after 11th November.

Even if Xbox Game Pass users get a lot of benefits, other players will also get something from it. Players may obtain 1000 coins and an amazing Overwatch 2 skin for free with Microsoft Rewards. The Twitch Drops have returned with the release of the mid-season update 12, granting access to the much sought-after Legendary Flower Child Mei cosmetic, Sunflower Weapon Charm, and Grooving Mei emote.
