Ahead of Overwatch 2’s Oct. 4 release date, developer Blizzard has made a special edition of the game available for players that want some additional benefits. This variant is the Overwatch 2 Watchpoint Pack, which in addition to access to the free-to-play multiplayer experience, offers fans the following for $40:
With the Overwatch 2 Watchpoint Pack, players won’t have to worry about signing up for the upcomingOverwatch 2 betaon June 28, and they won’t have to buy the premium track for the firstOverwatch 2 Battle Pass, either. They’ll also get access to the new Space Raider skins for Soldier: 76 and Cassidy, as well as the five Legendary and Epic skins that were originally available in the Overwatch: Legendary Edition (which is being retired shortly). The pack also gives fans 2,000 of Overwatch 2’s virtual currency that they’ll be able to use in its in-game shop, as well as an exclusive Overwatch 2 player profile icon.
Overall, the pack offers good value if you’re looking to take advantage of everything that it offers. However, if you don’t care about being able to buy items from Overwatch 2’s store or you’re not interested in the premium battle pass track, you likely won’t get much from the purchase.
