Overwatch 2 has featured some controversial practices since the game launched in 2022, replacing the original Overwatch as Blizzard's team-based hero shooter. Going free-to-play meant Overwatch 2 needed to introduce new methods of monetization, which took the form of a seasonal Battle Pass that offered players access to new heroes and the new Mythic tier skins exclusive to those who purchased the Battle Pass. However, as Overwatch 2 approaches Season 10, the game is making some changes that will make accessing content locked behind the Battle Pass, including Mythic skins, easier for all players.
