Blizzard is selling a pre-order kit for Overwatch 2 called the Watchpoint Pack, but you don’t have to buy it to play the free-to-play game. Instead, the Watchpoint Pack is a bundle with skins, the premium battle pass, Overwatch Coins, and other digital goods.
Blizzard Entertainment is rolling out Overwatch 2, a major update to the original game pitched as a sequel, and inviting everyone to play. Overwatch 2 is free-to-play, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t numerous ways to spend money on it. Take the Overwatch 2 Watchpoint Pack, a $39.99 starter kit that gives buyers a bunch of skins, in-game currency, and the season 1 premium battle pass.
Forty bucks is a lot to spend on a free game, and Overwatch 2 players don’t need to buy the Watchpoint Pack to play. But for Overwatch players who care about skins — including two that appear to be exclusive (for now) to the Watchpoint Pack — and those who want in-game currency to spend on cosmetics, it might be a good deal.
But veteran Overwatch players may not find a lot of value in the Overwatch 2 Watchpoint Pack.
