“Overwatch 2 Levels the Playing Field: All Heroes Available to Free Players”

Wazzup Everyone! FREE FOR ALL!! Big news for Overwatch 2 players!

The game is making a major change: all heroes, both new and old, will now be available to everyone, regardless of whether they have the Premium Battle Pass or not.

This means that free-to-play gamers can enjoy new heroes immediately alongside those who pay for the Premium Battle Pass, without spending a dime.

Previously, players without the Premium Battle Pass had to grind through the Free Battle Pass to unlock new heroes, which could take a while.

This often left them trailing behind paying players who got access to new heroes much earlier, giving them a significant advantage in mastering their abilities.

This move raises questions about whether Blizzard was essentially putting a competitive advantage behind a paywall, favoring paying players over free-to-play users.
