Overwatch 2 Watchpoint Pack Explained
When it first came out, Overwatch was met with a very positive reception from players and critics alike. It basically invented the hero shooter genre and was very popular for a time. However, certain decisions made by Activision-Blizzard caused the game to lose a lot of its momentum and subsequent player base. Now, Overwatch 2 is an opportunity to reverse course. Being free to play, it’s already very different from OW 1. Though, like many f2p games, it also has a game pack that you can buy. In OW 2’s case, it is called the Watchpoint Pack. It is an optional version of the game that comes with many extra goodies. We are going to take a look at the Overwatch 2 Watchpoint Pack and explain what you can get out of it.
What is the Overwatch 2 Watchpoint Pack
The Overwatch 2 Watchpoint Pack is a paid edition of the game which includes a lot of additional content for it. You can already pre-purchase it for $39.99 for PC (on the Battle.net), PlayStation, Xbox, and the Nintendo Switch. Basically, this edition of the game has everything you will need for when the game releases this October. In the next section of this guide, we’ll see everything that’s included in it.
What is Included in the Overwatch 2 Watchpoint Pack
Here’s everything that’s part of this OW 2 Watchpoint Pack:
- The Season 1 Premium Battle Pass.
- Two Legendary Hero Skins: the Space Raider Cassidy and the Space Raider Soldier 76.
- 2000 in Overwatch 2 Virtual Currency.
- An exclusive Overwatch 2 Player Icon.
- When you purchase this Watchpoint Pack, you will also get the Overwatch: Legendary Edition, which has five Legendary and five Epic skins.
- Additionally, you will also receive access to the Overwatch 2 Beta that is scheduled to begin soon. If you are interested in learning more about it, we invite you to read this guide on the OW 2 Beta.
If I paid for overwatch 2 watchpiont for my pc and do I have to buy it again for my switch?
Do you know if the beta access and overwatch 1 come in two different codes?
So if I’m reading it correctly, for 40 bucks you dont actually get overwatch 2, just some skins in OW1 and access to beta?
OW2 is free to play. The Watchpoint pack comes with some skins (usable in OW1 and OW2), access to OW1 now if you don’t have it, access to the 2nd beta, and a battle pass and 2000VC (worth 2 more battle passes), which presumably is valued at $30. So basically is guaranteed beta access on Day 1 and some skins worth $10 (assuming you’ll get the battle passes anyways).
