Overwatch 2 enters early access later this year but for those who already own the base game, some free bonuses have been announced. Blizzard Entertainment announced in a new blog past that Overwatch 1 owners would receive a free Founder’s Pack.
This will include two Epic skins, an exclusive founder’s Player Icon, and a “surprise gift” which will be revealed before the early access launch. The Founder’s Pack can be claimed by those who own Overwatch 1 before June 23rd and log into the game (or Overwatch 2) before December 5th. It’s also worth reiterating that any cosmetics and skins unlocked in the base game carry forward into the sequel.
As for Overwatch 2’s early access launch, it starts on October 4th for Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. It will be free-to-play and include cross-platform play and cross-platform progression. A roadmap for seasonal content and more details for the Junker Queen will be revealed on June 16th at 10 AM PDT. Stay tuned in the meantime.
