In addition to the introduction of the new character, costumes, and premium content, Overwatch 2 is also enhancing its compatibility with Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft’s gaming subscription service. Beginning on September 17, subscribers who connect their Xbox profiles with their Battle.net accounts will receive a one-time reward of 30 Mythic prisms and six skins.

The chance to get my hands on Cardboard Reinhardt, Turtleship D.Va, Cyberdragon Hanzo, Street Runner Genji, Bee Mercy, and Cleric Lifeweaver without any additional cost is truly exciting. Having subscribed to Xbox Game Pass in the past, I’m looking forward to linking my accounts (or renewing my subscription) by October 21st to secure these fantastic rewards.
