Since its release as a free-to-play title in late 2022, Overwatch 2 has earned a lot of criticism from the new players diving in on the subject of its tedious hero unlock grind. Season five is going live today, though, and Blizzard has unveiled its future plans to make the process of unlocking heroes—both legacy and new—a lot easier for newcomers.
In a June 12 blog breaking down all the new features coming with Overwatch 2’s fifth season and the upcoming Overwatch 2: Invasion update, Blizzard also revealed two new bundles that will be available when Overwatch 2: Invasion launches on Aug. 10. The Overwatch 2: Hero Collection will let new players skip the 150 match grind currently needed to earn all the legacy heroes at a $5 price tag, and the Complete Hero Collection bundle will also throw in Overwatch 2’s new heroes for $20.
