Blizzard has promised to make some improvements to Overwatch 2‘s reward system, with the game’s battle pass system being consistently criticised by fans.
Despite its popularity, Overwatch 2 has been consistently criticised for its reward system, with players complaining that the battle pass system feels unsatisfying.
The problems are partially due to the franchise’s shift to the free to play model with the launch of the sequel earlier this year. The original Overwatch rewarded players with loot boxes – certainly a controversial practice themselves, but one that Blizzard has so far struggled to find a satisfying alternative to.
The game’s executive producer Jared Neuss addressed these concerns in a blog post on the official Overwatch website, where he admitted that “aren’t completely satisfied with how everything feels right now.”
Neuss directly addressed the shift to the free-to-play model, celebrating it bringing new players to the game, but also conceded that it had been a “big shift.”
