Overwatch Coins are the premium virtual currency in Overwatch 2. They can be purchased directly in the Shop or earned by completing in-game weekly challenges.

Overwatch Credits are the play-to-earn currency players earn for free by unlocking tiers throughout their Battle Pass. You can earn up to 1,500 Credits on the Free Battle Pass, and additional 500 Credits when you unlock the Premium Battle Pass. Overwatch Credits unlocks legacy items from Overwatch including seasonal themed skins!

You can progress through the Battle Pass simply by playing the game, with experience points awarded at the end of each game. Battle Passes can be progressed more rapidly by completing in-game challenges which are offered on a daily and weekly refresh schedule. Grouping up with friends also applies an extra 20% Battle Pass experience per match!

Prestige tiers only become available after completing the 80 rewards tiers of the Battle Pass, and they reward unique, hero titles that players can equip on their name cards. These rewards take longer to unlock because they’re not offered at every Prestige tier. You will only be able to earn specific Prestige tier titles during the season they are available. For example, you cannot earn Season Three titles during Season Four.

There will be ways to earn past heroes in future seasons, so everyone will have the opportunity to earn heroes by playing! Heroes from past seasons will return in new hero challenges, or you can acquire them in the shop with Overwatch Coins.
