A new batch of new features awaits Overwatch 2 players. With the arrival of this ninth season called Virtuoso, everything is called into question. As a reminder, the Blizzard title is free-to-play available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch. This chapter introduces quite a few changes for fans who will have to keep an eye on the FPS to stay up to date. However, it seems that this new season is an unexpected gift for nostalgic fans. Hurry, it’s free!
A new surprise for Overwatch 2
The new season of Overwatch 2 is in full swing. A season 9 clearly marked by change, and if we rely on the feedback from the players it’s not all good. Blizzard has worked to make requested changes, particularly at the competitive level. However, one of the most controversial new features undermines an already fairly battered category of characters: healers. From now on, absolutely all heroes have a healing passive, and hand healers have a little difficulty finding their bearings in this new configuration. They who were essential to the survival of their mates, find themselves with ults or treatments sometimes bordering on useless according to several players. But hey, rejoice, you’ll be able to collect free content for one of the affected characters from Overwatch 2.
To mark the launch of this new season, Blizzard and Amazon are renewing their partnership with a new batch of Twitch Drops. By watching streams on the platform for a given duration, you will get new rewards for free. Obviously, you can just as easily leave a steamer running for several hours, turn off the sound and go about your business, that works too. Here is all the free content you can get and the conditions for obtaining it:
- Cybermonk Name Card: watch 2 hours of steam
- Cybermonk Zen Voice Line: watch 5 hours of steam
- Cyber Orb Weapon Charm: watch 8 hours of steam
- Legendary Cybermonk Zen outfit: watch 12hde steam
Hurry up, you have until February 18 to acquire all these cosmetics. As a reminder, Zenyatta’s Cybermonk skin is not really new. It was first introduced as a Money Shop skin in October 2022. Yes, for the launch of Overwatch 2 and its first cyberpunk-themed season. Only, at the time, it was available for 2200 coins, or 22 dollars.
