Despite major overhauls like lowering the number of players on a team and adding new starting heroes, the change that will have the biggest impact on Overwatch 2 is the decision to make it free to play. If you paid for Overwatch back when it was a $60 game, only to have that game shut down and replaced by its successor, you might be left feeling a bit cold. Don’t fear, though, because Blizzard has found a small way to reward players of the original in Overwatch 2.

The Overwatch 2 Founder’s Pack is a goodie bag full of things you will not want to miss for anyone who purchased the first Overwatch. Having access to it will allow you to play brand new characters without having to unlock them in the Battle Pass.
