One of the best updates Overwatch 2 has introduced so far! With Season 10, all Overwatch heroes will be unlocked, allowing you to enjoy them in every game mode!

You will no longer need to acquire heroes through the Battle Pass to play them. All current Overwatch characters will be unlocked, and every future one will also be automatically added to your playable roster. The upcoming new hero, Venture, will also be unlocked as soon as it is released.

New players will have to complete the trial to become familiar with the roles and unlock all heroes.

The new Mythic Shop will introduce a lot of changes in how you earn new skins. You'll have the freedom to progress towards the Mythic Hero Skins you prefer while farming your Premium Battle Pass. This means you can choose whether to work towards more colors or model variations of a skin or opt for another one.

Moreover, the Mythic Skins in the shop will include both current and older ones. You'll be able to obtain Seasonal Mythic Skins from two seasons after their debut. For example, since it's now Season 10, in the upcoming Mythic Shop, you'll find Mythic Hero Skins from Season 1 to Season 7.

Weekly challenges will also see some adjustments. Now, you will receive Battle Pass XP for completing your weekly challenges, making them more flexible for all players.
