Unleash the Ultimate Style with a Limited-Time Legendary Tracer Skin in Overwatch 2

Skins hold significant importance in Overwatch 2, capturing the attention of many players. Until June 27th, fans have the chance to acquire a Legendary Tracer skin at no cost. While the sequel introduced abundant cosmetic content since its release last year, Overwatch 2's new shop system has provided limited opportunities for players to obtain new skins without charge.

Initially, Overwatch employed loot boxes to distribute cosmetics in a relatively random manner. These items functioned similarly to those in other games, allowing players to purchase them with real money or earn them exclusively through gameplay. However, Overwatch 2 has abandoned this approach entirely, implementing a new shop mechanic and discarding the loot box system. As Overwatch 2 is a free-to-play game, it welcomes a wide range of players. Nevertheless, the free-to-play model inevitably places a greater emphasis on monetizing cosmetic content.

The high prices associated with Overwatch 2's cosmetics and the limited ways to obtain them without spending money have been major criticisms of the game since its initial release. However, Season 5 of Overwatch 2 has brought about significant changes, and fans can now kick off the recently-launched season by acquiring the Legendary Sprinter Tracer skin from the shop for absolutely no cost. This opportunity to obtain a free skin is quite rare in Overwatch 2, but fans will need to act quickly as the offer is only available in the shop until June 27th.

To claim the skin, players can easily access the shop from the game's main menu and navigate to the section where the Sprinter Tracer skin is located. The skin will be listed with a price of 0 Overwatch Coins, so all that's left to do is select the item and click on "purchase." After June 27th, more free rewards will be introduced in the Overwatch 2 shop as the selection rotates, with the Valkyrie Wings weapon charm being the next item up for grabs.

In addition to the launch of a new season in Overwatch 2, players can also look forward to a new season pass that brings a fresh collection of themed cosmetics throughout the season. Although the majority of these exclusive items are only accessible through the paid premium track of the Season 5 battle pass, such as the highly anticipated Mythic Adventurer Tracer skin, there are also some exciting rewards that can be obtained at no extra cost by simply playing the game and progressing through the levels on the season pass.

Overwatch 2 is available on various platforms including PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
