Blizzard has detailed its plans for Overwatch’s existing currencies and lootboxes as the developer looks to the launch of Overwatch 2 as a free-to-play early access game this October.
As announced previously, Overwatch 2 will not contain any loot boxes, with items instead made available for purchase directly instead.
Writing in a reddit AMA last night, Blizzard explained that any unopened loot boxes would be automatically redeemed ahead of Overwatch 2’s launch.
