Overwatch Credits Are Back…With A Catch - Kotaku

After Call of DutyWarzone 2.0 promised a few tweaks to make the game feel more like the first one, Overwatch 2 is now joining in on the fun of reversing changes that made fans deeply unhappy.

Player frustration over the availability of skins and cosmetics locked behind paywalls has been loud and clear since launch, and now Overwatch 2 is aiming to make hero fashion choices a little easier to get in season three.

With a switch to a free-to-play format, Overwatch 2 hasn’t had it easy in satisfying the community the series has built up since 2016.

While Credits are intriguing on paper (and certainly sought after), the fuzziness around the specifics makes this feel like two steps forward, one step-and-half back.

Those who played the first game are likely to have a number of these already, but there’s no way to earn more of them in Overwatch 2; so if you’re new to the series or don’t have access to an old account, you were basically out of luck.

Just as some CoD players have chosen to remain on 2019’s Modern Warfare, I guess we’ll just have to go back and play Overwatch 1 while the sequel is sorted out.
