by

Summary

  • A new Overwatch 2 Twitch Drop campaign offers two free Loot Boxes, including a guaranteed Epic, to celebrate the mid-Season 16 update.
  • Players can earn the Loot Boxes by viewing up to five hours of Overwatch 2 streams on Twitch, unlocking a total of eight cosmetics.
  • The mid-Season 16 update brings balance adjustments, a Street Fighter 6 collab, new events, and Freja in Stadium.

In celebration of its mid-Season 16 update, Overwatch 2 is offering two complimentary Loot Boxes, one containing a guaranteed Epic item, through its Twitch Drop campaign. From this moment until June 1st, viewers who watch five hours of any Overwatch 2 streamers on Twitch will be able to claim these Loot Boxes for their inventory without needing to play the game.

The update for Season 16 of Overwatch 2 has been released, featuring a variety of balance changes, kick-starting the Street Fighter 6 collaboration and an Overwatch Classic event, and introducing Freja to Stadium. This update signifies we’re halfway through Seasons 16 and marks the approach of Season 17, which is scheduled for June 24.

For its usual seasonal and midseason updates, Overwatch 2 has initiated a fresh Twitch Drops campaign. Unlike prior occasions, the rewards this time are unique. By tuning into five hours of any Overwatch 2 streamers on Twitch before June 2, viewers can collect both a standard and an Epic Loot Box. Combined, these items will grant access to eight cosmetics for their account, with the Epic Loot Box guaranteeing at least one top-tier drop.

How to Get Overwatch 2 Mid-Season 16 Twitch Drops

  • Connect one’s Twitch and Battle.net accounts
  • Watch any Twitch channel playing Overwatch 2 from now through June 1, 11:58 PM PT to earn the following rewards:
    • 2 hours: Loot Box
    • 5 hours: Epic Loot Box
  • Once complete, claim rewards from the Twitch Drops inventory
  • Loot Boxes will automatically appear in Overwatch 2

In summary, many Twitch Drop campaigns offer either existing shop bundles or fresh skins, like the Ice Princess Symmetra cosmetics introduced during Overwatch 2 Season 16. Interestingly, it appears that mid-Season 16 Drops are taking a cue from the mid-Season 15 campaign by providing Loot Boxes instead of usual items. However, the twist is that instead of receiving five regular Loot Boxes, fans can secure an elusive Epic Loot Box. Players can anticipate acquiring numerous new cosmetics for their account, with no Twitch Drop featuring a skin they’ve previously bought from the shop in prior times.

Enthusiasts eager to gather additional items can accomplish this through three ongoing in-game activities at present. By finishing assorted challenges within the games, players have the chance to secure a variety of sprays, voice lines, and a title from the Overwatch 2 x Street Fighter 6 collaboration, player icons, a weapon charm, and an additional Epic Loot Box via the Overwatch Classic event, and yet another Epic Loot Box through a new mission in the Stadium: Initiation season-long event. Given that players receive a guaranteed Legendary item upon opening four Epic Loot Boxes, it’s advisable for fans to amass all these unique items.
