Overwatch’s old battle passes are finally coming back permanently starting next month, but some of the rewards will be left out
Overwatch 2's original limited-time battle passes are set to become permanently purchasable starting next month, ending years of complaints from players who missed out on older seasons and their exclusive cosmetics. Developer Blizzard announced the change as part of a broader push to make past content more accessible, addressing long-standing frustration in the community over rewards that had previously vanished once a season ended.
Not everything is returning, however: some rewards tied to specific past events or promotions will remain excluded from the reintroduced passes, meaning certain items will still be unobtainable. Blizzard has not detailed the full list of exclusions, but has confirmed the rollout will begin next month, giving players a long-awaited chance to buy into seasons they previously missed.
- Old Overwatch 2 battle passes return permanently from next month.
- Move addresses years of player complaints about missed content.
- Some past rewards will still be excluded from the returning passes.
