Blizzard was selling skin in Overwatch 2, but announced a free giveaway 24 hours later

Feb 20,2025 Author: Christian

Blizzard's handling of the Overwatch 2 Cyber DJ skin has ignited another controversy. Initially sold for $19.99, the skin was unexpectedly offered for free a day later to Twitch viewers watching a one-hour broadcast on February 12th.

This sparked considerable backlash from players who had already purchased the skin. The situation, while not unprecedented for Blizzard (who have a history of this practice), is fueling calls for refunds due to perceived unfairness. The Cyber DJ skin has been removed from the store, but Blizzard has yet to address refund requests.

Facing stiff competition, particularly from the successful Marvel Rivals, Blizzard is countering with a promise of significant gameplay changes. These changes will be revealed during a special Overwatch 2 Spotlight event on February 12th. The event will showcase new maps, heroes, and other content, and will feature prominent streamers given an exclusive preview at Blizzard headquarters.
