Blizzard Offers Free 'Overwatch 2' Skin After Sale Controversy

By MichaelFeb 22,2025

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, leading to widespread calls for refunds. While the Cyber DJ skin has been removed from the in-game store, Blizzard has yet to address the refund requests.

This isn't the first instance of Blizzard selling cosmetic items only to later offer them free through promotions. The perceived unfairness of the situation has fueled player frustration.

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, showcasing new maps, heroes, and other content. Blizzard will also host prominent streamers at their headquarters to preview the upcoming updates.
