After controversy, Blizzard changed an element of Overwatch 2’s Battle Pass

Overwatch 2 it received a lot of criticism upon its launch due to its less-than-ideal monetization model. Blizzard Entertainment listened to that feedback and in Season 3 introduced changes to improve the experience. Although the players received these news with open arms, the truth is that there was also room for controversy.

Players can now earn Credits by leveling up in the Battle Pass. That currency is used to purchase skins and more cosmetic items, but only those that debuted in the 2016 installment. So, to buy the newest items in the store, Overwatch Coins are necessary, which are obtained by completing weekly challenges or with real money.

The problem is that the Credits that appeared in the Battle Pass had the same color and an icon very similar to Overwatch Coins, so it is possible that some users believed that they would be able to obtain the premium currency that is used to purchase the newest items.
