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

Author : Nicholas Feb 20,2025

Blizzard's handling of the Overwatch 2 Cyber DJ skin has ignited another controversy. Initially sold for $19.99, the skin was later revealed to be a free reward for watching a Twitch stream for an hour on February 12th. This announcement, made a day after the sale began, angered many players who had already purchased the skin.

This isn't the first instance of Blizzard selling cosmetic items and subsequently offering them for free. Players are demanding refunds, citing unfair practices. While the Cyber DJ skin has been removed from the store, Blizzard hasn't addressed refund requests.

Facing stiff competition, particularly from Marvel Rivals, Blizzard announced a significant Overwatch 2 Spotlight event on February 12th. This event will showcase revolutionary gameplay changes, new maps, heroes, and other content. Blizzard will also host prominent streamers at their headquarters to preview the upcoming updates.
