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

Author : Ryan Update：Feb 23,2025

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 led to widespread player anger, as many had already purchased the skin. While the skin has been removed from the in-game store, Blizzard remains silent on refund requests. This isn't the first time Blizzard has faced backlash for selling cosmetic items only to later give them away for free.

Facing stiff competition, particularly from Marvel Rivals, Blizzard announced a special Overwatch 2 Spotlight event on February 12th to showcase significant gameplay changes. The event promises reveals of new maps, heroes, and other content, with prominent streamers invited to Blizzard headquarters for an exclusive preview. The company hopes these reveals will reinvigorate player interest in the game.
