Isnt this a free game? Also owned by microsoft and it took this long to fold into the service

I have never played an Overwatch game. Probably because I don't do multiplayer much anymore. I assume the benefit here for GP users is the DLC?

Isn’t Overwatch 2 F2P? Adding F2P games to your subscription service is the dumbest thing to do. Those games are completely free to download and play.

Ig it makes it look good when promoting & it shows Overwatch on your trailer when showcasing Overwatch. They gonna say “Now you can play X f2p game on your subscription” as filler additions

I believe the OP needs to be fixed.
The game is F2P.

What is coming to Gamepass is some free items.

Maybe that can help save the game.... lol not.

I guess its the battle pass? But also weird again because they have owned ABK for closing in on a year. How was battle pass and rest still not added to the subscription

So...free skins for gamepass users like ps plus rewards...

 

[Would_you_kindly]

Pretty sure the games free to play ...

Nothing major and nothing insulting. It would only be funny if you had access to the skins only while you were a Gamepass user.

1st party development must be going really badly if they're now announcing free-to-play games as part of GamePass.
