Battle Pass

**Battle Pass**  is a monetization system for *Overwatch 2* used to unlock seasonal Heroes and Cosmetics.

## Overview

Battle Pass has two tiers — free, and premium.

Each season has a corresponding battle pass, and players automatically start out on the free track. Each season's battle pass has a variety of cosmetics that can be earned through it, though most are exclusive to the premium track. If the season features a new hero, they are earnable through the free track. A premium pass can be purchased for 1000 Overwatch coins (roughly the equivalent of $10 USD).

All players progress through the battle pass simply by playing the game, as well as through completing daily and weekly challenges which offer significant XP. Players can also progress their battle passes faster by grouping up for a 20% boost on match XP. If a player acquires the premium battle pass later in the season, all previously earned premium tiers unlock at that time. Each season has 80 tiers that a player can progress through.

When the battle pass is completed, i.e. reaches level 80, players can continue to progress through Prestige tiers, available to both free and premium battle passes. Prestige rewards take longer to unlock, and can only be achieved in their correspondent season.

If a player misses out on a hero in a season, they can obtain them in subsequent seasons by completing specific hero challenges. Alternatively, they can get them immediately by purchasing the premium battle pass.
