Is Overwatch 2 coming to Xbox Game Pass? 

Overwatch 2 is not coming to Xbox Game Pass. Instead, the game will be free-to-play when it releases on Tuesday, October 4. This means players across PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, as well as PC, will be able to delve into the game without needing an active Game Pass Subscription. 

It’s important to note that only the PvP portion of Overwatch 2 will be free-to-play, so those looking to play the PvE content will need to purchase a full copy of the game. Of course, Game Pass members could receive some exclusive in-game rewards in the future. However, Blizzard has yet to reveal whether this will be the case. 

So, there you have it, everything you need to know on whether Overwatch 2 will be available on Game Pass. Make sure you check out our Overwatch page for all the latest guides and information.
