Overwatch lootboxes won’t disappear with the first game. One of the questions in the minds of players since Overwatch 2 was announced was what the content they obtained in the first game, such as costumes and loot boxes, would be. Since Overwatch 2 would replace the first game when it came out, players who accumulated loot boxes in the first game risked losing them when Overwatch 2 came out .
Overwatch lootboxes will be transferred to Overwatch 2 and opened automatically
Overwatch lootboxes will be automatically unlocked when Overwatch 2 launches on October 4, and any resulting cosmetic items will be transferred to Overwatch 2. Since the first Overwatch with a loot box system will be a thing of the past, Overwatch 2 will be free and will no longer use the loot box system, it will come with the Battle Pass system and in-game store instead.
Overwatch developer Jon Spector participated in a Q&A event on Reddit. he used the following expressions on the subject.
“We will give you detailed answers to all your questions just before Overwatch 2 is released, but to answer briefly, everything you have, including your Overwatch credits, Overwatch League tokens, lootboxes, will be transferred to Overwatch 2.”
As it can be understood from here, those who played the first game of Overwatch will be transferred to the second game for free when the second game is released.
