Fans are upset with the Battle Pass for Overwatch 2, claiming that it is “more expensive than ever.”

Overwatch 2, in contrast to its predecessor, is a free-to-play game, which means that millions of gamers will be able to experience this triple AAA blockbuster. Due to the buggy launch of Overwatch 2, hundreds of thousands of people are now attempting to connect to the game’s servers in order to take part in all the mayhem and excitement that Overwatch 2 has to offer.

Unfortunately, not all gamers are satisfied with the free-to-play model, and a great number of players have already begun to grumble about the amount of money they will have to pay for the game’s battle pass.

A post that was made on the Overwatch subreddit on October 5 began to gather popularity in the community, and many fans are still commenting on it today. According to the post, a lot of players are unhappy with the free-to-play format that Overwatch 2 has adopted, and they believe that it will be more expensive to purchase all of the cosmetic goods in contrast to the $60 that they spent to get the original Overwatch title.

At the moment that this article is being written, the post had about three thousand upvotes and more than one thousand comments. This indicates that the topic is receiving a lot of attention in the subreddit.

Many users are of the opinion that Overwatch 1 did not experience all of the commercialization issues that come along with having a game free-to-play, despite the fact that it had loot boxes, which are something that is very contentious in the gaming world.

Fans of Overwatch now believe that even though the free-to-play model will allow more players to test out the game, it will hurt the community because many players do not want to invest a lot of time or money into the game in order to earn cosmetics that were available for free in the game’s previous iteration. This belief is shared by many Overwatch fans.

For many gamers, the free-to-play business model has been both a boon and a bane in equal measure. There is a solid reason why this business model has become the subject of conversation among a significant number of players. This gaming model is well-known for providing players with the opportunity to play a game free of charge in return for aggressive monetization strategies, which are the primary cause of the demise of a large number of games in recent years.

Warframe is one of the few games that has been successful with this approach, so if Blizzard Entertainment wants to make this game as popular as possible without being overly pushy with its commercialization, they should start paying attention to what Warframe has to offer.

Since the debut of Overwatch 2 was on October 4, there is still a significant amount of time to address the complaints of these gamers. Since the game’s initial release, Blizzard Entertainment has received a lot of feedback on various connection-related problems that players have been experiencing. Therefore, it is likely that the developers will address these problems when they have brought the game to a stable state.

Overwatch 2 is currently available for purchase on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S|X. Visit the official Overwatch Twitter feed for further details on the game.
