Overwatch 2 players have about one more week to complete the Season 17 Battle Pass.
If you haven’t completed your Overwatch 2 Season 17 Battle Pass yet, then Blizzard Entertainment and Twitch are offering some help in the form of free tier skips. Here’s our quick guide on how to unlock these and how tier skips work in Overwatch 2.
How to get free tier skips before Overwatch 2 Season 18
From now until Aug. 25 at 11:59 p.m. PT, you can earn up to five free Overwatch 2 Battle Pass tier skips through Twitch Drops. Simply log in to Twitch and your Battle.net account,link these up, and watch some Overwatch 2 gameplay on an eligible Twitch channel. You get one tier skip per hour of watch time.
After collecting these free Overwatch 2 Twitch Drops via yourTwitch inventory, launch Overwatch 2 to automatically apply them to the Season 17 Battle Pass.
Do note that these tier skips don’t apply to the prestige tiers of the Battle Pass. This means if you’ve already completed 80 tiers of the Battle Pass, then the tier skips are banked for the Season 18 Battle Pass instead.
