Overwatch 2 Season 10 is highly anticipated due to the number of changes announced by Blizzard. These tweaks promise to change Overwatch 2 significantly, shaking up the current state of the hero shooter.
One of the Season 10 changes most celebrated by players is that Overwatch 2 heroes will be free. Previously, heroes were locked behind battle passes, a decision that proved to be quite controversial.
