Legacy Credits As Free Rewards

Back in Overwatch 1, players could earn Legacy Credits for free and use them to buy skins. However, with the launch of Overwatch 2, credits were abolished... This means that you could still spend the credits you had in OW1, but you could no longer earn new ones.

Luckily, that's going to change in season 3. A new monetization update is going to give players the chance to earn Legacy Credits for free. There will be a total of 1500 Credits available in the season 3 battle pass and an additional 500 if you possess the premium version.

Legendary Skin Prices Reduced

We will be able to spend legacy credits on Overwatch 1 skins, which will now be available for purchase in the Hero Gallery at all times, even including event skins.

The standard price for legendary Overwatch 1 skins is going to be lowered to 1500 credits or coins, meaning that you could earn one free legendary skin of your choice every season. Of course, you'd have to grind through the battle pass like a maniac, but who cares? This update is the most accommodating thing Blizzard has done for us since launch. Let's be happy about it for once...

By the way, playing Overwatch 2 is a way better vibe with the right equipment! Check this out , and you'll find everything you need for the perfect gaming setup.
