Overwatch 2 Season 10 Launches with Major Updates
Overwatch 2 season 10 is now live, bringing significant changes to Blizzard’s game monetization strategies. This season introduces the new hero Venture, which is available for free to all players, diverging from previous practices of hero access through the battle pass.
New Currencies and Mythic Skins in Overwatch 2 Season 10
Overwatch 2 season 10 also introduces new forms of currency: Overwatch Coins and Mythic Prisms. These are integral to the game’s economy, allowing players to acquire the season’s new mythic skin, Vengeance Mercy, as well as other mythic skins from past seasons. Notably, the latest mythic skins for Moira and Orisa will be held back from the shop until future seasons.
Pricing Structure for Mythic Prisms in Overwatch 2 Season 10
As part of Overwatch 2 season 10, Blizzard has also started selling Mythic Prisms directly. These are available in three packages:
- 10 Mythic Prisms for $9.99
- 50 Mythic Prisms for $39.99
- 100 Mythic Prisms for $79.99
Purchasing mythic skins can be costly, with a base mythic skin priced at 50 Mythic Prisms, or $39.99, and a fully upgraded skin costing 80 Mythic Prisms. This places the starting price for a complete mythic skin at approximately $70, varying slightly depending on the bundle chosen.
Earning Mythic Prisms Through the Battle Pass
Overwatch 2 season 10’s premium battle pass offers players a way to earn Mythic Prisms by progressing through tiers. Starting from Tier 8, players earn 8 Mythic Prisms every 10 tiers until reaching Tier 78, which is enough to unlock additional levels for a Mythic hero skin. This system provides a feasible option for players to acquire full mythic skins without direct purchases.
Blizzard’s New Strategy on Mythic Skins in Overwatch 2 Season 10
Blizzard’s revamped approach in Overwatch 2 season 10 is designed to give players greater flexibility in how they acquire and use skins, focusing on player choice for character customization. This change aims to address previous criticisms regarding the game’s monetization by offering alternatives to direct purchases.
Player Reaction and Future Outlook
While Overwatch 2 season 10 removes the controversial hero paywall, introducing a freer access model, the high cost of mythic skins continues to be a hot topic among the community. With older skins potentially costing a player over $500 if they choose to invest in Mythic Prisms, the debate over Blizzard’s monetization practices is likely to persist.
