Overwatch 2 Update 3.69 Patch Notes | Overwatch 2 Update 1.000.033 Patch Notes | OW2 Winter Wonderland 2023 Details:
Chill out in the Arcade
Winter Wonderland brings festive ways to play Overwatch 2 this holiday season with four returning event mode favorites! If this is your first holiday season playing, keep reading to find out how to play these cool game modes in the Arcade.
Tactical elimination and silly strategies await in Mei’s Snowball Offensive. Armed with snowballs that will knock out the opponents with a single hit, you’ll need to defend yourself with Ice Walls and Cyro Freeze to avoid getting eliminated. If you miss, find fresh snow to vacuum up and reload your shot. Go on a frosty frenzy when you launch your Ultimate and rapid-fire several snowballs in succession. Play with a team in a 5v5 Elimination Ruleset, or prove yourself as a solo-snowball master in a free-for-all Deathmatch.
Festive New Rewards Await at the Winter Fair
This season, we’re introducing the Winter Fair Event Pass – a new way to unlock Holiday-themed rewards. When you play games of Overwatch 2, you’ll earn tickets to spend at the Winter Fair and unlock rewards of your choice. Tickets are earned for every nine games played, with wins counting as double.
Play on the free track and earn enough tickets to redeem for one free legendary skin of your choice. Choose from the stylish Formalwear Legendary skins for Cassidy or Baptiste, or the warm and cozy Winter Jammies Illari Legendary skin.
If you’re sleighing for more, upgrade to the Premium track for a holiday special price of 500 Overwatch Coins to earn bonus tickets and be able to unlock up to three additional Legendary skins plus other cosmetic items. Unlock new items like the Legendary Wrapping Paper Reinhardt, or pick up the Legendary Kerrigan Widowmaker skin inspired by the StarCraft® hero.
Make sure you spend your earned tickets for these limited-time cosmetics before they disappear! You can spend your tickets on items in the Winter Fair, one week after the Winter Wonderland event. After January 15, any remaining unspent tickets will convert to Overwatch Credits that you can spend on classic Overwatch cosmetics available in the Hero Gallery.
