Blizzard was selling skin in Overwatch 2, but announced a free giveaway 24 hours later

Author : Natalie Update:Apr 17,2025

Blizzard finds itself embroiled in another controversy with Overwatch 2, this time over the Cyber DJ skin for Lucio. Initially priced at $19.99 in the in-game store, Blizzard later announced that this skin would be available for free to those who watched a special Overwatch 2 event on Twitch for just one hour on February 12. This unexpected turn left many players who had already purchased the skin feeling misled and frustrated.

The Cyber DJ skin, which quickly became a hot topic on platforms like Reddit, is no longer available for purchase in the store. Players are now calling for refunds, arguing that the situation is unfair. Blizzard has yet to respond to these demands, leaving the community in a state of uncertainty.

This isn't the first instance where Blizzard has offered paid cosmetic items for free through promotions, further fueling player discontent. Amidst these challenges, Overwatch 2 faces stiff competition from Marvel Rivals, which is currently outperforming it in various aspects.

In response to these pressures, Blizzard is set to unveil significant gameplay changes at the Overwatch 2 Spotlight event, also scheduled for February 12. The event promises to introduce new maps, heroes, and other exciting content. To generate buzz and provide a sneak peek at the upcoming updates, Blizzard will host popular streamers at their headquarters.
