At this point, Overwatch 2 has become notorious for its expensive cosmetics. It's not at all unusual to see skins available to buy that cost roughly $25, which is a considerable price for a single in-game outfit. To put it into perspective, that's $5 more than the price of the original Overwatch's standard edition back before the free-to-play sequel replaced it.
The sequel's alteration to the first-person-shooter's monetization certainly raised eyebrows at launch, but it wasn't just the players who had questions. In a recent roundtable interview attended by GamesRadar+, game director Aaron Keller revealed that Blizzard "had some worries" regarding whether the game could actually be successful when relying on cosmetics alone.
