Get Overwatch 2’s Premium Battle Pass for free with this bizarre glitch

The arrival of Overwatch 2 has introduced the game’s new Battle Pass system, which replaces the original title’s loot box model with tracks that players can earn cosmetic rewards from directly. The Battle Passes feature 80 tiers of rewards in total, and while a handful of them can be acquired by free-to-play users, most of them require Premium access. Overwatch 2’s Premium Battle Pass costs 1,000 Overwatch Coins, which is $10 worth, so naturally, many players have wondered whether or not there’s a way to get Premium for free.

Until now, the answer to that question has been “no,” as players can’t earn enough Overwatch Coins in a season to purchase its Battle Pass before the season ends. However, thanks to the discovery of a bizarre glitch by Twitter user @freeboop1, there is a way to get access to the Premium Battle Pass for free. And all you need to perform it is 700 Legacy Credits, a currency from the original game that carried over into Overwatch 2 and is used to buy basic or older items (new players can’t take advantage of this glitch, unfortunately).
