Is the Overwatch 2 Ultimate Pass Bundle Worth It?

Season 7 of Overwatch 2 is out and with it the Ultimate Battle Pass Bundle. This bundle will give you exclusive skins, a premium battle pass and other goodies – but it costs USD 40. As players wait for the Diablo-inspired Lilith Moira and Inarius Farah skins, everyone has one question in mind: Is the Ultimate Battle Pass Bundle worth paying for?

What’s In the Bundle?

The Ultimate Battle Pass Bundle includes the following items:

• Season 7 Premium Battle Pass
• 20 Battle Pass Tier Skips
• 22,000 Overwatch Coins
• The Legendary Infinite Guard: 76 Skin – Epic Infinite Ace D.Va Skin – Epic Infinite Ace
• Endless Airwings Weapon Charm
• Lilith Moira Legendary Skin (Diablo Crossover)
• Inarius Farah Legendary Skin (Diablo Crossover)

At first glance, the bundle looks like a bargain: it comes with two legendary skins from the forthcoming Diablo IV, plus a pile of Overwatch Coins and other cosmetics.

The Backlash and Criticism

Despite the appeal of the skins, the Ultimate Battle Pass Bundle has been heavily criticized by Overwatch players. Players have taken to forums and social media to complain about the bundle price and the lack of an alternative way to get the Lilith Moira and Inarius Farah skins.

One Reddit user wrote “I saw the new Moira and Farah skin in the trailer and was excited for the first time in ages… some of the best looking skins we’ve seen in ages and it’s locked in a shitty payware bundle, not even for the premium battle pass but the goddamn ultimate they need money for.”

The criticism goes beyond the skins themselves, as players claim Blizzard raised the Ultimate Battle Pass Bundle price compared to previous seasons without offering enough value to justify the increase.

What is the Value Proposition

Although the Ultimate battle Pass Bundle is certainly packed with content, the USD 40 price tag could be a deterrent to many players, particularly those who have purchased previous Battle passes and have collected Overwatch Coins.

Thankfully for those looking for a bargain, the bundle also offers a way to secure future battle passes for less than $2 (you can spend none of those Overwatch Coins to buy two more battle passes though).

But for those players who only want the Lilith Moira and Inarius Farah skins, the bundle might not be worth it, as those skins can not be bought separately or obtained through other means, such as the premium battle pass.

Weighing the Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Includes exclusive Diablo crossover skins
• Provides 2,000 Overwatch Coins for future battle passes
• Offers a premium battle pass and other cosmetic items

Cons:

• Expensive USD 40 price tag
• Exclusive skins can not be purchased individually.
• Perceived lack of value compared to previous seasons

Conclusion

For players, the Overwatch 2 Ultimate Battle Pass Bundle is a mixed blessing. It comes with a decent rewards package, including the Diablo crossover skins fans have been raving about, but the USD 40 price tag and the exclusivity of some items have been widely criticized by the community.

Ultimately, though, which bundle to buy will be based on individual tastes and priorities. The Ultimate battle Pass Bundle may be worth it for players who plan on using multiple Battle passes and value the added benefits. But for those primarily after the exclusive skins, the bundle might not be worth it, and they might just hold out for future chances to pick up the skins via other means.
