For those who haven't received an invitation to the Overwatch 2 beta, there is a second opportunity via the Watchpoint Pack. It has a fair bit of value, considering it offers content related to both Overwatch and Overwatch 2. It's still a great opportunity to try out Junker Queen, the newest hero coming to Overwatch 2.

The content in the Watchpoint Pack that is exclusive to Overwatch 2:

  • Immediate access to the crossplay beta (the PVP portion)
  • Exclusive player icon to use when the game launches
  • 2000 virtual currency
  • Legendary-rarity Space Raider skin for Soldier 76
  • Legendary-rarity Space Raider skin for Cassidy
  • Premium Battle Pass (limited to Season 1)

The content in the Watchpoint Pack that's related to Overwatch:

  • Overwatch: Legendary Edition
  • 5 Epic-rarity skins
  • 5 Legendary-rarity skins
  • Okami Hanzo skin
  • Shrike Ana skin

Depending on which platform players would like to purchase the Watchpoint Pack for, the process is very similar across each one, but with minor differences.

To purchase the Watchpoint Pack on PlayStation consoles, players can do this by accessing the PlayStation Store. Both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation owners can join the beta by purchasing the bundle.

  • Step 1: Open the PlayStation Store.

For the most part, the Watchpoint Pack is a pretty good deal. The biggest ticket item players will want to consider is the immediate access to the Overwatch 2 beta, seeing as the second beta now includes PlayStation and Xbox as part of the test. This is essentially a second opportunity to join the beta, even if players didn't receive an invitation by signing up.

The other worthwhile item is the Premium Battle Pass; now that Overwatch 2 will be free-to-play, Activision Blizzard has opted for a battle pass system.
