Players Can Score Free Loot Boxes

Overwatch 2 players have a unique opportunity to claim complimentary loot boxes for a short period. With the most recent Twitch Drops event, participants can secure both a standard and an epic loot box, though these offers are available only for a limited window.

Knowing how to access and use these in-game rewards is essential for those looking to maximize their Overwatch 2 experience. Taking advantage of these time-sensitive promotions can add extra value and excitement to regular gameplay.

Steps to Earn Overwatch 2 Loot Boxes Using Twitch Drops

To receive loot boxes through Twitch Drops, users need to link their Twitch and Battle.net profiles. Begin by logging into Battle.net and heading to the „Account Overview.“ Under the „Connections“ tab, locate Twitch and use the „Connect“ button to link the accounts. This step is essential, as loot box rewards cannot be delivered without a connection.

After connecting, viewers should watch eligible Overwatch 2 streams on Twitch. Rewards are earned based on watch time:

Loot boxes are obtained for each milestone during special campaign windows. When the required watch time is complete, players must claim the rewards from the Twitch Drops inventory page. Keep in mind, there is a limited period to participate—Twitch Drop rewards for current events usually expire after the announced date.

Once claimed, the loot boxes appear in the player’s Overwatch 2 account. Open the game, navigate to the loot box section in the main menu, and access the rewards. Make sure to complete each step before the deadline to receive all eligible drops.

Both the free and premium versions of the seasonal Battle Pass offer loot boxes as part of their progression rewards. Starting July 29, additional epic loot boxes become available by finishing matches as part of a group.
