Overwatch 2 Players Get Free Tier
Overwatch 2 players are approaching the final stretch of Season 17, with only a short window left to finish progressing through the Battle Pass. As the season nears its end, the pressure to unlock remaining rewards grows, especially for those who have not yet completed all available tiers.
To ease this final push, Blizzard has introduced opportunities to claim free tier skips through Twitch Drops. These skips allow players to advance more quickly, helping them secure rewards before the launch of Season 18.
Ways to Claim Free Tier Skips Before Season 18 in Overwatch 2
Players can secure up to five free Battle Pass tier skips by using Twitch Drops before the cutoff on August 25 at 11:59 p.m. PT. To participate, they need to link their Twitch and Battle.net accounts, then watch eligible Overwatch 2 streams. Each hour of viewing grants one tier skip, with a maximum of five.
Once earned, the skips appear in the player’s Twitch inventory. Claiming them transfers the rewards into Overwatch 2, where they are automatically applied to the Season 17 Battle Pass.
It’s important to note that these skips do not apply to prestige tiers. For players who already completed all 80 standard
Overwatch 2 Season 17 Battle Pass advanced tier rewards
Season 17 introduces a set of prestige rewards that extend beyond the standard 80 levels of the Battle Pass. These advanced tiers focus on exclusive player titles rather than cosmetic items, giving dedicated players recognition for pushing past the usual progression.
Each milestone unlocks a unique title, with requirements spread across levels 85 through 200. The full list is shown below:
| Tier Level | Rewarded Title |
|---|---|
| 85 | Retro Gamer |
| 95 | Teacher’s Pet |
| 105 | Fragile Flower |
| 115 | Min-Maxer |
| 130 | Bad Apple |
| 150 | Fleeting Beauty |
| 175 | Smarty Pants |
| 200 | n00b |
Unlike earlier stages, these levels demand more consistent playtime since each reward is tied to a higher threshold. Players aiming to reach the final title must commit to completing matches and challenges steadily throughout the season.
The design of these rewards emphasizes status rather than visual upgrades, making them most appealing to those who value recognition within the community. For players who enjoy long-term goals, these prestige tiers provide an additional layer of progression beyond the core Battle Pass.
