Summary
Season 10 ofOverwatch 2is finally here, and while it does pack plenty of goodies for players, the new Mythic Prism currency it introduces has fans disappointed due to the considerably high prices players will have to pay to obtain them. Many fans ofOverwatch 2have been interested in an alternative method of obtaining the elusive mythic-tier skins that come out with every new season, but for now, it seems that grinding out each battle pass remains the easiest way of unlocking them.
Overwatch 2’s latest season is certainly a big one, not only bringing in the game’s 40th hero in the form of Venture, but also slightly reworking battle pass rewards to include Overwatch Coins. Later on in the month, fans will be able to take part in the limited-timeMirrorwatch event inOverwatch 2, which entertains the concept of Overwatch agents instead working for the Talon organization and vice versa. The battle pass is packed with tons of awesome new cosmetics to fit this theme, with popular members of Overwatch such as Tracer, Reinhardt, and Ana getting their own twisted Talon skins and heroes such as Doomfist and Widowmaker receiving Overwatch-themed looks instead.
Mythic skins, however, are getting mixed up a little inOverwatch 2’s tenth season. The game’s shop now features a separate section where players can purchase anyMythic-tier item released forOverwatch 2’s various charactersso far at the cost of a new currency called Mythic Prisms. While most fans had anticipated this new method of unlocking Mythic skins that they had missed out on in the past, excitement has turned to resounding disappointment after players discovered that the cost of 80 Prisms - the amount needed to acquire a fully-upgraded Mythic skin - rounds up to an eye-watering price of $75 USD.
Overwatch 2 Mythic Prism Bundle Prices
While perhaps it’s not too surprising thatOverwatch 2’s premium currencycomes at such a high price, it’s still safe to say that previous seasons' Mythic skins remain to be little more accessible to the average player now than they were previously. Players do have some control over how much they spend on these cosmetics though, with Mythic Prisms being sold in bundles of 10, 50, and 100, and each Mythic requiring a greater investment of Prisms depending on how much players wish to upgrade them.
While manyOverwatch 2players may be upset to learn that the Mythic skin they wanted remains out of their reach, there is still some good news. Up to 80 Prisms can be earned throughOverwatch 2’s current premium battle pass, and while players will still need to fork over 1,000 Overwatch Coins for the premium battle pass - or $9.99 in real money - the overall mechanism to unlock Mythic skins remains mostly unchanged, though players can now decide which one they want to unlock.
