Overwatch: Loot box item drop rates, probabilities confirmed by Blizzard

Blizzard has complied with Chinese regulations, publishing the likelihood of item drops within Overwatch.

As we reported back in December 2016, the regulations state that game publishers “shall promptly publicly announce information about the name, property, content, quantity, and draw/forge probability of all virtual items and services that can be drawn/forge on the official website or a dedicated draw probability webpage of the game.”

Complying with the regulations, here are Overwatch‘s probabilities when it comes to loot box drops.

  • Blue (Rare item): Every loot box
  • Purple (Epic item): Every 5.5 loot boxes
  • Orange (Legendary item): Every 13.5 loot boxes

While these certainly apply for Chinese Overwatch players, it hasn’t been confirmed if these probabilities apply to other regions.

What do you think of your choices, per loot box?

Overwatch is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.
