Overwatch loot box sales close on 30 August

So buy up and unlock 'em all before Overwatch 2 if you're so inclined!

Overwatch loot box sales will conclude on 30 August, Activision Blizzard has today proclaimed.

“Loot Boxes will no longer be available for sale after the end of the Anniversary Remix Vol. 3 event on August 30,” the publisher said in a blog post. “However, you will still be able to earn standard loot boxes after the end of the event.”

Said loot boxes will automatically open in the shift between Overwatch and its sequel Overwatch 2, which will fully replace the team-based hero shooter from 5 October.

Overwatch 2 won’t have loot boxes of any kind, though a recent survey sent to players suggested that some of its cosmetic items may set players back up to $45 USD.

The original Overwatch‘s Anniversary Remix Vol. 3 event is on now and runs until the end of the month.

Overwatch 2 goes free-to-play on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4, PS5 and Switch on 5 October 2022 here in Australia. We went in-depth on what to expect from it here.
