With the release of Overwatch 2 getting closer, fans have been wondering whether or not the game will feature cross-progression. With the recent unveiling of the new battle pass and free-to-play model, Activision Blizzard also announced that Overwatch 2 would feature cross-progression.
Cross-progression systems have been growing in popularity in recent years, with titles such as Fortnite, Rocket League, and SMITE all implementing their own means of saving progress and content across different platforms.
The system is much more popular with free-to-play games, so it makes sense that Overwatch 2 would get a new cross-progression system with their shift to a free-to-play model.
#Overwatch2 arrives October 4, ushering in a new era for the franchise as a free-to-play live service game!
