"Overwatch 2's Mythic Skin Store and Season 10 Changes"

Overwatch 2's new Mythic Shop allows players to buy old Mythic Skins using a new currency called Mythic Prisms, which can be earned through the premium battle pass or purchased with real money. However, catching up on missed skins is expensive, with bundles of Prisms costing up to $74.99, far more than the previous premium battle pass cost of $10. This change follows the decision to no longer put heroes behind the battle pass, but has sparked criticism for its high cost and shift in monetization practices.

"Overwatch 2 to Offer Free Heroes and Revamp Mythic Skin System"

Blizzard announces that new heroes in Overwatch 2 will be instantly available to all players, eliminating the advantage of paying players who previously accessed them faster through the Premium Battle Pass. While this change benefits free-to-play users, those who purchased the pass for quicker hero unlocks will not receive any compensation, as Blizzard confirmed no plans for refunds or gifts. The shift will apply to both upcoming and existing heroes, affecting the distribution model from Season 10 onwards.

"Blizzard adjusts Diablo 4 menu to prevent accidental activation of Premium Battle Passes"

Blizzard is addressing player complaints about accidentally activating Premium Battle Passes in Diablo 4 due to menu design. The Season menu includes an option called Activate Premium, which instantly activates the pass without a confirmation prompt. Some players who received a Premium Battle Pass with the Deluxe and Ultimate Editions may want to save it for a future season. Blizzard is working on a temporary fix to prevent the cursor from defaulting to the Activate Premium option. This issue adds to recent fan backlash over patch 1.1.0, but Diablo 4 remains the fastest-selling title for Blizzard.
