In it, he called the reactions &#8220;fair&#8221; and announced some improvements to the rewards coming next week.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of needing to grind out almost 100 matches to earn the anniversary loot boxes, you&#8217;ll only need to complete 60, with wins counting as two. In addition to that, the loot boxes rewarded to everyone for filling up a meter based on players collectively completing challenges will be doubled next week and tripled the week after. And in the final week, everyone who logs in will get a special anniversary loot box that has four Legendary skins.<\/p>\n<div class=\"see-more see-more--clipped\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet hawk-ignore\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Looking ahead, we\u2019re also planning an\u202fadditional\u202fseason-long event\u202fin Season 3 with even more rewards, expanding the base level of earnable rewards in our weekly Play N Games tracker, while working on other ideas for later in\u202fthe year. 6\/8<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cantworkitout\/status\/2055363963450523700\">May 15, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"see-more__filter\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Keller also announced that the next season will have a new event with &#8220;even more rewards&#8221; and that the team is working on ways to offer more free cosmetics &#8220;later in the year.&#8221; In other words, the 10th anniversary celebration will continue for the next few seasons in some shape or form.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I understand that future rewards don&#8217;t make this specific event bigger, but I hope it gives some context for how we&#8217;re thinking about this year as a whole,&#8221; Keller wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Early reactions to the news are <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/bunnimoniOW\/status\/2055365219409408264\">mostly positive<\/a>, although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Overwatch\/comments\/1te630e\/comment\/om09e8k\/\">some players<\/a> still think the recolored anniversary skins aren&#8217;t good enough. I&#8217;ve seen people argue that Blizzard should be handing out some of the most expensive skins in the game for free and others say that they&#8217;re surprised they got anything for free.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, the flood of pricey shop cosmetics over the last few years has kept my expectations low when it comes to events like these, but I still think Blizzard could&#8217;ve done something more exciting for the 10th anniversary. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/overwatchs-og-mode-has-made-me-realise-how-far-this-game-has-come-and-how-good-we-have-it-right-now\/\">&#8220;classic&#8221; mode<\/a> that attempts to emulate the original game as it was when it launched is a neat addition, and it would&#8217;ve been cool to see a bunch of cosmetics that actually tie into the game&#8217;s history. It&#8217;s Overwatch after all, an FPS that basically created an entire sub-genre. Not a lot of games do that and also manage to stick around for a decade. A set of slightly renewed skins and some sprays that recreate memes doesn&#8217;t really match the gravity of such an achievement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"38e299c0-512a-478f-a055-9aca95dd3d27\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/overwatchs-lackluster-10th-anniversary-event-will-have-its-rewards-improved-next-week-with-more-free-stuff-planned-for-later-this-year.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"38e299c0-512a-478f-a055-9aca95dd3d27\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/overwatchs-lackluster-10th-anniversary-event-will-have-its-rewards-improved-next-week-with-more-free-stuff-planned-for-later-this-year\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overwatch players expected a lot more for its 10th anniversary in-game event.
