Currency

Credits are a form of currency in Overwatch and Overwatch 2.

Overwatch[ | ]

In Overwatch, credits could be used to buy skins, sprays, voice lines, emotes, victory poses and highlight intros. They could be found in Loot Boxes either directly, as an amount of money, or indirectly, as a compensation for duplicate drops. During Seasonal Events, new cosmetics cost ×3 the usual number of credits that an item of that rarity would normally cost, while returning items will have the same cost as standard items of the same rarity.

Overwatch 2[ | ]

Credits were dubbed "Legacy Credits" in Overwatch 2, and were carried over between games. As of Season 3, credits are earnable again; players are able to earn 1500 credits through the season, and another 500 credits through the season's Battle Pass. Nearly all epic and legendary-tier skins prior to Overwatch 2 will always be available in the hero gallery for purchase with either Overwatch Coins or credits. This includes skins from seasonal event modes.[1]
