Overwatch 2has made significant changes from its original version. With new game modes, heroes and maps,Overwatch 2has finally brought some new content into a game that seriously lacked any. Alongside the various gameplay changes, Blizzard has changed how players can gain cosmetics and added some new ones into the mix.
These new cosmetic items give players more ways to customize their player profile, title and hero appearance - a staple of theOverwatchformat. However, these items don’t come cheap, and will cost players in-game credits if they want new goodies for their favorite hero. Luckily, player titles inOverwatch 2can be unlocked for free.

Overwatch 2 New Cosmetics
WithOverwatch 2becoming free to play, Blizzard has had to monetize the cosmetics. This means the complete removal of all loot boxes inOverwatch 2, and allOverwatch 1credits being turned into legacy credits - a much weaker form of currency. Making up for this however, is the new cosmetic types players can use to customize their heroes and player profile. The new cosmetic types are:
What are Titles?
Titles are essentially little subheadings that players can put under their player name/ IGN. These titles are displayed at the start of ranked matches as well as in Play of the Games. Titles don’t really accomplish anything, they’re just there as a nice flex to other players and to add a bit more customizability to the player’s profile. Some of these titles can be quite hard to unlock, so they’re definitely one of the cosmetics players will look out for, especially if it’s a rare one.
How to Unlock New Titles
Players can unlock new titles in various ways, some of which are time-limited. Players can unlock titles via:
Battle Pass Titles are limited specifically to the Battle Pass and are therefore time limited. As soon as the Battle Pass for that season leaves, there won’t be another way to get said titles. Season 1’s Titles are based around the Mythic Cyber Demon Genji skin, and future battle passes are likely to follow suit. These titles are locked behind level 80 in the Battle Pass and are available at levels 85, 95, 105, 120, 135, 155, 175, and 200.
Conversely, Player Challenges offer titles to players based onvarious challenges they complete. These can vary from winning a certain amount of games as a support/ DPS/ tank hero to reaching a certain rank within a season. Players can find the list of challenges and their rewards in the challenge menu.
Overwatch 2is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
