JOIN THE PARTY

Cheers to six years of worldwide payload-pushing, high-intensity battlefield brawls, and a fight for the future that’s just beginning. To celebrate the final installment of this three-part event series, we’re unlocking the skin vault and bringing back even more gear you might have missed out on–with an exclusive twist. Flex on your foes in style with limited looks like Tagged Tracer, Varsity D.Va, Genjiman Genji, and more.


LEVEL UP YOUR COLLECTION

Earn and purchase Anniversary Loot Boxes throughout the event! Each Loot Box has a chance to contain items from past Anniversary and seasonal events; don’t wait too long to snag those skins you’ve been eyeing for the past year, though–Loot Boxes will no longer be available for sale after the end of the Anniversary Remix Vol. 3 event on August 30. However, you will still be able to earn standard loot boxes after the end of the event.*

*Loot Boxes will open automatically before the launch of Overwatch 2. After September 14, 2022, all remaining unopened Loot Boxes will automatically open upon login and all items contained within will be added to your account.
