Unfortunately no. The Spray, Player Icon, and Epic Skin from each seasonal event weekly challenge do not appear in Loot Boxes. There is no way to get them once that weekly challenge passes.

To clarify, Tagged Tracer is the brand new Anniversary Remixed Legendary skin and will appear in Anniversary Loot Boxes. This week’s current challenge will earn the Comic Book Epic skin for Tracer if you did not earn it when we ran the original Tracer Comic Challenge promotion in 2020.

Disco is correct. For context, here is the exact message from the Community Team way back in 2016.

Now that we’ve revealed our upcoming hero, Ana, we know that some of you may want to try to prepare for her arrival either by stocking up on Loot Boxes or holding off on opening the ones you already have.

Before you do that, though, please remember the following: Loot Box contents are generated at the time that they earned or purchased, NOT when they are opened.

This means that any Loot Box you earn or purchase now, or at any point before Ana is released, will not have a chance to contain her cosmetic items. Only those Loot Boxes that are earned or purchased after she is live and playable on your gaming platform will be eligible for her skins, sprays, voice lines, hero emotes, etc. (This is how the system will continue to work for future content updates, too.)

I would not worry about it. Remember that when you receive a Loot Box, the contents are already determined when you receive the loot box and not when it is opened. The opening is more or less a fanfare animation, so you can enjoy the surprise of what you get. I don’t have the details of what it will look like for the automatic opening, but we are more than aware some of you have been stockpiling through the years and will be ready for it.

Can you describe which ones you are referring to? Past icons such as year-marked icons are typically granted at the start of an event for free (not from a Loot Box) and are not granted again in later years.

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the radio silence on this, but the team has been hard at work and should now have resolved the queue time and priority pass bug.

Greetings again, everybody!

A fix to the PlayStation login issues is being rolled out now, and you all should be able to get in. Continue to report any issues as you come across them. Apologies for the long delay and I hope all of you enjoy the Anniversary Remix Volume 3 event.

Hello everyone,

As a quick update, we have identified the issue on our end and working on a fix, but it may take some time still. Apologies, but I do not have an ETA.

We will have more details coming soon, but basically, we will be stopping the sale of Loot Boxes from all of our platforms at the end of this seasonal event. Once this event is over, you can still earn standard loot boxes by playing the game until we launch Overwatch 2 on October 4th.

Hey guys, to help out I need to know which platform(s) you cannot access your skins on (PC, PS4/5, Xbox 1/X/S, Switch) and which version of Overwatch did you purchase to get the Origin Edition skins (Origins, Collectors, Game of the Year, Legendary Edition, or the OW2 Watchpoint Pack).

Hello everyone,

I can confirm that we are aware that PlayStation users are having trouble logging in. We are working to resolve the issues as quickly as possible.
