To get access to the story mode missions, Overwatch 2 players have to pay $15. A decision that the players do not like.
Want to play Overwatch 2 story mode missions? You have to pay. While players are eagerly awaiting the sixth season of the famous shooter (coming out on August 10th) and the big update that will come with it, they learned that a paywall would be installed. Those willing to spend the required $15 will have access to the first three scripted levels, taking place in Rio de Janeiro, Toronto and Gothenburg.
